Godzuki II, first trail ride
« on: February 08, 2009, 02:13:52 PM »
Man I wish we had a s|removethispart|t eating grin smiley, but even that would not express how pleased I am with the ride. Even being a Kick on 37's I was the BABY of this bunch.... ahhhhh, back home in the world of V-8 buggies and cab trucks, with enough HP to pull over a house and tires as tall as my hood  8).

The entire day was made up with me pointing my Liberty Overland Kick at a little tougher of an obstacle and it tackling it every time. The pinnacle moment of the day is when (with an AWESOME spotter) the Kick made short work of a 6-7' vertical ledge that I thought was impossible 8). The truck was stable through everything I pointed it towards, I was amazed .

Pics coming as soon as I can get them uploaded.

Thanks!!! I am still hyped up about the ride after a wrestless night of sleep... Yes I had a dream about wheeling  :sleepy:  ;D . Dont worry Mike, it will still be driveable when you get here next week. We are going to another play area next weekend for a little more play time. Greg, I will send you some footage after next weekend. We only got about 5-10 min max yesterday.

Oh yea, I forgot the Carnage report....

One cracked drivers side mirror housing (need a fold away) and a couple of scratched in the sliders and bumpers.  :laugh:

I landed HARD on my Trail Tough Bumpers and Shrockworks sliders a couple of times and left nothing but a scratch. Coming out of those rockpiles with no body damage made them worth every penny. I took a shot to the passenger side slider that I thought I had easily damaged the slider and the door but it held strong. Then when I fell off the rock doing a video tape for Greg, I tagged the rear bumper with the weight of the entire vehicle free falling and once again.. nothing but a scratch. These things are built TOUGH!

(I'll try to get pics at lunch)

Certainly looks like you made it up that wall much more gracefully then the yellow buggy did... Looking good Zig...

p.s. I just noticed the windshield is missing something! I wonder what else I forgot? ;)

I thought about that on the ride home. No worries, I have been sporting the Zukiworld T's and sweat shirts everytime I'm out in it  ;) Can you do one in a Dark Grey (matching the camo.. even better an urban camo one)?

Zig have you considered an ultimate adventure entry? I know Id love to see the holy grail of trackkicks in it.

I have considered it, but if I took two weeks off of work to wheel, I would rather do it with friends than in a magazines ride. I am going to try and hit many different riding areas this year and really test her out.
