Ha on the selling out comment. You've ridden more over the past 2 + years than some have over the past 2 + decades. Missed a handful of rides with life stuff and now you talking about selling out to ride motor bikes with/like ole Tony Bolton. :rolf:

Well tell us how you really feel… :rolf:

Life is a lot about seasons. You've had your "wheeling every/every other weekend" season and now it's "wheeling as often as possible" season. If you sell out, then it's "wheeling when a buddy has a seat" or "wishin I was wheeling" season.

Yep. I went to Tellico 11 times one year, and somewhere else most other weekends.

When I sold out a few years ago, it was with the plan of building a "real" house and getting my shop "back", now that that is actually happening, I realize I've got a year or 2 worth of projects just on my property before I can realistically consider getting a rig again.

I'll be hanging and trimming out cabinets this weekend

Yeah I look back at high school days of ATV riding somewhere every other weekend then moving to crawlers and wheeling monthly-ish on average for a few years, and now quarterly on average for this current season. Miss the woods and fire hangout time but the season just keep changing.

Sounds about right plan vs reality wise though.

So how was everyone's riding weekend?

We didn't go riding per se, but spent lots of time wheeling the tractor and Teryx doing some land clearing at the wife's family land.

we went to aop saturday. was one of the biggest groups i've ever rode with. 11 or 12 rigs. rode until darkish and went home. my **** is hurt. pulled the front diff plug before riding saturday to check the fluid and it was flakey and shiney. looked like strippers live in there with all the glitter bits. but hey it had fluid in it. was the one thing on my buggy that wasnt leaking.

That's great on the group but not so much on the stripper glitter diff fluid.

We were at AOP. There weren't as many people out there this year. Got a little rowdy at the top of trail 51: they said I rolled in mid air and then slid down to this ledge. Glad it stopped...

Any other pictures or videos or that?

unfortunately, of the three people taking videos they all stopped right before it happened. I was giving it hell on the right side of the top ledge for like 5/6 tries before this occurred. I have a video of flipping it back over but I'm not entirely sure how to post it here. We took a beating this trip though. Pulled in Friday evening and proceeded to shred the rear driveshaft and snap a chromoly front axle shaft that night. Luckily Travis had some square tube lying around and I built a redneck toyota driveshaft for the rest of the trip.

The newer trails on the right side of the park are some serious tree heavy runs though. both sides of what's left of the body took a beating.

Sounds about right timing wise for the pictures and videos.

For the recovery video, you should just have to "Attach Files" > "Choose Photo" > select video and then post.

Also sounds like some "fun" carnage.
