ROCKY MOUNTAIN OFFROADING

Mountain West Motocross Park – Saturday Practice 4/24/10

Justin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:30:14 +0000

For everyone that came out on Saturday I promised to post some pictures and for all of you who did not make it you missed out on some fun and a great day of riding. The track was nice and wet in the morning and shaped up into some great lines by noon and made for some great riding. There were a nice group of families that came out to enjoy the track while alot of people went to crowded Price to the races. It was good to see the young one showing up the old men, 8 year old World Mini Champion Garrett Marchbanks #82 showed why he is the fastest kid in the world on a KTM as he tore the track up with all the big bikes!!! The wheelie/stoppie contest was alot of fun and the fastest lap went to Beck #363 with a 1:21.
We did have a couple of nasty get offs on the table top, one leading to an ambulance ride for Clint Carter he has gone through Surgery on his left Femur which was broken in two places and shoulder, but is waiting for swelling to subside on his right ankle/foot for doctors to be able to repair it. Everyone please keep Clint in your prayers for a speedy recovery so he can get back to his family.
If you didnt make it out there will be more practicing this weekend and Race day will be April 8-9 so be sure to get out and race.

Sand Mountain, UTAH Dune Jumping Kyle style!!!

Justin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:49:31 +0000

Just thought that I would post a quick video of my friend Kyle Smith and his buddies getting a little air time at Sand Mountain. Sand Mountain has it all from the BEST sand drag (mountain not little wimpy hill) in the country, to the best bowls and dunes to fly around and out of. Now for the jumping part!

Polaris Ranger RZR Intake upgrade

Justin — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:13:15 +0000

Polaris has missed the mark on the RZR with the intake system and it has been catastrophic for many owners, my father in law being one of those. He has been through two engine rebuilds in under 800 miles, not typical of any Polaris machine. They mostly ave problems out west but anyone is at risk. The main problem is the way the chose to connect the filter, it does not stop all the dust from entering the motor causing a build up in the throttle body and what ever doesn’t stick there goes straight into the motor!!!!! There are many fixes that work well for different riding styles (mud, sand, desert silt,ect.) This is how I chose to relsove it for the type of riding we do, desert, sand, mountain trails.

I went with a KMS Performance intake I have logged just over 600 miles with this system and have had NO DUST intrusion at all. I have been very happy with the result.

Here is a link to purchase it. I am not affiliated with this company but they have it!

I also purchased a HOLZ Racing Products engine air vent kit to help pre filter but I have not installed it yet. Here is a link to that product also:<
Dust intrusion from the first 120 miles pre KMS intake:

Back of air box flange cut off to allow the KMS billet flange to be installed:

KMS intake flange installed I used a bead of silicone underneath it to seal it to the airbox:

Backside view bolted up, this provide a better clamping surface area:

I changed the weak worm clamps for Stainless steel hose clamps on the intake boot:

Loaded the K&N with Outerwear and clamped it to the flange and put the air box back on:

over all KMS Performance did a great job designing this product and it works great, I a very happy that i bought it!

Justin — Wed, 13 May 2009 05:22:03 +0000

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!!

THE LEAD BAN ON YOUTH MODEL ATV’S AND MOTORCYCLES HAS BEEN LIFTED TEMPORARILY

Justin — Wed, 13 May 2009 04:30:23 +0000

The vote is in: CPSC decides to stay enforcement of law banning youth-model motorcycles and ATVs.
Here is a link to the AMA story:

Malcolm Smith defies the U.S. Government

Justin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 05:46:17 +0000

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

Mayfield, Utah Arapeen Trail System

Justin — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:02:06 +0000

Just thought I would share all the fun we had on Labor Day weekend in Mayfield,Utah. Here is some info from the US Forest Service website: WELCOME TO THE ARAPEEN OHV TRAIL SYSTEM Check it out on the web at: www.fs.fed.us/r4/mantilasal The Arapeen OHV Trail system is located in south central Utah on the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Over 350 miles of ATV and 4X4 routes are included in the system. The backbone of the system is the scenic South Skyline Drive which is a rugged 4X4 experience for most of its 58-mile length from Utah Highway 31 on the north to the Fishlake National Forest boundary on the south. Access to the western side of the trail system occurs from Sanpete Valley and US Highway 89. Principal access points include 4X4 route #4 in Spring City Canyon, ATV route #3 in Manti Canyon, and ATV route #2 in Twelve Mile Canyon east of Mayfield. Access to the eastern side occurs from the communities of Castle Dale and Ferron which are located along Utah Highway 10. Principal access points include ATV route #5 west of Joes Valley Reservoir, ATV route #62 from Ferron Canyon, and 4X4 route #7 also located in Ferron Canyon. ATV routes shown on the Arapeen Trail System map (in green) include sections passable only by ATVs (vehicles 50” or less in width) along with other sections where ATVs share the use of Forest roads. ATV routes are also shared by horses, mountain bikes, and hikers—so please watch out for other recreationists. 4X4 routes shown on the Arapeen Trail System map (in purple) include sections passable only by high clearance four wheel drive vehicles along with other sections that may be graded or graveled roads shared with standard passenger cars. 4X4 routes are also shared by ATVs. Other Forest roads shown on the Arapeen Trail System map (in black) are open to ATV and 4X4 travel but these are generally dead end routes with no opportunity for a loop experience. All travel on the Forest is restricted to designated roads and trails. The trail system is generally open beginning in late-May although trails to high elevation areas may not be accessible until July 1st. Winter snows generally close most trails to use by early November. Individual trails are also periodically closed to protect wildlife on winter range, movement of cattle on and off the Forest, or for maintenance and reconstruction activities. These trails are being developed and maintained for your use and enjoyment through a cooperative effort between the Manti-La Sal National Forest, Utah State Parks and Recreation, Arapeen Trail Council, Goodwill Riders, and many local volunteers. Please recognize it is a privilege to use this trail system. Familiarize yourself with the signing protocol, ride within your abilities, leave the land better than you found it, and be safe!
