Phil think you might ever have a ride when us normal working folks have off? That slope in your picture and log on the bank has Sonny name written all over it.

Mike it happens all the time, I always regret not trying to do an obstacle the day after. Now it will bug the shit out of me the rest of the week. . I should've been able to hit most of these logs being more on flatter surfaces. 
. They weren't any larger than the chopped ones I was hitting toward the end of the day.

Sonny you change out those knob tires for the correct tires you will laugh at how much easier things will be. Sorry for getting you stuck on the side of that trail climb but you needed to see how I was able to just find that tiny bit of traction available and ride past you while you was stuck spinning and pushing. All about contact area and torque to find traction when none exists.aai wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 7:47 amMike it happens all the time, I always regret not trying to do an obstacle the day after.

You guys had a good learning day.

Mike, to be fair if you had ridden my bike Im sure you would've walked right up that muddy camber hill also 
It was my lack of skill, but once you told me to weigh the rear down I walked up it. Regardless Im sold, the bike was designed to have a tubeless rear trials tire on it. The bit of time I rode Wes bike with the new 803, and jumping a few logs, seems to roll off the log straight and not kicking to the side a little like my bike. Flatter profile of the tire cannot hurt. When I was doing stationary balance on his bike, seemed much easier also. Rolling from 5mph to a stop and balance. I think I found a solution on going tubeless, they sell these plugs to block the rim lock hole. What do you think 
Regardless Ill buy extra tubeless valve stems, if that's what's needed to plug the rim lock hole. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tire ... le-plugs-p
Im done with winter, need to ride more!

That plug is good for a tube type to keep junk from getting in the rim. I was putting over 60 psi in the tire to make them pop and lock to the rim. You go ahead and stick that little rubber bullet in your rim and pump up to 60 psi and send me the video after you crap your pants with it flying past your face.aai wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 9:11 amMike, to be fair if you had ridden my bike Im sure you would've walked right up that muddy camber hill also
