I’m sure I tried coming in pretty hot. The only thing I shyed away from at all were the deep water pits @joeymt33 loved so much. Was even conned into most of those by the guys. I was like a cat in water even being snorkeled because of the water our first machine took on. Those Ripsaws just didn’t do me any justice when slick.
Just giving you sh*t brother :D... Peer pressure never hurt anyone right??

I found a similar picture of mine... luckily @Bad_bowtie wasn't around to take pictures and make fun of me!

I’m not positive that it hasn’t lol. I know I’m a pretty bad influence sometimes and others are with me too. We’ve all seemed to keep it fairly safe though ;)

This is still my favorite picture of our machine in Tennessee and a damn good memory. My ol lady had a couple beers and figured she’d tackle the hill up to Top of the World. She did eventually make it but I made her stop for the photo shoot.

That's awesome. That hill is super rutted out at the bottom now. I couldn't get more than 25' up it and it wasn't for lack of trying. I may have had a few beverages by that point as well and there was definitely peer pressure involved...

Ya took two shots my first time. Wasn’t bad just had to figure the line up and that rock didn’t help. We were stock height with super soft suspension at the time, not much clearance.
I liked @Eltobgi setup and he was cool about me ripping the Beast around (which I loved btw) and after we crested it again we were all bulls***ting about different setups on it when we hear my machine fire up, she took off around the hill to the bottom then started climbing. I’m sure it was the peer pressure from some talking others into it. Scared me a little when we came over to her, picture doesn’t do justice because of how steep the hill was and how much she’d climbed the bank.
She was fairly content holding the brake while I told her to switch on certain lights. Backed down a few feet and went right up. a couple beers gives her confidence, she does ride hard occasionally I just gotta watch the intake level lol. I really love watching the family do some of the stuff us guys do, makes me happy

I'm sure that was pretty hairy, I know exactly where that is and how steep, lol! There were probably more jagged rocks when she went up it too. I probably could have got further up if I'd sent it into the bank to get around the rut at the bottom, but for sure would have rolled it backwards if it slipped in. I didn't have enough liquid courage to make the attempt which is probably for the best :).

I watch what I say about that nowadays but I do believe there is a fine line. A little to help-a little more to really hurt. I’d hate rolling backwards on that one, it wouldn’t be just a one time flop.

I hope I wasnt involved in the peer pressure part. Was one hell of a try you gave it though!
