A weak attempt!!

A weak attempt to join the "all the wheels in the air" club.

I also joined the very exclusive "flop your 6 wheeler on its side" club. Sorry no video of that manuever!

I give you a 10 for the effort. It was close. I will need a still for the Air Buds wall. So let's hear the story behind the rollover. Glad you had a rollbar.

Exclusive club?

Micmac,Pretty good effort. I dissagree however about the "flipping on it's side club" or the other versions including the multiple roll club ,being Exclusive. many of us know too many members too well. I would like to know how to get Out of the club!

[Mike]

Yeah, I want to hear the story of how you flopped too? As for the jump, I have to give you credit for not letting off the throttle at all. I think the only thing that kept you from getting major air was the way the hill rolled onto your driveway gradually? If it was a little steeper you still may be in the air now Great job!

Great attempt, Micmac! I'm sure the wheels were all up at once. I think you deserve extra credit for performing the feat in a such a jumbo machine.

I'm also a member of the "flipping on it's side" club (and the "multiple rolls down the side of a hill" club, and the "rolling a 208TT over on your head with no rollbars" club, etc.)

First off I think It would have been a better jump except the lawn leading up to the hill had a slight incline, the squirrels in the mighty 16 Hp Briggs just couldn't get the job done. As Scottie would say "We don't have enough power Captain!"

Alright on to the roll over story: All of this took place at my in-laws "farmet". They have about 10 acres of land for horses. I was helping my father in-law burn a bunch of trees from the paddock that we had cleared earlier. It was such a nice day I figured I'd do some 6 wheeling while we had the bonfire going. Well like any respectable farm they have a huge pile of compost, which is a fancy word for sh**. Perfect for wheeling I say! After a few runs over the top, I tried to drive on the side of the pile. As I was doing the off camber thing I got the bright idea to turn toward the top of the mound. As I did the machine came up onto the downhill tires and did an nice slow graceful flop on it's side. I was wearing my seat belt and it was so gentle all I could do was laugh and realize I'm in deep sh**! I shut the machine off crawled out and pushed it back over. I checked it out everything was good to go. It started back up with no problem. All the while my father in-law is watching this and shaking his head. I'm sure he was wondering how did I ever let my daughter marry this knuckle head!

Whipper you are right about roll bars being important. This was one of the reasons I went with the Max IV. I like the roll bar design, it's not overly heavy I.E. you can still go in the water with it. Also I like the forward facing seats for my kids to sit in the back rather than the side facing bench seats.

Well, that was a crappy story *rimshot*

[GREASEMONKEY]

NO WAY I'm getting up the brass to try a jump! Hat's off to you!
I had the argo wide open on an old dirt road ONE TIME! My buddy fallowed on his atv & clocked me at 32mph. I'll never do it again, it scared me sh!# less. It was all I could do to keep it straight, and still felt like I was all over the place! I'll keep to the average 10mph.

Argo's don't fly very well, too front heavy. Without willing passengers in the back, at least. They are hard to come by.

[micmac]

Roger,

I've seen the stuff you do. I can't imagine why you can't find anybody to ride along with you!!!
