ICU trail: 2011 action..
we went on the first run of the year this weekend. we started out with 4 rigs but after i had some trouble getting up and out of the first obstacle and Phil broke a front axle in his rig doing the same....the trail was wet and very slippery...the others opted to leave and run an easy trail...but of course we weren't leaving, so we loaded Phil's cooler in my buggy and kept going....

here are some vids and pics:







1st climb...




more vids...

after 6 or so try's...finally made it out...

2011 first run, ICU Trail #2 climb...all wet.. - YouTube

then it was Phil's turn...and the D44 blowing up.....again.

Phil...trying..trying..broke.. - YouTube

after this the others left....so on with the trail. next climb was no problem...but the 3rd (first big waterfall) was really slippery...i hit it again and again...finally finding some traction...

ICU Trail slippery when wet...!!! - YouTube

the rest of the trail was very slippery...we tried the new section, but it was too wet...so we decided to finish the original trail, we made it to the end but got denied on the "BONUS CLIMB"....

....awesome day, awesome company....hope the trail is dry next time....

Just like NEW..!!
Well with all the rain we had the trail has changed a lot...lots more exposed rock and boulders, way less dirt and all the climbs have gotten bigger and harder...all the rocks and logs that we stacked the first time we built the trail are ALL gone...and this time we are not going to "build it", it is what it is....cant wait to hit it..!!!

some cell pics...of course the pics dont do it any justice, if you've seen it in person then you know..

we decided to run the trail over the weekend, because of a big rain, we had done some work on it the week before...we tried to keep it to a minimum..making the trail more challenging...well we got exactly what we wanted..

pics..

on the way up to the first climb....





then into the first climb...it was a bit more of a challenging than we thought it was going to be...both Doug and i took some damage..

on to the 2nd climb...

VIDEO:

YouTube - 2011 1st run new ICU Trail 2nd climb..!!!










as soon as we moved forward the back tire got a little too high on the wall...causing the front to stand straight up...so again we pulled line to keep from wheeling over backwards...
