Went on a couple rides to my favorite 2 trails: The powerline & the dry creekbed. Redyfz450 hit a sharp rock just right and punctured a front tire but a plug kit -- and the entire sheet of plugs!! -- got us back on the trail. That wad of plugs lasted the rest of the weekend. No pics Sad

Shot a short vid of the group driving by on the powerline trail:

Jim Whitcraft blew out his reverse right at the end of our ride. Thought it was a belt at first, but the shaft could be seen spinning.

Here's a group photo taken from a different angle:

The "400 Hill" claimed a couple more victims. Redyfz450 got a little sideways backing down and had a bad tumble. Sorry to say I didn't catch the entire nasty rollover. I think it ended up rolling 270° and bent the rollcage on one side and the spindle on the other. It was still driveable, Jeff was OK and not too upset about it all.

Laymansm let his brother take his 800 Cheetah on this early Sunday spin and ended up snapping a tierod at the top of the hill. It took about an hour to slowly ease the buggy down the hill by winch. The winch was then used to draw up the broken corner so the floppy wheel wouldn't dig in. It was driven out without further help.
