such a proud moment for a little zuk.... ( shame it didnt quite get it fully out, but im sure you dislodged it )
I also got a few chances to try out the new MAXTRAX while playing in costa, we tried them 1st on a little zuk that was stuck in a rut or 2, and once we positioned them in the right spot it was away... then I got the cruiser well stuck in a deep rut, so i placed one under the offending wheel/hole and it enabled me to climb out of it no worries!! they are a great addtion to take along if you cant self recover!!!
Euan, thats a shamless plug for your companies products!!
I love it! good stuff
But seriously, the Maxtrax worked really well, once the tire gets the smallest bite on them, your away. Dunno about the $500 price tag tho....mebbe we need a NZ manufacturer, with a little less margin added on

I have a few pics to upload maybe tomorow :)
