I'm sure your rappy kicks a$$, but it is hard to believe you can make it up every hill, esp. without paddles. There's a couple hills there that I've only seen "rainbow" tracks - where the quad, rail or bike could only get up 2/3rd and come back down. I would be truely impressed with the quad that could conquer every Cinder Hill.

 

patsraptor,
I went over 100$ hill about 8 times and was successfull every single time. Million dollar hill would have shut me down with knobbies but tree huggers blocked off the road (saying we are causing too much erosion). That is the biggest baddest hill in the Cinders, you can see it from flag. Two other hills I made it up about half the time(One hill to the left of strawberry bowl and 50$ bowl has one that winds in and out of trees). AGAIN, you really would have been pissed when I actually took off about ten feet up the hill, and climbed it again with knobbies. I am not saying I flew up it that time but I did climb it bogging in 3rd. 100 is not that bad without paddles as long as you got torque. You sould see my sister literally fly up 100$, I weight 190 she weighs 125 and is flat out a rocket.

 

Again I did not say I could climb everything without paddles, I said WITH paddles. I'll admit that I will not climb million dollar hill or the red hill to the left of 50$ bowl.

 

Its been a few years since I've been there and I climbed most of the hill I wanted with my banshee at the time with Turftammers but If your running a Craycrafy 686 then I'm pretty sure I'd be able to climb it with my rappy.

 

patsraptor,
you would not have a problem at all. Not this year, but last year I went up $100 with a pipe, jetting, filter, and gearing twice. Not the best percentage, probably hit the hill around fifteen times and made it up barley in 2nd gear screaming, twice. Thats what I'm talking about, the challange. It takes a very skilled rider to make it up with knobbies.

 

Oh I see about the challange, I have a cheap set of paddles I run for that kinda stuff but I'm selling my raptor so I doubt I'll be heading up there.

 

Patsraptor
why are you selling? are you getting something new?

 

Do any of you guys have pics of these hills???

 

Buying a street bike looking towards a ZX-6R Do you know someone looking for a clean fast raptor I can meet you half way (Winslow)????

I only have a few pics of the Cinders but don't have a scanner

 

How much do you want for it? I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it since we are having a baby in December. How about trading for an '01 Raptor that only has about 70 hours total and then selling my Raptor? I wish we could just trade then I would be happy, but you probably wouldn't.

PM me if you want.
