Yup unless I really want to do some hillshooting up the hills on the backside and way over to the left or right of Sand Mtn.. I really do hate paddles for the most part..

 

What about fronts?
When you say its better on jumps, does it just not track out the jump as bad, or what?
Interesting, thanks

 

cmon selector you only made it out to the comp hill,one of 7 hill shoots,you dident se1 % of Glamis,it's way better than LS,trust me the dunes out there are sick as hell and vary from small to huge....

 

I run Mohawks on front. Rear paddles will dig a jump down quick and you must have alot of speed up a dune to jump off of and throttle control is critical...... Nobody in our group runs paddles, including the wives. Z400's help and so does their excellent riding skills. Most guys that ride w/ our wives are amazed at how well they ride. It's all about momentum and knowing what to do. If you're a rookie or on a lower hp machine like a Warrior or 300ex then paddles are a must, but I see alot of these lower hp machines running 8 paddles which is waaay to much at our elevation of 5000ft. In wet sand they shouldn't be running paddles period.

You must be careful running paddles in the wet sand. I was out riding in Pismo Dec 26th and it had been raining for the past 2 days. My buddy was riding his KFX 400 with skat trak haulers and tore the paddles right off of them. Made it for a pretty sucky day of riding.

 

Wet sand and paddles = horrible riding...... People think because they ride on sand they need paddles. I ran up Utahs, Sand Mtn when it was a little moist on my bro's cam modded YFZ w/ no paddles against three piped Banshee's w/ paddles and I absoulutley smoked them. The paddles were robbing hp while I was just motoring on up w/ no drag on my run..
