Well I bought my new 04 400ex new last weekend and could only ride it around a field by my house because I didnt have any time to ride any where else because of work.
Yesterday after work I finally got to go for a ride with my friend on some train tracks and we got to a bridge over a stream where you had to go down into the woods and across the stream to get back to the tracks. Well there was a post on the side of the trail that i rubbed the back right tire against and it instantly went flat. Took a closer look at the post and towards the bottom there was bard wire wrapped around it. I couldnt see it because it was hidden by tall grass. Tire had a slash in it about 1.5in long on the side wall to the treads. Rode it back to the truck flat. First thing this morning I ordered a set of holeshot xc 20x11x9. I know the 6 ply wont help for barb wire but it should help out for the sharp rocks.
This sat we have another ride planned and luckily I have a spare set of wheels off my 300ex with razrs on them.
