Rich, I know you are man, and no harm done... Not trying to be the downer over here. HA! I just wanted to say it for the record ya know... Like I say, we typically get people through the trails without any damage. >;-)~




Regarding Spike... There are few to no spots left, and Grandpa Bob, and Swordy should do very well. The VX has a short overhang which is the opposite of what rips bumpers off.

Fernando was winched out last year after messing around, went through foraward without incident. When he tried to go through in reverse was when he got a bit too tipsy and needed the winch.

Otherwise a good trail to play on, but realize it is LONG.. 3 trails in one as a matter of fact.
Poison Spider Mesa
Golden Spike
Gold Bar Rim (backwards)

Most VXs I know dont run big enough to tackle the Spike yet... but there are getting bigger every year, just like the rest of the 'Zus.
