last I seen them, they was toppin' the hill and working thier way out to the trailers...for :beer: and some grub....

I got some great non-digital shots....and a Video....
now, I got to find some Yota axles....:flipoff2:

I just got back from watching them run that trail (Asylum) when they say it's a mean trail....they are not kidding...I bent my front axle on the way out from the Trail Head:nuke:

Well, we just spent 24 hours on Asylum, roughly 12 to run the trail and another 12 to get out the exit "road". Yep, 12 flippin hours to get out the exit road :eek: Imagine going up , then down a mountain, loose dirt, nasty inclines (over 30 degrees in some places) and it's mostly off camber. We trudged up and down the mountain guding each of the 6 remaing rigs down the mountain, using straps and people as ballast when things got tippy. To top it off I just looked thru my pictures, seems the focus machanism wasn't working so about half of them are blurry garbage (and I just spent $200 to "fix" the damn thing) arrg. I got some good pics of the front of the trail and 4 or 5 of the pics of the waterfall turned out. :mad: :mad: :mad: There were a couple other digital cameras on the trail, if any of you guys read this can you send me your pics? When I get a copy of the video I can try to do some video captures. Anyway, I'll post what I got. This trail takes 4 wheeling to a whole new level and I don't want to see what's beyond this......

WOW.....we could see some of you over the top by the time we got to Mc Dowell rd. We tried waiting for you guys to top the Hill, but we didn't have anything to eat all day..and didn't plan to be there overnight like some of you did...LOL

I got the guys phone number that took the video...he is going to make me a copy...as soon as he does...I'll make sure you get one too.....:D

One of the reasons we took so long is Zuk broke an axle (D44) at the waterfall. Well, by the time he got to the top the u-joint caps on the other axle were coming off so he pulled the whole front driveshaft (which was also mangled). So we basically had to get a dead rig all the way up then down the mountain. Cool on the video, let me know.

Carnage report, one stock birf busted in one of the toys (in the exact spot Zags broke his), one main leaf snapped, one dana 44 outer stub shaft broke, mangled front driveshaft, and one d44 u-joint almost exploded (all I can remember for now). No Super Birfs were harmed in the running of this trail which is freakin amazing considering Zags is running 38's and Bad Karma has 39's :eek:
