ideas for a Floation device
#14
GEEZ LOUISE I just spent $200. on those strykers. I am open for suggestions though. Last week this other guy who happened to meet up with us while riding was talking about some tires he had bought and was disappointed because they will fill with clay between treads and become slick with 0 traction.At least these DO clean themselves and I don't loose traction. Well (so far a least). I think the other guy was talking about Vampire tires not sure though I can't remember exactly.

No offense taken; seriously. I was leery about buying them at first but I had to consider two things. One; that I do still want to ride around my yard without tearing up the grass and two, I like to trial ride and most are either red sand clay or just sandy soil. There are a few times when ya really get into sloppy MUD but you have to go looking for it around here. So far they have done great for me. They hold the trial great even at a medium fast speed about 30-35 mph and the lugs throw the sticky mud/dirt right out of them. I live on 26 acres and the back 5 is swamp with railroad slag on the other side. My recon does a great job in all the terrain.
Where I was last weekend was about 15 miles from my home and it was a new trial for me. But I had a blast though. We crossed 1 creek about a foot deep and about 4 MUD holes, one of which was really deep and I found the deepest part on my own .I got a little worried cause I did slow down through the middle of it but I wound up getting through it with no problem.
Things like that big unexpected mudhole is what got me to thinking about the flotation device for the front end and a possible snorkel. As you can see in the pictures though I keep it clean and any maintenance is done quick as possible.
There was no offense taken and for sure I am always open for suggestions.The way I see it is, you're never to old to learn something new.
