I got stuck in 2 feet of mud today in the first 2 minutes of my ride and had to wait for someone to pull me out with their winch. I'm new at this and got a little nervouse when I felt my ATV leaning as I was going through, so I let of the throttle, yup, I let of the throttle. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! valuable lesson learned. I will never STOP while going through deep wet, wet mud like that again. Once I realized that, I was good for the day. That Hawkey can get through just about anything. I went everywhere the Sportsman 500 I was following went, no problems. Although whenever he went through really deep mud I made my own trail around it (where I could of course) for fear of getting stuck again. I think I'm a wimp.....

 

Yah mee too!!

Front end went in right up to the tops of the tires ///like right now/// a$$ end of the quad was still up. Tried to winch forward///BAD MISTAKE got buried in mud so thick may tires could hardly move. 20 minutes later and 50# heavier I got out of the mud thnks to a buddies rancher 4x4 and 3 guys pushing

 

Sounds like you had more fun than me. That mud is crazy stuff. Imagine being out there alone when that happens.... That would s--k!!!

 

You need to watch a sport bike like a suzuki z400 with a good rider go through that stuff, I know a 4x4 makes it alot easier, but knowing how to ride makes a world of differance. I'm sure in time you'll be right up there with the best of them. I too am new to quad riding.....best of luck

 

ya mud is alot of fun u ought to see my wife w/ her t.blazer go though shes a nut for sure.

 

Mud=full throtle

 

I've just got a Trailblazer 250, but the first weekend I rode it was wet ground and I had to slow down to go around this tree in the middle of the path, mud was on both sides so I had to make a choice to go to the right or left of this huge tree. I choose left and got caught up in these huge roots coming out of the mud. I was alone and stuck with no winch. Brand new quad, stuck and it was getting dark. Well I had to leave the quad and walk/run back to my truck and get my wife who had come only to watch me ride.. Well shes a girley girl and had on a new pair of Birkenstocks she had bought the day before. Well I got out of the mud mess with her help. But still catch flack years later because of her sandels getting mudded.

 

yea that doews suck. thats why i never go riding alone w/ any machine that doesnt have a winch onit. i wont let my wife go out on her trail b. either by her self for one of those reasons.
