Just got back from attending this Friday and Saturday. Got to ride a good part of the day Friday with two other buggies. Did "Bunny Slope 1" for the first time, and I think it was also the first time I've had all 4 tires off the ground at one time. Then "Bump and Grind" successfully. Next was "Poison Rock", which from the bottom looked easy, but was anything but. Success meant going off camber more than I was comfortable with, although I apparently was not near the flop point.
Then we went to the other side of the park where we did "Gray Rock Canyon", a long streambed run with a lot of rocks that's a lot of fun. Finally "Slip Slope" where the rev limiter was exercised to get up some muddy ledges to find that Tim's buggy had broken. Took the rest of the evening to get him back to camp.
Today I just watched some of the races, which took place on "Bents ad Dents" in the morning and "Cable Hill" in the afternoon. The first guy on Cable Hill flipped at the top and broke badly, needed half an hour to get him off the path. Then two more of the first 5 also failed or broke. Since there were 53 bouncers entered, I decided it was time to get out and do the drive home. I'm sure there will be youtube videos later.
There were hundreds if not thousands of vehicles there (lots of SXS). Never been to an event like that.
Good park for wheeling when no event is on, but most of the trails seemingly require pretty built rigs. Smaller rigs would need someone to lead who knows the park.
