cinders this weknd in flagstaff jun 21

Im tearing up the truck at the cinders this weekend for the first time Ive never been there if anyone up there wants to say hello im known to have beer

 

I can't go, but remember to air down lower then you think. Also if you go down any of the steep hills (million dollar hill) throw it in 4wd low and 1st gear and don't hit the brakes. It can pitch you sideways and you will roll all the way down.

FJ going down Million Dollar Hill

 

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering if I could atleast go down it. Shouldnt a little throttle correct the slideways. I cant wait!

 

Fuck that haha. Thats a guarantee death if you roll

 

To get up it you have to go around the back and drive on the edge of the of the volcano. Not too hard plenty wide to be up there safely. Also don't go into the cones. It is super hard to get out because its hard to get enough speed to get up the walls. We spent like 45 min trying to get another FJ out before he finally made it. Have fun. Its always a good time. I'm sure it will be busy so you could probably follow someone around there.

 

Its the only time I've been wheeling where I was hanging from my seat belt. we though the guy that went down before us was going to roll it half way down. He was really old and always had to have the leader keep an eye on him. RIP COPDOC

 

Thx i do have couple people coming up with me and my boss who is a regular in his rzr. I like to show him what can can be done in our trucks it always blows his mind. The rzr is cool but id rather be in my truck.

 

I prefer to be riding the quad up there. This was my old Honda 450. I miss it.

That's nuts! Lol

 

This place is crazy fun a must see and i have cell service!

 

Can't make it out this weekend but I literally live about 2 miles from here. Could provide a place to crash for a few people with plenty of parking at my place. Good fun. Let me know if anyone wants to setup up a weekend to go play again. New to forum and would like to meet some members.

 

The Cinders is awesome. You can break but only feather to maintain speed not allowing any locking. I had to a few times going down because I was catching up to the truck in front of me. It looks intimidating as hell, and if you don't respect it, it will kill you... but it's also not really all that bad either. The cinders is a wondrous near off-planet exploration like wonder really.

 

Jake always takin pics of my ass. the cinders were definitely fun. Would like to go back sometime.

 

I might try to check that place out next week looks like a blast.

 

I plan on goin again in a month or so when flag starts getting the afternoon showers during monsoon

 

This when you need to come hit it! Snow season, just bring some friends and radios/walkies

 

Should be fine! I didn't even get near close to stuck but that's 4wheel, so some speed should be fine!

And I had to slow down actually, buddy of mine has mid travel and was flying 40+

 

i would love to to go when its snowing! Do you just have to time it right and get lucky because i hear the Gates locked during show season?

 

It's mostly timing, wait till mid snow season when there's some on the ground, then when forecast says a storms coming, plan to go 4wheeling that day!

But we got lucky haha
