also I run 33x12.5x15 at offroad tires and I am more aggressive in the dirt than the sand solely because I know the terrain better. but I do like to jump and ride wheelies quite a bit, on both dirt and sand but at the dunes I love to run through the whoops full bore!! for now I will have to hold back a little more till I get another bike rail built.
The other thing DS forgot to mention is that his was catching 15 feet of air on a motocross track the weekend before. Which surely over stressed the stock R and P which broke at Syracuse the next time out. But with all that said the stock R and P will still take alot of abuse before it breaks. With weddle gears in it, the next weak link was the OEM R and P.
Your point is taken.... I think everyone who knows me on here knows I am a safety advocate (a tad extreme sometimes), we HAVE to build safe machines (for ours and our passengers sake), but where do you stop? If my car was as safe as technology could physically make it, it would probably weigh as much as a Leopard tank.Given the scenario youve just described, the guy who commisioned you is a silly bugger. He's had the front crumple happen and STILL didnt relocate the tank..."Rules! For the guidance of wise men and the control of fools". (was prolly 'Big Brother' who coined that phrase...)
yes 15' to the top of the cage is true. I made 8 consecutive jumps that afternoon with 4 different passengers so between the 8 jumps that landed on flat dry cylay everytime I was between 8' - 10' off the ground below my tires according to 4 eye witness's. so I would have to agree that probably didn't help but pulling a wheelie and jumping into the air while in the wheelie and then landing still in the wheelie and gunning it to ride it down the other side finished it off! which of course was the following weekend.
Go big or go home right!!
