Mostly quads but some trike action in there, with a scary as hell all three wheels locked up sliding downhill on a very steep and rutted climb. Going down was much worse than trying to come back up :lol:

Looks like a blast!!!

That Grab Bar that you have on the front of your R, did you make it? I am thinking of making something similar for my DX and would love to see where it is that you have bolted it to.......

I did. As it turns out its mostly too high for a good catch bar on the hills. Its just bolted to the top triple tree bolts. Works good as a camera mount though.

That was just fun! Kids and I watched it before they headed off to school. Love those Banshee's. That hill was insanely steep, and the ruts from the quads puts your already light front end about 6"+ more vertical. That would be a blast, the spotters are such a good idea. Way to ride it Billy, ya need a couple more trikers to work the dirt together, the old video's was all trikes and they had it dialed in on those type of hills. Cool, very cool, lol.

I still have some more dialing in to do on my bike. I'm running paddles that are half the cost of the Skat-Traks, and they work pretty good but they aren't the same. I'm also only running a +6 over, and all the banshees are +8. The one hill I tried over and over again, I wish I had some side-angle footage or some from the bottom, it was just plain ridiculous and there was a little turn about half way up it that was hard to do on a trike too. Theres been a few members of the board at the place but everyone else was just busy this weekend. We'll be back soon I'm sure :)

The Banshee at 7:58 got some pretty good air!

Yeah, and the video doesn't even really show it well be cause you can't see the ground entirely. In person he was easily 7-8ft up in the air.

Dialed in a little bit better on the low speed carb setting than my 250R. I need a #52 pilot and I only have #55 or #50, #50 is too lean so I have to run a #55 with the air screw just about all the way out and its still a bit too rich.
