I was at the trails Sunday. The local trails I ride are very tight and not very wide, so you don't get to open the quad up very much. I finally made my way to the bottom of the river valley where there is a wide open, flat area, so I wasted no time to let the XX scream down the valley. As I hit 5th gear, I noticed a bunch of wide holes that water sits in front of me. They were really hard to see so I didn't notice them until I had no time to slow down. Imagine side by side whoops spread out straight in front of me and to all sides. All I had time to do is let off the gas and hold on. I couldn't believe how the IRS soaked them up. It was a bit of a rush as I was jumping from one to the other. I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to hit those with SRA at that speed.

It would have been:

"Pitch left...pitch right..."

Oh, I forgot to tell you guys that I got a new 6 gear tranny in the XX.

Ya, I don't know what I was thinking. I meant 5th gear of course.
