Where are the pics and videos for those of us left behind?

[Mike]

I didn't get there until late today so it was really too dark for pictures. I did get educated by jerseybigfoot on how to straighten an axle in the field though. He and racerone3 got me going again tonight in a fairly short amount of time. Here is how it was done for anyone ever needing to straighten one without removing it from the machine:

Are those the rawhide 25,s that you talked about installing on your Max II? If so, are the 25 x 12 x9 or 25 x 11.5 x9 ?

[Roger S]

Dave, he chose the 25x12's as they are a little shorter.

Yep, the old chain and jack axle field fix.. who was the route6x6 guy that posted that years ago? Dave ____? I did one of my argo axles like that.. it pushed a bearing retainer out of shape enough to make a little play in the brg..

So, Jersey IS taking care of the "Kids". You're a good man, Marc. Nothing better than actually seeing it done.

I got one picture today and it was a picture of food. How sad is that? Lori made these cool six wheeler cookies.


I did get some video that will take a few days to process but for now here is a screen shot of Jennifer dropping down a small ledge:

It was a great weekend! For the first ride this year, one of us wasn't injured the week before the ride AND Brian and I traveled down and back with no incident! Woo-Hoo! The riding was great and so was the food but, as always the people made it AWESOME! It was great seeing "old" friends and making new ones. As I always do after a weekend like this, I'm ready to do it all again!
I didn't get my camera out once the whole weekend. I left the photography to Brian this trip. I know he got some great shots and he'll have them posted soon!

Had a great weekend, could not have asked for better weather. Riding conditions were great......lots of mud, water and a great crowd to ride with. We never were able get a count on the exact number of members or machines at the ride but i am thinking it was the most we ever had. Thanks to all that came. Hope all have a safe trip home and we will all meet again in April for the 2011 ride. There were lots of videos and pictures made and they will be up soon.

PS: Had the largest turnout of wives for this event i have ever seen and we truly enjoyed your company, hope you ladies will come and ride with us again.


Thanks to all again and have a safe drive home.

We had a really great turnout and Lewis is right, there were more women there this time then we have ever had. I was impressed with the driving from all of the women. You gals did great. Here are a few more screen shots:

Glad to hear folks are making it home safely. The boys and I made it home about 5 this afternoon and when we got everything unloaded we found that we'd brought home enough Busco sand to fill a sandbox. The machines are a muddy mess, we're home sunburned, tired and dusty but glad we went. It was great to see old friends and meet some newbies! We ate like royalty all weekend and the trails were a blast. Can't wait to do it again!

Carolina Boys (& girls) Rock!

Hmm, Marc and Brian fixing an axle at Busco with a chain and Jack, Seems familiar.
I HAD to laugh at this Mike, not only did Marc and Brian help straighten an axle for me on the Wolf at Busco last year, it was the same one, front left. I guess Busco is hard on that axle

I had such a great time with you guys! That is one of the best places that I've ever rode. Thanks everyone for the great times and great food. Hope to see you all again soon.
