Here is some 700 Grizzly action that might surprize some of the hard core sport quad riders...</end quote></div>
I'd never even think of doing that with a grizzly.
Like playing basketball with a bowling ball.
I admit I was shocked.
I bet that Grizzly is too.
Can't be nothing stock under that thing!</end quote></div>
Why not?
Ive done some jumping on an outlander. Jumps nice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Turns nice too with the right tires.
Most poeple who say utes cant jump have simply never tried. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Well.... when I was growing up, a buddy of mine had a Fourtrax 300 4x4... the old full-time 4-wheel drive machine.
He rode the the dog out of that thing like he stole it... and tried to ride it like a sport quad.
Everything we did on 250X's, Mojave's, Quadsports, LT250's, 250R's, Tecate 4's, etc... he would try to hand with us on the 300 4x4.
And if there was every a guy who could out-ride him on the same machine... well I would have paid to see that... LOL.
If they would have had UTE racing back then, he'd probably be famous by now.
But anyways... I'd never think of leaping a Grizzly over an MX track like that because to me it would never occur to me that the Grizzly would be a choice for that application. It's like your Jeep banner there... I guess you could install some new suspension on a Jeep to lower it way down, coupled with some racing rims and Pirelli tires to make it handle better, and buy a bunch of hardware to go under the hood... and take it as hard as it will go through the 600-foot slalom course with Corvettes.... but it's probably nothing you have ever thought of or would consider in the future.... and even if you did, you'd likely never record a trap speed of 65 mph with it.

It doesn't surprise me, plenty of the guys I ride with treat their utes like sports. The resulting broken frames, shattered cv joints, and general drivetrain abuse convinced me. While you can ride a ute like a sport, you had better trade often or have deep pockets for repairs.

ok so let's see your utility drift around a turn on a trail going 60 in a stable fashion, or pop a wheelie in any gear (or start off from a stop and ride a wheelie up through 50-60mph), or hit a 60 ft jump hundreds of times in a row and not take on any real damage, then hit a tree going 10 and not have to replace the front plastics and the front rack, along with the front bumper (vs just the bumper on a sport quad)

A sport quad because it is the only thing to ride in the dunes as far as fast and fun goes and easier than a bike. Most other places I would prefer a dirtbike. It is so much fun riding on trails and rocks with bikes. It's absolutely crazy fun. Esspecially in Moab Utah. Moab on a dirtbike is some of the most fun I have ever had. It's awesome riding up the slickrock!
