Busco Beach ride in N.C. - Oct 10-12

Tanks don't climb well

Tanks don't climb that well so me and the Avenger stayed horizontal.
But to give Mike his due he tried very hard on the side with the rock. He was fearless: Kudos for your effort on the front side Mike. The other side was as steep and the video as always did not do that hill justice. That thing was steep!!! and long.

That is definitely a great place to ride. I don't think anybody else tried that particular hill however Jennifer and I left the night before anybody else did so someone may have tried it Sunday morning?

no body did mike. we went and played at the outher dunes

Mike, Did anyone make it up that side of the Hill? Did George try it with the Springer? Can't wait too see the rest of the Video Footage!!!!

Mike, That video ROCKED You know that you look great in a springer. I was rooting for you at the hill climb. Did anyone else try it? You guys have the best playground I've ever seen for AATV's. It I lived there, I'd be hanging out there at least a couple times a month.

Whipper, I did get a few clips of George in the bowl. I'm breaking the footage up into several videos. The first one shows clips that were taken on the sand. You see George in the bowl, me testing out the springer, George in Bud's racer, and me again trying to climb the steepest hill that we could find.

That hill was all sand except for one rock...one stinkin' rock half way up the hill. Everytime I would get to that rock I didn't have enough speed to jump up on top of it so I would have to roll back down. Finally I went to the other side of the hill which was just as steep (but rock free) and I made it up.

Wow, we are really loving ALL these videos & pics. George hasn't even posted his Blockbuster video yet & we have no doubt it's going to be awesome. I'm curious if anyone has any pics or videos of the bowl that George said was out there?

Everytime I see one of those "Where's Whipper" I think %$#@ , I should have bought that ticket. And Robbie, Bridget says imitation is one of the sincerest forms of flattery and seeing you hang upside down on George's springer made her smile. All you needed was the Big Sunglasses.

As far as the Air Bud shots, we quit accepting those 2 weeks ago. JUST KIDDING! Bud you will be the youngest Air Budder on the Wall! Congratulations! But watch out for Q. He now has a goal to go after. He might just get even for that "Brotherly Love". Robbie I knew a MAX IV could go faster than 10mph & that Air Bud shot was not easy. Congratulations! You are on the Wall!

We went out riding Saturday, just to kill the pain of not being there to meet the Carolina Boys & Company.

McCoy- It was meant as a compliment as well. I don't think I'd have tried it without roll bars, but now I know it'll do it.

Robbie- If Whipper & Bridget don't show up next time, I'll bring you the big sunglasses. Great pic!

Racerone3- looks like the camera was jumping a little in your Budracer video. Next time I'll make sure you get a ride before I do!

Lewis- Now Q wants an Avenger, thanks a lot!

George- You take great pictures! I haven't known anyone since the 70s that would travel so far or go through so much trouble just to hang out with a bunch of amphib nuts. You are the man!

Dan & Biscuit- Thanks for the push! Sorry we didn't get to ride together more.

Mike- If it wasn't for you and 6x6world.com, we'd never have gotten to know this bunch. You have a great group to ride with. Many, many thanks.

Judging by the photos/video and turnout - this is was a very cool place to ride. Great to see amphibs in numbers outside of the upper midwest! (oh and Whipper's hood).



Don't worry ,I'll be getting in to some action - SLOWLY - but surely. Installed two refurbished axles/bearings and repainted 4 wheels this weekend. Only 3 more axles , 2 more wheels to paint and 1 jack shaft bushing set and installing the new clutch and changing the t-20 fluid left. with 1 day to work on it per week - maybe it will move by the end of the month!
