Pickett 2/23/2013

Had an awesome day at Pickett today! The day started a few minutes late due to a few being late to show up and in the first four and a half hours we covered only about 20 miles due to mechanical failures. We had a TRX450 break both back tires off the bead at the same time, a YFZ450 chain come off, a t-rex bust a bighorn, and a RZR with 4x4 issues. We also had an RZR on his side twice and a rhino on his side once so we headed to the truck to limp the T-rex out and while at the truck several decided to head home but the elite three headed back out to finish the ride and rode a total of 50+ miles with no more issues, we was back at the truck around 7:30 cst and over all had an awesome and "muddy" ride.

looks like you guys had a eventful and fun day - good video.

Yeah it was eventful. I had a good time until I ripped the side of one of my tires. Then we broke a strong arm and cracked a socket trying to get the wheel off. It seemed like every thing was against me yesterday. ooh well next time I'll have more tools with me.

we live and learn bro, we got to get some radios two..

Yeah the next purchase after the tires and maybe rims I'll get a radio.

Great vid! Radio is definitely a good investment. Go with a permanent if you can.

Radios make the ride work a lot better, one of my top 3 mods. Who was the final three left standing?

what did you hit that ripped your bighorn? do you have bighorn 1 or 2's?

Not really sure what i hit. it seems like the tread is hard as nails but the side walls on the 2.0's are terrible. I have so many holes in my tires now that I'm going to have to buy new ones.

I purchased the original bighorns because I have read they have stronger sidewalls-time will tell.

Have had my original big ho's for about a year. No flats of any kind. 14 psi in rear and 12 psi in front.

Thanks, what trail is that rock on?

I just put a permanent radio in mine for the Windrock ride and loved it. I believe the rock is trail 8. It runs off trail 3 but in the down direction. Looks like you had a great time. Good video and trails.

Now I have a permanent radio and tires on the way.

Bluedevil when are we going back to Mud Camp?

I have been thinking of going back soon. right now I'm waiting on tire's and a radio. i may not be able to go this weekend, but might whip something up for the 9th.
