For those of you who saw the last couple ATV TV shows on the outdoor channel for desert racing w/ the pro's, you have to agree, the blue Raptor they showed was SOOOOO BAD!!! I would love to have one if I didn't need 4wd where I live & ride. 14" of front travel w/ larger Honda brake rotors. The 2 desert racing shows were cool I thought. I love them modified Raptors. Wish I had an extra $10,000 laying around.

Ya, I do. You got that BIG hill climb you can see from the hill going into Beaverdale. Never had a chance yet but it looks like a doozy.
I go swimming out there in the Rock quarry-you should know what I'm talking about.Last year there was a bunch of us swimming up there and this kid from our group could NOT swim and jumped in and doggy paddled to the MIDDLE!! Needless to say, I had to save him because everybody else let him sink. I about did too when you swam up to him to save him he would wrap his arms around your neck and put/pull you under, I didn't want to let him go. He took me under about 7-8 feet I ripped him off me went up and got more air, asked for help from the BIG MAN UPSTAIRS, went back down grabbed him(10-15 feet down) and mustered all the energy I had left to swim him to the island. I could've killed the guys just standing around but I didn't have the energy-just layed there for about 1/2 hour dead to the world. I'll NEVER forget that day for as long as I live- Thanks GOD (again). Sorry 'bout that just remember that everytime I think about Beaverdale. We should hook up sometime--it seems to be getting better outside. You probaly know me I drive a White Stealth - aka Big Daddy.
