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"....
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.....
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....
one of the few times we stopped for water ....
