New trail put of the Quarry

Nester, Paul, Chris(monster S10) and myself ran the new trail today jus finished yesterday what a blast that is in my opinion the hardest trail RC has to offer and we will run it again it is very technical and dont expect to exit without any dents Nester lost windshield frame complete top, Paul just rearanged his entire XJ the s10 exo took a beating and I lost windshield frame and hood has new dent But I have to say it was one of best days ever.....

pictures?

I'm working on the pictures. The trail was kick ass. Lucky for me I have a back up top for the jeep and the windshield frame took a beating but I can bend it back for work for another couple of beatings. Today along with the lazy wheeling we did just Rob, Amy, Emily and Myself had a blast camping and enjoying the rain under the van lean to.

Damn, you guys are having so much you making me cry!
I wanna play and can't, that sucks!! Great pictures, I wanna see some form Pauls rig. See what he did to it. Any more pictures out there?

Rob might have some pictures up that amy took. I'm not sure if Paul or anyone else took pictures of the trail ride. I would say that if you care anything about the body of your rig or aren't running the right kinda gear that you should stay away from that trail. I will run it again with a small group but not till I get my cage and remove the windsheild.

What trail was it? and where was it? It looked like the south trail park area, is that right?

I think that is the one in south park that starts with a hill climb in back of the quarry. that hill climb has been claiming some tires from the cut of saplings.

Yes it is, we had no trouble with the hill climb the worse is after that, the name is BAD IDEA we got to pick that, exo cage is the best equipment to have for that trail the S10 ate it up which it does to most trails it was a awesome weekend camping in the rain and my new fav food (BRATS) the video that Emily took of me was AWESOME thank you cant wait for May

Great pics..

Alot of video on the creepers website of the climb but nothing about the trail..

Is it alot of off camber that was putting you into the trees?

Lots of trees and off camber. Its the hill climb in the back of the quarry. Oh yeah dont forget we where the first ones to make it thru the trail. Its just a down right bad idea. Its a red trail with out a doubt. Unless they cut some trees down it will damage your rig in someway no way around it. Thats how it got its name BAD IDEA.

I love the name and I look forward to getting into that. However, trails like that make me never want to replace my windshield!!!

Chris had the idea of making it removable. That way you can have it when the weather sucks then take it off when you dont need it when its time to play with the big boys.

Thank you for the pics!

Can't think of a way to make the removable windshield convenient. I'll be removing it for the comp but somehow I think it will be a PITA. By the way don't chicks dig body damage?

greg has his reomovable and it not bad to put on and off. just need two people

anybody make it without winching

didn't look like it from the pictures but on the RC forum Jokeral has a video of himself making it up the quarry climb portion.

The rain that night before made it impossible to get out of the quarry with out a winch. Paul only needed the winch to get out of the quarry and in one other spot. The rest of us used the winch another time. The goal is to return and not use the winches. The biggest problem with the trail is that is all loose dirt, leaves and small rocks to the size of basketballs once you leave the quarry.

Rob very nice pics tell amy good job. the jeep is coming along good hoping to try BAD IDEA may 17 in the driver seat this time.

It will be my turn to work

The thing is other than the quarry we used winches to stay on all fours
