haha yeah we have some rolling hills and stuff, but its the flat prairies out here..wife does most of the camera work, so props go to her, I just about ran her over yesterday, I built up the landing ramp, so naturally I had to hit it a few times, got twisted in mid air. I'll do up another short vid of that, this might be one of my favourite pic nows

Just gotta know?
How was the landing!
I'm adding those two pics to my favorites.
Love the fact dirt is flying off the skid plate.

with that land and looks like you have a tractor you should build a little track, out at Glamis there are these tracks known as worm bowls, they were started way back in the late 70's early 80's by ACTs sliding around building up berms, there are many large enough to run a pilot or oddy around in, pretty much like a roller coaster ride but you have control, or not :)
there is one at wash 6 that I call the macaroni bowl as it is shaped like an elbow mac, the walls are probably close to 45% and about 8 or 10 feet wide, they are dug into the ground by nature as the sand/dirt that make up the wall is what is shot off the tires from inside the track, from ground level you just see a bump about 3 feet tall but inside it's about 6 feet, maybe a little more. a word of caution, you do not want to find one of these things by accident it would definitely mess up your day.
I was in that running around and you need over steer to make the turns, I tried a slightly different line while trying to pickup speed and under steered and plowed right into one of the banks, I can tell you that they are not nice forgiving sandy wall they are sand dirt and gravel and as hard as cement. I had to go to the local fab shop to get my front end temporarily bent back close and welded along with re-seating the bead on the front tire.
I have thought about building a replica track at my house but then again I don't think the neighbors would appreciate the sound or dust it would generate.

im uploading a video right now. 7 mins of abuse..the landing is not the best, but everyone survived lol

kuma

we have an acreage tractor with a bucket, I would love to get to the sand, I looks like so much fun. I had a trip planned to St. A. but the dam borders are closed and stopped that trip. I built a few more smaller ones for the boys to hit. the Oddy doesn't like the smaller ones as it seems to kick the rear up..see video

Thanks
Just had my morning coffee.
Wish I was there to hit that. Looks like you were having a blast and the ody does well. Pretty sure that is what Honda had in mind when they built them. Just plain fun

It honestly is a shit ton of fun. And so far it handles it well. The rear shocks could be a bit stiffer. The boy is getting pretty good on his dirt bike. Starting to do some tricks now. He hits the landing almost perfect every time
