I made it through on 32's. 31's with lockers then it could happen and with no regards for damage then its a go.

Freedy didn't just bust the axle joint, he also took out the driver side front axle at the splines. The aftermath wasn't pretty. I can't remember if it was you or Jason Jones that almost got hit with flying schrapnel from that exploded joint.

I am sorry to hear about that Robert. I would have liked to meet you.

It was a great run though. Definitly the most challenging one for me yet. If it wasn't for Ron holding my hand through those knarly sections, I probably would have had a ton more damage. Pretty much all of those who came (John-John, John, Ron, Scott, etc.) got the same damage in the rear quarter panel and I think everyone had a broken taillight. No major damage though. I felt like the Joker there to entertain everyone with my three wheel tricks.

Lion, you got those picks of me tipping? And Luther, where the heck were you?

-Avery
BTW BUSHWACKERS SUCK UP THERE!

Robert, sorry to hear about that, hope you're feeling better soon!

Not having actually been on the trail before, we spent some time just finding the trail head. After that, it was all good :D

All in all, a very fun trail with good challenges. Everyone did a great job of driving, and NOT breaking. The only thing that suffered was the sheetmetal, and a few tailights...

http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57167

We could have prevented a good majority of the body damage, but first time on the trail, some aggressive lines, and for most of us, no one taking bypasses means somethings gotta give :D

Avery had some exciting moments, John/John went thru with no rear locker, Scott showed that sometimes a bypass can be as bad as the main obstacle... In fact that major boulder must be in the one obstacle just to break the fall if you roll. Avery from one side, Scott from the other...

It was a very fun run and the first time I've met Scott, John, John/John, and the first time on a run with Avery. You guys did great!
Good to see Lion again... The trail photographer. We capped off a great day at Coaches, and I think everyone got home at a reasonable hour.
