had they cleaned up the supercross track cause it was over grown something horrid the other day. All the jumps are able to be done a quad on the supercross. The only jump that is hard is the first of the big doubles. You have to be flying to hit it but u just make it, well it scares the crap out of you as it cases and throws you around for the next one.

Very Happy

keep the front wheels off the ground? (all i do over bumps)
no idea about steering damper
(i always think that if theres something slowing the bumps then wouldnt there be more pressure needed to turn?)

yeah twin pipes look an sound purdy!Very Happy i like it!

having IRS too helps over some of the off axis bumps (i think never really ridden much on straight axel quads) had my quad for like nearly a year now i think...



only bad thing yesterday one of my CV boot's come off (at least i think it came off.. yet to do a check on it!) hopefully i just gotta clean it back up and grease it back up!

if i broke it.... the last one the townsville polaris dealer took like 2 months to get the parts in....

how bout not this weekend comming (as it's easter) the weekend after...Very Happy
saturday too if you're keen on riding other places!Very Happy
(Note:this it pending me asking the boss aka wife for premission:D)

well pencil that weekend in for now see how we go bit closer to then

hopefully it just a clean up job mate. this is my first quad slowly gettin the hang of it. heaps of fun but.

Its hard to keep the front down when you come out of corner just wants to lift. all part of the fun but.

To help stop arm pump is to keep riding. its the only way to get your arms stronger. mine are bad but i think i have that carpet tunnel crap. Steering dampners works like one in a car, takes out the harsh whips in your steering. Also is your suspension setup properly. It is a bit of a mongrel to do but when u get the drift of how it works, u can set them up well. If im not racing me and some mates mite come out for a ride with you fellas.

There would be a few different parts of the Burdekin River you could probalby ride in with out upsetting anyone i often see a few bikes, quads and mx down there. You would just have to sus certain areas out first as there is abit of debris in some parts after the floods.
