I would say that came out about as good as it could that fall would have hurt if it was the roof you landed on

Had a blast! Sweet buggy mike. Out of all the new climbs right there IMO this was the toughest one to play on. Glad to have seen everyone again. Chad :mrgreen:

Glad he's ok! But here I go again... lol Every w/c cooled I had would rare up just when I really needed the grip.. Narrow baby chains on one and fwd Passat on the other solved everything. All you w/c's out there. You know you have to let off every now and then, just when you really neeeed the power. And backing down a hill and hitting the brakes ain't fun either. I know somebody out there somewhere is going to chime in and say, But mine don't do that. So let me go ahead and say B/S!

Im sorry passat but no ac buggy there even attempted that hill. And when you can show some vids of your settup actually climbing something he can't, you might get some believer's. And that was only like the 3rd time mike had that buggy out he is still tweaking on it I will garuntee with his driving skills and a few changes he will climb with any ac. And I know he will out climb you, the way it is now. That vid does the hill no justice it is nasty.

Thanks everybody!!! that one scared me because I knew the drop off was below ,but as said it came out really good.Yeah Dave morgan and I wear a neck roll and they help a lot,i was wishing I had the wings on seat like Ron Cummings does ,that would have helped a sore neck.PASSAT you are partialy correct I couldn't stay in the throttle all the way but if you get them so heavy on the front they just spin out every time.my goal 75% rear 25% front where mo`s ss is I am 76.5% in the rear right now ,when these other trailing arms are done it will be where it was designed. pretty weather and big climbs its hard to stay home and weld but there coming. if it don't work il be the first to tell ya :D THANKS TO ALL MY BUDDYS FORGETTING ME RUNNING AGAIN AFTER THE FLIP!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Larry I think I could climb it in the silver one .its balanced like I want it. We are pretty close on the wc just not there yet. I figured it would take me most the summer to get it there.different shocks and trailing arms I think will do it. It was alot easier with the vw ss cause all you guys had already done all the work .I just copied!

I agree mike, I think the silver one would climb it. I had a lot of riding I wanted to do and really didn't want to take a chance that early or I would've hit it also even though terry was sure trying to talk me into it,lol.and after the monsoon storms and a case of beer at 2am I really didn't need to be on it either. :) :lol: :roll: . I know it is climbable and honestly looked like your balance was pretty good just had so much power after you would land it was lighting your tires up and the ground was soaked. I think I'm going to get a seat with the head sides also and for sure get a neck collar. Was scared when your helmet flew off that was a violent hard shift to one side. I think a lighter helmet,neck collar and better seat and we'd all be a lot safer.you never know when your gonna roll and it ain't hard to throw it on the buggy and put them on when you decide to play. Chad :mrgreen:
