I have every intention of going to Hawk Pride this weekend to test out the Ftoy. Guess I'll have to find some folks to tag along with there since everybody went last weekend and broke their shiit and spent all their money.

A guy from bamaoffroadgroup, actually the guy who started it, came and rode with us for about 3 hours Saturday morning. He has video and pics. As soon as he makes them available I'll post them. All I have at the moment Ledge at the top after exiting Upper Ditch, ledges aren't my cup of tea Upper Ditch

As for how it did.....un....effing.....believable. I didn't break a damn thing and ran everything. We rode by ourselves after the bamagroup guy left
Maverick Goose Ghost Rider All the snake trails....Viper, Timber Rattler, Diamondback, you catch my drift 21/22 Brokefoot The trail that breaks off to the left just after the big slab before Brokefoot "gets real" Lower K5 Upper K5 Lower Ditch Upper Ditch New trail called Merlin (new to me any way) This trail kicks serious ass Twisted Trail Lucky's (missed the turn to hit lucky's loop) Hardline Trail Bucks Pass Bacon Waterfall
I may have left some out
I don't care for ledges or SRRS hill crap or stupid drops
People can carry on all they want about a buggy and stickies making things too easy....whatever. Had I been in a full bodied rig it would have taken serious damage. I didn't even dent my exhaust. But I am 30" to the frame and 27" to the belly. The winch laid dormant all weekend, there was never even a threat of needing to pull cable. Used one tank of propane and it had at least 2 hours of run time on it just sitting at home....without that I wouldn't have had to switch to the second tank.

Sounds like you tested it right. That's a solid trail list. I can agree about ledges, they just straight suck and have a zero fun factor. Hills as well.
Glad it all worked out for you man. I've been keeping up with your thread

I remember doing that one trail to the left at the slab on broke foot. Me and Jeffrey Lane were in The Thug long before he was stretched and stuff. I love that trail list you did, I have a feeling I won't be hitting most of them on the New Years trip but I will as soon as I have my own rig again. Can't wait to see this thing in action, maybe I'll bring you that spare tank soon

That trail is called back door. There are there other hardcore trails that are very neglected and need some attention from those capable. Super short but hardcore.

You have to know the trail to really appreciate that......as I know you do
