I know the snow is almost gone buy this deserves talking about, it looks awesome!! Mike Metzger was talking about this at the Salt Lake City Monster Energy Supercross and I had to check it out! I haven’t seen a new product that has excited me as much as this one in a very long time. I am ready to go buy a new KTM 450 just so I can try this out. So if anyone at 2Moto wants to send me a demo unit I will be happy to try it and sing my praises!!

Malcolm Smith Shows Government What

He Thinks of CPSC Ban On Youth Model

ATVs And MCs

In defiance to the STUPID youth ATV ban, Malcolm Smith showed that he is a true American and stood up for his beliefs!!!

He sold machines to motorsport greats Jeff Ward, Troy Lee, and Bud Feldkamp as part of a protest at his dealership. He could receive jail them and a possible $100,000.00 fine for each of the three machines sold. Pro Circuit’s Mitch Payton, “The KING of Supercross” Jeremy McGrath, and many other showed their support to Malcolm defiance of this ridiculous law that should have never been put into affect!!

Help stop the ban on youth model OHVs

Justin — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 21:32:52 +0000

Take action now:

Help stop the ban on youth model OHVs:

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) has effectively banned the sale of youth off-highway vehicles (OHVs) as of Feb. 10, 2009. The AMA is calling for action now to help reverse the potentially devastating effect this could have on the sport of OHV recreation.

I am very passoinate about My freedoms and this great country but sometimes if we just sit idley by our elected officials will do things that are not in our best interests and do things that will negatively affect our way of life.

I took this info from the AMA web site, I urge and beg everyone who reads this to visit these link contact your elected officals and voice your disgust with the way this matter has been handled.

PLEASE DO YOUR PART IF YOU VALUE YOUR OFF ROAD EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE A VERY NEGATIVE EFFECT ON ALL OFF ROADING AND OUTDOOR RECREATION!!!!
THANKS;
JUSTIN

Moab Rim, Moab, Utah

Justin — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:31:11 +0000

Moab rim rises up from the Colorado River and rides along the cliff edge it stops at the top to overlook all of Moab a few of the obstacles includes devils crack and the Z turns which can be very intimidating! It is very close to town and very challenging for a stock rig, although i did take my TRD Tacoma up it.

Devils Crack;where the guy are standing is the cliff =150 straight down to the road

Gold Bar Rim Golden Crack, Moab, Utah

Just a few pics from Golden crack area in Moab with “Chief “. Chief’s F250 is a crawling machine and I have yet to see anything in Moab that it can conquer, although with out Chief it wouldn’t go as far! Chief’s Ford has D60’s front and rear Detroit locker in the front with a Rock Logic hydro assist, and a welded rear. He is running 37X12.50X16 Maxxis Creepy Crawler Stickies which are completely amazing!

I love to run Gold Bar Rim backwards to Golden Crack and turn around it is tons of fun. If you are feeling brave run Rusty Nail which is just a mile or so from the trail head of Gold Bar Rim and come out backward! That is if you are not afraid of heights!!!!

Metal Masher trail Moab, Utah

Just a few more pics of the TJ in Moab on a recent trip with my father-in-law and bro-in-law. They are all on Metal Masher trail and Gemini Bridges where a bunch of Circus tightrope walkers were walking rope strung from one side of Gemini bridge to the other and a few other cliffs with 400 to 500 foot drops. Very cool!
