I’m simply just still trying to get my use out of it to justify how much money and time I spent to have it. Starting to get close to balancing back out

Glad we were able to run into each other in the dunes the other day. It definitely is working well! I can’t wait for the off season to make some more changes to make it even better!
Dunes this weekend. Last big event weekend people flood into town for (Sat in line for 2 hours to get in) Now 2 months of dunes to myself before they close for the season 
On a busy weekend that truck has to be like a shark in a goldfish pond. Are you checking up constantly because of all the traffic?
Keep at it, the progress of how the truck works is amazing.

If I go when it’s busy it’s usually to just see friends that are up for the weekend because it Definitely gets too busy to drive the truck how I like to.
Papa Smurf definitely works well in silver lake dunes. I have quite a bit more seat time and tuning time in the dunes then most people get there whole lifetime coming up here
Even though the truck does work well I still have several more things I plan to do that I know will make it better. Just comes down to needing the money to get the things I need to make the changes.
I think at the moment the truck is working at 60% of what it is going to be capable of. The plan is to make some changes to the truck this winter.

Video is on my fb and insta. Have gotten a lot of wind in the last week and it’s shaping test hill into a booter. Hoping it can keep growing.

So do you sing to yourself "I believe I can fly" as you approach that hill? Amazing.
Our Co driver used to sing that going over 4 foot whoops at 105mph
Nate your living the dream, hope your coming out this way again. Rage?
Not this year. Moving to the new house we are looking to finish renovations this winter.Our Co driver used to sing that going over 4 foot whoops at 105mph

Also before I head west again I’d like to have bypasses for the front. And the turbo setup on the truck. If the house doesn’t cost too much hoping to overhaul the truck this winter and get it to the next level.
Maybe by then I might be able to semi catch up
Dunes are sick right now. Jumps everywhere from all the fall winds.
450 acres of sand all to myself lately. 20 more days of the season before starting winter upgrades.
That pic is definitely getting around
Some of the comments on those posts are hilarious

Fun little jump from Saturday. You can see in a few of the pictures, I was landing nose heavy because the transition was really bad. I got out and move some sand with my feet for about 5 minutes and made the transition to where I could get the truck landing on all 4 which you can see in a few of the pics as well.
pretty crazy how in tune I am with this machine
