Merkley 2010 Winter Ride

[Bw6]

This is a long video, I was going to break it into 3 parts but Youtube lets me post videos over 15 minutes, so I let it go. It is almost 19 minutes! Most of it is kinda boring, but everyone is having fun, just past the 11 minute mark, a couple guys get a bit crazy. Didn't do a lot of editing, it's kind of raw footage, but hope you enjoy it.

looks like a good time was had by all BW6.do you guys do a spring ride?

[Bw6]

[plott hound]

I was very impressed with the Argo Bigfoot with the swimmer tires and of course the Frontier with the snow machine tracks, they seemed to dominate the show. I have heard that a Bigfoot with 24" Frontier tires is a very fast swimmer, seems to be true? Tip for new drivers, when you go into a watery mud hole give the water a minute to flow back past you and then hit the gas that way your not working against the water flowing against your machine.

yessum please.

Ok Talbot, I'll put you on the list, can't wait to see your finished project in action.

Good stuff!! Looks like you guys had a blast!

Thanks for the video!

It always suprises me how much fun you can have on 75 acres. Larry your not too far away, think about joining us in the spring.

Hey Dan, I was mainly concentrating on those 2 machines, especially the tracked Bigfoot, my conclusion is the Adair tracks would have outperformed Ted's machine, especially in the water where Ted had very poor directional control.

Haven't posted videos in a while, forgot about the new "insert video" feature, thanks for editing.

Talbot, the ride is at Rick Merkley's Farm, just outside of Straffordville, I'll give you plenty of notice, the more the merrier.

Thanks MC

You all know I'm not a mud bogger, but I really enjoy your videos. You guys have way too much fun & I like how you guys aren't afraid to try anything. That's the kind of video that would make a newbie want to buy one. Keep them coming.

Yes the boys do get a little crazy at times, but no one seems to get hurt. I could take about 3 months of desert riding right now, we got dumped on with about 3 ft. of snow. I miss Yuma used to spent some of the winter there. Thanks for your comments Whipper.

Great footage I just assumed it was more land than that. It definitely looks like a great place to ride.

[Bw6]

Mike, again thanks for editing, yes I now see the "+" button. The farm has more land than that, but everyone always heads for the 75 acre swamp, AATV's are "Swamp Magnets", Hey that would be a good name for a future build, hmmm.
