I miss northeast style wheeling sometimes... then i realize wtf there is 20+ places to wheel legally here within 1-2 hours...
 
Nice to see another east coaster out west. Great pics. I just moved to Utah from Cape Cod MA and I hear ya about 20+ places to wheel but its more like 1-2 minutes here haha

It is a lot of fun out here! Nice weather, nice girls, nice wheeling and great times! oh yeah it is effing hot here until Halloween..
 
Sycamore Creek... when it rains in AZ it RAINS!

It was rainy and cold... We met up with some kids with cherokees... rat-rigs ended up getting lost and stuck in a huge storm! It was pretty exciting.

It flooded the kids we followed got us lost we figured out our way out and got home!

Much to my despair my passenger side front fender flare was missing.. To much flex on some of the rocky parts of the trail must of knocked it loose then the the water prolly took care of it the rest of the way off..

So if you have a flare I would be forever grateful!

It was messy and wet but a whole new aspect of wheeling when its that rainy out!
 
great pictures! the big texan has awesome food! never tried the challenge though.

where were all those wheeling pictures taken?
 
i looked at suny new paltz.... is there mad geese out there? haha

:conceited

ualbany was my only other real choice for a shcool and i could not pass up the AZ
 
first real breakage out here on the rail....
