I have a bunch of videos on my site of people trying to make it up Chokecherry from last year. You can see that a lot of quads had a tough time. Straight paddles DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE - I noticed the Raptors that had haulers made it up ok and the ones with V paddles had a lot of trouble.

 

WYODUNER,
Isnt there some big trip planned for the 4th of July? I keep hearing from a few guys out here about this date. But true, straight paddles make a world of difference when it comes to straight on hill climbing.

 

RH, well, I'm planning to be at St. A on July4 and a few others. Some of the guys on my furum are planning to go also. If you are planning on going that would be a good time. There will be a lot of people but this is one place where more people is better. It gets busy enough to be interesting but nowhere near dangerous. It's so big that people are spread all over the place and of course the main attractions like Thunder Mt, Chokecherry and Devils' Dune always have crowds.

Come on out!!!

 

There are crowds at the big hills but nothing like at Glamis, that's for sure.

 

That's true. I think St. Anthony gets just crowded enough to make it interesting. The more the merrier - up to a point.

 

I wouldn't call the sand powdery but it is soft when it is dry. Your machine will have no trouble with the 22" haulers. Besides, nobody wants to ride behind those taller haulers because of the roost. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
