man that was a wild ride down the black dimond wasn't sure i was gonna make it back






yea buddy that black dimond was alot of fun but some down hill winching and creative minds let me tell you was loos and rocky could see where a jeep or some type of vehicle rolled

Looks like fun. The Chappie-Shasta area is a favorite of mine.

Nice....but why the winch? The picture doesn't look that tough...are you pulling someone else?

yea well we were going down not up and the pictures don't do it justice
i was sitting on my quad taking pictures and winching mike down
the boulder where as big as the quads and they where loose

i pretty much slid about half way down the hill i know i was thiking the same thing when i pulled out the winch but what you can see is the ledge that i am up againest is about 31/2 feet straight up and down

i will say is nothing like helldordo video i watch of you guys
but is alot harder then it looks imgine being on a slip and slide of rocks
and comming acros huge ledges alog the way

did i mention i need new tires for my quad that would of helped

Ken, did you not notice, they're riding H O N D A 's.

j/k Roon, that's a long standing joke here on ATVO. Just bustin your chops a little. That area looks pretty cool, how long did it take you to get there? Is there any camping around there?

yea is about an hour and a half from woodland and yes there is a camp ground but there is a catch to that

to camp you half to cross the dam and you need a permit once you get is
good for the hole year but in order to trailer to the camp ground
you half cros the the dam

here is the link i love it up there if you ever want to go during th week
let me know i have 9 acres about 40 miles from there i usaly stay there and go up the next day to cut the drive down i just leave late the night before from my house ranch is 76 miles for you i don't know

as for the honda jokes all i do is complain that i don't have a locker

on my honda mikes forman has the new traxlock system works pretty good but still got the 3 wheel deal going for the first rotation but it still locks up after the first rotation now that he got new tires from nick'd
is way better he said

but there is a new bigger cc quad in my future ither a king quad or can am outlander only because i already have credit with them

have honda card to but i won't make that mistake agian but i did get a good deal on the rancher 20 hours on it and 75 miles for a 2005 rancher at 4x4 for 3100 dollars

i want to go the other way and go up the the black dimond trail but i think we need more pple to make it intresting so iam gonna try to put tegother a ride but having wednesday thursday off is kinda hard

but it is a good ride takes about 4 hours depands on how much you stop

so far i have just mike and i like always but i am planning it out

i will post the dates at least a week ahead of time hopefully
