yes, so far i like them alot. i noticed that if i landed a jump wrong i didnt get slammed by the quad. i know they arent high dollar but i can get them serviced locally and could afford them. im too old to get into the who spent more money game!!! and besides, i only do big jumps every now and then..hehehe

If you would get some douglas ultimate billet beadlocks rears and maybe a billet center fronts that would easily be the nicest lookin quad on the site

they are on my hit list....my birthdays comin up so maybe everyone should help convince my wife thats what she should get me!!:D i will redo the entire quad this fall....then it might be one of the best quads around. it stopd traffic as it is. i wish i was 17 again so i could ride it alot faster etc. im just enjoying getting back to atv's.

didnt he just bust a nac nac off of that jump?? Well in my book that probably is the sharpest looking quad on here. Very nice

Pappy
06-20-2002, 09:21 PM
maybe i should ground his butt...or cut his head off in the next pic to make him mad! ahhh....its all good. i geuss this means i will have to take another afternoon off work and try again!

dang thats a nice quad... did u ever think about a midnight blue frame with white and yellow sparkels in it... that quad would turn some major heads....

06-21-2002, 12:19 PM
My riding buddy is 30 years old and he still can't get pics of me airborne,,,it's either right as I land or right as I take off..so your 8 year old is way ahead of my retarded friend..:D

Pappy
06-21-2002, 12:44 PM
i have a degree in photography so you would think some of it would rub off on him!lol! i dont know what color i will end up with on the frame. the blue/yellow sounds good, theres just too many choices....ill figure it out i geuss. i may end up going back to stock red plastic w/ race cut fenders and another carbon hood. the fullbore is sweet but i cant stand the way aftermarket plastic fits.

what don't u like about the fullbores fit??

Pappy
06-21-2002, 05:46 PM
i geuss its just personal opinion. i bought maier and it came off before the first ride. i would like some plastic(like stock) available in race cut with a choice of colors. its nothin against any manufacture, just they way i like things to be. i just like the way the stock plastic mounts to the quad etc. am i makin sense or diggin a hole?lol!:cool:

Tommy 17
06-21-2002, 06:12 PM

i also heard a few complaints about the way fullbore fits. i think some orange plastic looks great and i dunno what color frame. those are cool pics make sure u get some from rausch u will love it. dont feel bad ur 8 year old will catch on soon enough....my like 47 year old dad cant take good pics either. maybe 1 out of 100 pics will be ok. in the past 9 months he took like 3 good pics of me lol.

06-21-2002, 07:53 PM

06-21-2002, 08:06 PM
its www.rauschcreekracing.com i believe its exit 107....then u make a left its about a few hundred yards up on the left u cant miss it...u go to the top of a hill and theres a big sign saying rausch creek mx something something...u should see the tracks before the sign though to get u pumped lol.

Pappy
06-21-2002, 08:18 PM

Tommy 17
06-21-2002, 09:39 PM
yep its exit 107....

when ur goin up 81 on the right u will see a big sign on the side of a hill that sayz RAUSCH CREEK next exit... u can't miss it... u come off and off ramp and make a left... (if u have the big coal mine thingy in ur window ur goin the wrong way! haha thats to the right) then u will see it on the left hand side u can't miss it!! its right at the intersection of 81 and 209


you will have the time of ur life out there... the jumps look big at first and u go around the track and ur not sure if ur gonna hit a table top or double or step up... it takes a few laps to learn the track... the berms are awesome!!!! the supercross track we coudln't even ride over the jumps they were so big... the woods track was really fun make sure u go on that just watch out for the cliffs haha.... i am gonna head back out in july for a 3 day weekend mayb u can stop up one of the dayz...

Pappy
06-21-2002, 09:46 PM
yeah, i hear they have some good jumps. thats why i went riding on thursday...kinda sneakin a lil practice so i wouldnt be to pitiful up there. now i cant hardly walk and my back is telling me to stay in the hot tub!!:D im still going but i dont think ill be riding a whole lot. i think i will sell my house and buy a place with some land for mx track. i need to ride everyday and get back in shape for this stuff!!!! let me know when you are going in july and i will try to make it.
