Hey man, maybe this is a stupid question, but what were you aired down too?

It looks liek your tires are pretty full. I generally run at 15, but I was at 11.5 that weekend.

WItha 2wd, 12 pounds would help. Just a suggestion for next time.
I was down to about 15-17 lbs. Maybe I should've gone down a bit more.

Ok guys, I finally cut the video together. I am uploading it now, so if you see this post within the first 30 minutes or so, it probably ain't up yet:

http://www.protrux.net/videos/Yotate...Break06BIG.mov

I gotta say my girlfriend makes a much better camera person. Next time I have to film, I'm bringing the tripod.

Again, sorry for the size, but the next smallest file is severly crappy video.

Let me know if I should make shorter videos in the future. I try to get everybody in it and utilize all the footage that I have, but if you guys feel that these are too long, I can try to cut em' down from now on.

Enjoy.

Down loading now.

Seth I imagine you get a kick out of it also but would like to say thanks for doing all these videos. I totally dig the music you put in them. Hard is good! LOL.

I will run these at work and when people hear it and say dang man that is some hard core music. It is fun to shock others perceptions of you once in a while.

You cranked out the video in good time, Seth

Shoot, I haven't even uploaded the pictures I took so I'll upload those tonight. For some reason I didn't take much out at Superstition but took a bunch across the road from Smuggler's Run.

Edit: Just got home from work and watched it. I was laughing my ass off everytime the sheik edged into the screen. Great work, Seth!!!!

It's just a section to get crossed up in. I took a pretty similar line, but for some reason I was able to keep pretty level. I thought marc took a super high line, but after reviewing the video, we took about the same line. No worries though, it will be SAS time soon for Marc.

In fact, my avatar is a shot of teh same exact spot.

What!?!?! Suhweet! It's the first I've heard of it! Marc, you def. have to make another trip out here....all you guys should. It'll be too hot here for the
next couple of months, but maybe around Sept. I'll have my sliders by then.

There are so many cool trails within an hours drive from here, plus the river... Maybe we could plan something for around the end of summer or fall?

Ok, hijack off..... (Sorry, I got excited... )

There's a host of trails here near Bullhead, and around Kingman, some fun stuff. Marc's gotta give me a little credit - I did go wheeling with him with a broken wrist and three other people in my truck that were constantly telling me conflicting information about how far I was from certain rocks, or how many scratches each bush gave my truck. There were a few points I almost parked my truck and just got in with Marc...... Naw, seriously, it was a lot of fun. More exploring than anything, but lots of fun. I would love to head out and do superstition with you guys, though. Looks like a grip of fun.

Yeah, after summer would be best...the temps around here get up to 125* - and that's a cool day! The best time to go is Sept, Oct. Although I think Marc and I went out in November and I was wearing shorts and comfortable...

I know what you mean. I lived in SoCal for a couple of years (Murrieta) and got used to the moderate temps. When I first moved back here I was like, "Forget THIS!"
