Great review Dbeck, I just saw it yesterday, I had not seen that the magazine was back up and running till yesterday, just hapen to check it and wow, I like the review and that the the magazine is back up and running. Good job.
I think I might have to have one of these RZRs, its about time someone was listening to what people were wanting.
thanks again Dbeck

Thanks, glad to see y'all enjoying the videos!
We re-launched the magazine, after more than a year-long effort of manually moving content from the old system to the new, around May of last year. We still have some sections to get live on the new site, such as the Dune section. But things are coming along nicely. That conversion was absolutely a huge effort.
Next week we will have a vido of a WWII body conversion kit for the Yamaha Rhino. The dude drives through the woods wearing an Army hat and then starts to cross a swamp where the ice is breaking under his wheels. Check out the front page of ATV Connection.com around Thursday or so for that video. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

About Honda and a side x side, from what I hear it might be more odessy like and a single seater. I have always liked Honda for always having a quality product and great ergos, but I want a side x side vehicle that actaully has 2 seats, hence the side x side name for this class.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
About the Diesels, OFC makes a good point, every machine the army uses are diesel to keep only one type of fuel out on the fields, including motorcycles which they convert, and they do use the Prowlers that have Diesels in them........hmmm

Instigater,
Its been one heck of a week. My guy who does the video processing had to go to the emergency room a few days ago and again this morning. He hasn't been in the office all week. No, he didn't have to go to the emergency room due to anything that I did to him. (I know you guys. I saw that one coming!)
I haven't had the time to learn the software or else I'd finish the video myself.
He is SUPPOSED to be in tomorrow. If all goes well, that means by late afternoon tomorrow it should be up.
The video isn't as exciting as I would have liked. Polaris has some pretty skilled riders/drivers who can do some cool things on a RZR or ATV. I tried to wrangle one of those guys to be my photo monkey (stunt driver for photos), but I didn't have any luck. The video is still cool but its not Crusty Demons of dirt.

We wanted a SxS but they are restricted in many riding areas due to their width, so we went with a Grizzly. I wish I knew about this machine before-hand as Polaris has done a nice job. Thanks for posting the video review.
