yes thats the 60 ft tabletop. early in the day i cleared it but as the day wore on and i wore out i was not able to hold on to the quad so i backed off a bit. that step up is a mental thing, if ya do it its like landing on air...but if not it can hurt ya. i did the last double on the track...the big one...but only once. thats a nice track.

+ what a arms did you get????
also, what kind of adjusments did you make, preload???, i just left mine from works and it is almost at the top, and landing are so smooth, turns on a dime( at least close to it ) the only thing is that when i come up short, i come very close to bottoming out, i hit a 25 footer, in mud and did have enough spend and land on the front of the landing ramp, but it didn't feel like i bottomed out,
Now time for a rebuild, the back shock is starting to piss me off because it is not doing aswell as my fronts..
i think i will try the elka rebuild from quad shop.

dude wash under ur fenders lol :blah those are some very sweet pics from rausch. i thought that 1st tabletop was only 50ft but thats sweet if it is 60. i clear it most of the time. that stepup hurts if u dont clear it u bottom and smash really bad but if u clear it its alot of fun. we gotta hook up sometime before the sumers over and ride. next sunday?? :D

Dude, i am too lazy to wash under my fenders before i ride, because they just get dirty again:D
I don't know about cutting my fenders because, racing mx races in mud with cut fenders anit fun, plus my friend has a sweet track, but he didn't plan it out before he made it he just duge out in front of it so it has huge water puddles in front of the jump..
but hey i might, in the summer, or just buy the white full born plastic with shave fenders already and switch back and forth pending track conditions.
i'll see
maybe i will crack them soon from to many role overs that i will have to cut em

i dont know, it may be 50 ft...felt like 100 by the end of the day!!
maybe sunday will work, i normally ride on saturday and use sunday to goof off and clean the quad. i left the settings from works also, i only adjusted the camber and toe in the front end.
not to be rude but is that an actual mx track where you compete with other riders? if so dont the rocks hurt? we have all clay tracks down here. and that step up looks awesome. none like that around here!!!

at first i didnt wanna do it but then i finally did it and it feels so awesome clearing it just the way it launches u....but if u land like on top of the part sticking up hold on cause its steep and u go on a long nose wheelie...i hit it in 3rd when i was there... but it was all muddy thats prolly y i didnt hit 4th....the best thing is when u clear that table top then the step up...thats a challange lol....the other stepup is just like that 1 to i think cept less of a lip.
Pappy
06-30-2002, 09:19 AM

hey Pappy, do you remember Rausch atvriders.com ride in 2003, while they were filming H6? i was on the built 300ex (my dad actually) and i was riding a stock 400ex. when everyone was just chilling, my dad decided to try that on my 300ex. the shocks were too soft for me and i was only 115 pounds and he was 230. do you remember him crashing? :devil:
