I guess it's time for my monthly update. I don't visit this forum too much but I try to keep my build thread up to date. This post isn't too much of a build but more of a good time

The goal of today was to just drive to the mountain and go putz around and explore. There wasn't any real place that we intended on going. We found some cool trails with some cool descents and climbs. It was an awesome day for all of us.

Backing up for about 1/4 of a mile because the trail came to a screaming halt with a nice drop off the side of the mountain.

One of my favorite shots of the day:

What the picture doesn't show is that I couldn't make it up the rock face. I tried a few different lines but the tires kept ending up in the dirt and just spun. One day I'll get lockers and obstacles like this will be a breeze!

Airing back up at the end of the day

The next day My buddy and I went to the Rainbow Falls area and had another good day of wheeling. We didn't get too many pics but this is my runner going down Moab Hill.

A few minutes later I tried to go back up and couldn't make it quite all the way up and ended up getting winched up because I was at an awkward angle and didn't feel comfortable backing down. I tried it again a second time and made it up. I was very impressed with what a runner can do without having lockers!

This is the second time I have gotten body damage from wheeling. I am more proud of this one because it wasn't caused by my stupidity and inexperience. This was caused by going in-between two trees that were a little bit close together.




It'll buff out

I also ditched the onboard air compressor and got an air tank. I tried it out earlier today and it took me about 30 seconds to go from 10 psi to 25 psi. I'm loving it!
