went to Superlift ORV Park in Hot Springs last wekend for a club playday... we ran prolly 15-20 trails... we barely even stopped... I only got one bite of my BBQ sammich before they shouted "load up".... :D

anyway... this happened on a trail called "Four Fingers".... it's rated a 4 (yea, RIGHT !).... you have to make a tight "S" between two rocks bigger than my rig and while making the right hand turn you hafta climb a real slick rock face and the left rear drops in a deep ass hole... I bounced around for awhile like a pinball then busted the LR valve stem off... when I heard that, I went to O/D and mashed it... I came out in what seemed like a wheelstand and then aired it over the edge..... :confused:

no way was those Heeps gonna show me up... at least "I" didnt hafta pull cable or get strapped..... ;) ... the guy behind me had a neat gizmo that used compressed air to pop a rubber valve stem in from the outside... that was cool to see...

total damage:

3 bent wheels... two are having beadlocks welded on, I just need to order one more...

bent chromolly Tierod

bent stock F-150 tracbar

lots and lots of small rubs, dents and dings.

broken valve stem

crushed left rear quarter panel and taillight

both bumpers are scratched, rear has a few dents

both nerf bars have new rock rash.... :cool:
