    i was at 15psi on the trail...

    only issue i had was on the gatekeeper, but everyone had issues with that obstacle...

    but it flexes good at 15 and did good on a variety of terrain and conditions from that trail...from rocks to some wet rooty terrain...

    it'll be fun to continue to test these and see how they do...

    still early to give a full opinion, but so far i am liking them...they look good, quiet on the road, so far been handling terrain and conditions well..

    next trip, i'll try to remember to grab more video on some obstacles....

    there was one point in the trees where there was a wet rooty climb where i purposely went as slow as possible and was pleased with the traction they had..when i hit the bigger wet root, there was a slight slip before it grabbed on and pulled me up without an issue...but i crawled up the wet climb with minimal slip

    moving to the east coast, i'll be seeing more wet conditions compared to out here too, so it'll be fun to see a variety of conditions over the next year....

    beginning of Sept we're looking to head into the UT backcountry again, so more rock testing will be coming within a month

    You do a great job with the pics. I dig it a lot, thank you.
    The wife and I are setting our sites on moving to Colorado. I'll admit, your pictures are helping to add fuel to that fire.

    Wow no shit that's not too far from me. Are you staying long? A bunch of us are planning on doing a run on class 6 roads in NH sometime soon. You should definitely go. Class 6 roads are non maintained dirt roads (trails). Some are pretty fun
