    Buddy Scott smashed into a stump really hard and was tossed off the trail. Bent a very heavy duty skid plate almost to the motor. Weld did not crack. Might have been real bad if no skid plate and was right where the sight glass is. .

    I only watched the first 2 minutes, but was that recent? Where is the snow and mud?

    I'll bet he was happy to have that skid plate! :thumbsup:

    Yep, we usually have to travel 2.5 hours to a place called Belfair to ride this time of the year. It's like spring around here all the time. Bring on global warming, I'm going to plant Palm trees. :cheers:

    Did you get permission before you rode them? Did the loggers have permission to log them?

    Inside joke in case anyone is wondering.



    That was a nice stump he cased.
    I bet he felt that shockwave. Ouch!

    And nice work by the skidplate.... a lot cheaper than a new frame or engine cases.

    I was pretty surprised when I hit the stump with the skid plate and missed it with the front wheel. I got like 3 feet of sweet air:lol:
