  • In this episode Mike (XDS Mav), Rick (XRS Mav) and Nick (Wildcat 1000) ride the St. Helen ORV Routes in St. Helen Michigan.
    We do a little drag racing against a 900S and a Maverick XDS Turbo, then do some icy water bashing, and then round off the day with blowing a ball joint in the middle of nowhere.
    We learn a lesson to always carry small ratchet straps, and never ride alone!

    Reminiscing in 2024. Currently laughing my ass off in my seat. Break downs are the worst but can hold some of the best memories!

    Great clip of the whoop trail next to the tracks, you can really see the suspension work. Awesome you caught your buddy going thru the big puddle on it. I have used that whoop section next to the tracks in a few of my videos, very recognizable. Nice work.

    I carry tools and extra balljoints for the Wildcat Trail……All Balls spares….LOL. Cool video, looks more fun than the silver lake dunes.

    • @SXSBlog
      @SXSBlog  Před 8 lety

      +David c Oh no! Not All Balls! hahahahaaha. And yeah St. Helen is pretty fun! The dunes are probably less fun to ride, but there is so many crazy people there it's hard to beat.

    I don't know how you can stand that exhaust on the wildcat. Both of mine had an exhaust and I couldn't go riding without getting a headache.
    Enjoying these riding vids!

    • @SXSBlog
      @SXSBlog  Před 8 lety

  • @nickvasquez8054
    @nickvasquez8054 Před 7 lety

    What is the name of the road you're filming on at 5:57? looks like a great area (whooped out) to shoot suspension tuning videos on UTVs and prerunner trucks.

    • @SXSBlog
      @SXSBlog  Před 7 lety +1

      Nick Vasquez I think it's called airport road in St Helen michigan. We're planning some additional footage in that area this summer.

  • @themfknightrider420
    @themfknightrider420 Před 8 lety +1

    why didnt you just tow it with other sxs just pick the front end up and back other sxs under it. and strap it down

  • @EricFB
    @EricFB Před 8 lety

    This a common problem or a fluke? did it have a lot of play before it failed?

    • @SXSBlog
      @SXSBlog  Před 8 lety

      +Eric B Total fluke I believe. The joint broke in half whereas they normally pull apart if they're badly worn. These had about 500 miles on them.
