Moab RZR Weekend

[Sombeech]

Just got here tonight, we're a little unsure what trails we're going to ride, hoping to get about six trails in.

Will post more photos and video as the trip progresses.

EDIT; Here is a summary video, please go to Page 2 of this thread for the rest of the videos and pictures

At the very least, get in Hell's Revenge, Porcupine Rim and TR6 (about 18 miles North of Moab) to Uranium Arch (stage directly opposite the highway from Archview RV park/campground)

I'd also suggest unloading on Blue Hills Road and heading in/toward Hidden Canyon and White Wash Sands and make a run through 10 mile wash.

Hook 7mile with wipe out over to bartlet wash then connect up with 3 d and then round it out with tusher tunnel. Then head back to parking lot. Best razor ride in moab.

Thanks for the input. We've considered Behind the Rocks, Kane Creek, Pritchett, Poison Spider, Hells Revenge...which these guys all have experience with. I'll show them your recommendations too, thanks.

Hoping to get some good footage today. My GoPro gear back keeps getting bigger

All above are great trails.

Add in Cliffhanger. Good challenges and great views.

With RZR's you could do Poison Spider and Golden Spike. Turn around at the Golden Crack. Or continue down Gold Bar Rim, then return to Golden Spike via the Rusty Nail trail.

If you do Golden Spike, you can also catch a little known trail called "Where Eagles Dare." It shoots off Golden Spike in several spots. A little Googling should help you find it.

We did Kane Creek and Behind the Rocks today. Great trails with some fun obstacles including White Knuckle. I'll be editing some pictures and video each night at the motel, and I'll throw a few more on here as the days progress.

You bet, I've got some, it'll be a couple of days before I produce it though but keep checking back here.

Today we rode Poison Spider Mesa and connected to Golden Spike, and went up to the lookout on Gold Bar Rim (I think).

Had another great day, we're heading home tomorrow. I think I've got about 9 hours of footage to sort through from 4 GoPros

[Sombeech]

Ugh, I'll have to post more at home. The Wifi here at the motel disgusts me.

Nice, wonder who gathered up all the rocks? A month ago we were there on bikes and there wasn't a rock.

[Sombeech]

We don't know either, they were there for us and it sure was nice of them. It sounds like those rocks are usually stacked there

The jeepers have been tossing them down the hill for years. I was interested to see if a razor would flip without the rocks. Looks like a great time.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/07/4a2ehuhy.jpg

In general, how do the short(2 seaters) stack up against the longer(4 seaters)?

[Sombeech]

The two seater had to be winched down white knuckle. They are fun but have a much harder time popping up and down the drops than the four seaters. I think the four seaters would have been close to ok without the rocks there

Not on our ride, we had a winch but it was the end of the day

I'm impressed. They sure go better then I thought they would.

Man, that in-vehicle footage of High Dive kinda puckered by backside just a little.

I spotted my buddy down that on his ATV, it was pretty wild. He did not realize how screwed he was until he got about half way down. Then he was committed.

We both went up Upchuck, but I had a little issue with my tire slipping down in the "V." I got through it, but it was a little sketchy.

Great pics and videos, keep them coming.

I think they ruined Jeeping for me.

The four seaters have a longer wheel base than most Jeeps, I've been told. I remember these type of trails in the Jeep and how long it would take for each obstacle.

We could cover a lot more ground too. Not to bash Jeeps because i still miss my babies:

72638

But dang, i remember if we took bumps like this in the bigger vehicles, something is going to break, err, i mean upgraded shortly.

2 disadvantages, or maybe not come to think of it, are the smaller wheels on the RZR, and how they sit lower to the ground. It really didn't matter much, but we were on the skid plate (after market) and would just let it slide off the sharp drops no problem. I'll see if I can upload the video of "The Crack" on the Golden Spike trail where the underbelly got slammed while gunning it across. But in the end it was no matter, it was taking it like a champ.

Now the smaller wheels I would think would get wedged in the holes easier, compared to the 38" tires just floating over them. But maybe the larger wheels contribute to so many parts breaking as the whole driveline is trying to spin those large beasts all the time.

That said, my buddy Dave has replaced 3 axles I think, but he has been doing this type of stuff a lot in the last few years. He carries a spare axle around in the back now.

Thanks. Granted, that blue RZR was the first to try Upchuck in our party that day and it took him about 4 tries, but the others just followed the same line. The blue one was a rental from Triple S in West Haven so he wasn't afraid to try a few things in it :naughty: He is crazy in general anyways LOL, that's were my "O Face" footage comes from, him fishtailing and drifting while going 30MPH and stupid me without my helmet.

We think Dave in the red RZR broke his rear passenger stabilizer on Upchuck, but he was going to take those off anyways.

So I'm packing up my stuff from the Motel room and I look out in the parking lot to see a guy wearing a Bogley shirt. I come down to talk to him and it's neilether :mrgreen:

I guess KSL used this photo without giving me any warning, it would have been nice to watch it on TV. Maybe I can catch it tonight, I hear it was just before the weather.
