    holy crap! where did all the rocks go? Doesn't even look like the same obstacle! How long ago were your pics taken Adam?

    psshh, after making it through that i told him I don't care if he sells it. Clearly he can build one impressive rig. Ill just wait till the next one.

    I told you!!!! lol I was shocked when I saw how much dirt and rocks had filled in the backside of that thing... The right line up v-notch is becoming the main obstacle while breakover is becoming the bypass. haha :eek: Absolutely crazy how trails erode and change over time so quickly.
    They worked well. Especially on the sand dune jump. hahahaha :D
    :washing:
    :cool:
    It's being sold, man..... and Thanks :)
