During the shootout the first rig shifted a large boulder at the first gate shifting it straight up vertical which hung him up for the entire 10 min and made it almost impossible to get past for the other rigs and us. We were the only rig to make it to the second gate in the shootout by intentionally taking a cone on the first and then we got high centered and ran out of time, had to be craned off the rock lol. Took first in class 3 so not too bad

You should, in no way, take any of this personally. It's just business. So to recap, I come in peace, I mean you no harm, and you all will die. Gallaxhar out.

Unfortunately, the GoPro wasn't recording during the first run. It took a picture instead. If you hit the power button twice when you turn it on it changes to camera mode so I guess that's what happened for the 1st,2nd, and shootout, we only captured the 3rd run on video. His dad was there taking pictures though so I'm sure those will show up eventually.

When it's dry they are phenomenal. My last trip up to Rausch the conditions were dry and dusty and they stuck to the rocks like glue at 6 psi. Everyone in my group was blown away how easily I just walked up some near vertical rock ledges without tire spin. At 6 psi they still hardly bulge when sitting on flat ground just because of how thick the tire carcass and sidewalls are but come up over a rock and it's pretty cool to see them conform to the edges and almost grab the rock. Sidewall traction is pretty awesome as well.
This past weekend it was just wet and a little muddy and they were just about as good as any other tire. I didn't have much less traction than the 40" sticky treps that my buddy was running though. The wet mist on the rocks and soft soil just made it tough to climb most anything this weekend without some throttle and tire spin. Overall, I'm pretty darn happy with them

Here is a video of me trying to go up through the notch on Crawler's Ridge. It was just too wet this weekend to get a lot of traction on the rocks. Then somehow I ended up breaking my fan shroud into 3 pieces, knocking the power steering reservoir off which rubbed against the serpentine belt and started dripping onto the manifold. Then my battery started leaking acid all over the catalytic converter. I swapped batteries and fixed up the fan shroud with some zip ties. I'm going to have to try and patch or replace the PS reservoir so it stops leaking fluid.

Some of the class 4 guys we were combined with. The courses were a little more suited for these narrow, light and nimble rigs with rear steer than for us

UMMMM, never a good sign when the video ends with you looking under the hood with a fire extinquisher.

Would have been classic if you had thought to look right into the camera and gone "oh oh".
