That trail hates me...I can NEVER see the line on that trail.

Only on some occasions can I see the line anywhere else I might add...

Well, so far, the only thing truly offensive I've seen is dissin' someone's rig. That's just uncalled for.

Thank you for reading the post over Mr. blaine.


I did not idle up the trail if this how i made it sound. That was never my intention to make me look good. I Really ony posted to show how much fun I had at JV . I really thought it had everything to offer to everyone. I can see how its hard to understand somenes posts sometimes. Ill just blame it on the fact that i failed typing in school.

I find it humorous that Mr Blaine accuses underwood of having a competitive attitude, then posts a virtual competition scorecard on how he did on Claw Hammer.

Trails change, they get stacked/unstacked, water ruts, big obstacles moved etc. Hell they can change from one rig to the next if stuff gets moved around enough.

That was definitely the easiest trail my group ran, by far. Might've had something to do with us getting twisted around trying to follow the topo on the GPS, and ending up running the trail backwards. By the time we got to the "trailhead", we just then figured out we'd been on the trail! Never got around to running back up it. Is it notably easier going down Aftershock, than up?

But there were a couple fun spots on there, those two massive boulders that make it tight squeeze (especially for ZJs) and drop into a little fall, were the most fun. This was the first run for my buddy with front and rear Detroits in his rig, and the combination of understeer in the soft stuff to nosteer in high traction, made most of Aftershock exciting for him.

[bob91yj]

I hate going downhill, thought of the squeeze on Aftershock as soon as you mentioned it. I'll bet that was fun.

[cbassett]

Depends on yur idea of fun. I got a big kick out of it, climbing the lower rock and looking out the front as it seems just start floating in mid air until finally coming down into the dropin.
My buddy didn't like that line much, and opted to hug the wall a little more... cost him a quarter panel.

I find it less than humorous that you're being a prick about this. If that's what you read into my post, go back and try again. I was making a comparison between how easy or how hard it can be. If you think that's a virtual scorecard in the spirit of competition, you can take your rig, your comments, and shove them both.

I was attempting to smooth over some ruffled feathers and you are not helping in the slightest.

I don't know you, Seth has spoken highly of you and at this point, you're making him look pretty bad. Care to try again?

"I do know that the last time out on Claw, I had a very good day. No stucks, one back-up, nailed the line on the big and the little fall, and the only back-up I took was after my mulligan to get lined up for the launch over the exit."

I call them the way I see them Mr Blaine.

I don't understand why you think less of Seth because I'm honest with my opinions.

Note to driver: Don't put your hands on the role cage cus your fingers won't grow back.

The wife of the president of SD 4Wheelers had her hand sewn to her hip for a few months so her hand could heal after they rolled over in their Jeep. She will no longer grab the rollbar during a rollover.

[mrblaine]

Note to those that weren't there. While the vehicle was in motion, the hands were firmly attached to the steering wheel where they belonged. It was only after all rig motion had stopped, a balance point was reached and Robert had his hands on the front bumper, did I finally pull myself upright with the cage.

Here is a pic of the rig in motion, note the location of the hands-

I wasn't there Robert but so what? I was going to the club's meetings at the time and knew her and her husband. I ran into her husband at ORW a week or two afterwards and he told me what happened... he was feeling pretty guilty about the whole thing. I wasn't criticizing the above photo and the hand on the rollbar, I only related the story of a woman I knew whose hand was mangled by holding onto a rollbar during a rollover.

So Robert, are you saying that who was there depends on how tight the ladies hand was sewed to her hip? On the second part, are you saying it just depends on whose hand is on the cage and who is trying to hold the vehicle up. As I said in an earlier post putting your hand on the cage can lead to some really bad things happening. Ya, I know it will never happen to you, but trust me some of us have learned otherwise.

[Rockjeep]

I remember that day and what a sad event. They had all kinds of welded on hanleds and when it came down to crunch time they were missed and the cage was grabbed. When ever I have a new rider with me I don't even tell them about the handles on the cage, I have them hold the shoulder straps across their chest and never touch the cage. I have also seen people loose fingers in the dunes when a rail roles. It doesn't matter how soft the groung is somebody gets hurt. Oh and nice to see you back Gary.
