crap that was close at the top. Shows what a bad course or a really good one can do.

Course 30 must have been hard for everyone 80 > 100 except Brent Ward with 0.

ah skid, man of few words....

bloody good, dont seem to slide off the sidlings as badly, climb well, good on dirt and grass, not so flash in big bogs compared to the mudzilla but need to use bigger a gear worth the change over, about the 6th hazard i told skid i like em, just feel more stable

Cheers

You don't know of any similar tyres floating around???

Think time to upgrade from my old Kumho's as they have well and truely lost their sharp edges.

Kind of hoping there might be some sets floating around that aren't good enough for the top boys but fine for the bums like me.

Other thing will be trying to sell if I can sell my old powerguards which would be awesome for a club truck.

going by the reaction i got when i rocked up with these there is little chance of another set, if there is they will be well and truly buggered for trials, before these came along i was angling towards trepadores, or wranglers

Justphotos is Gail's son's website, but I think the pics are a mix of those taken by both Gail and her son (sorry can't remember his name) - both pretty good with a camera tho!

Nice sequence of 9 pics of my roll on 17 (ripped tyre out of beadlock in the process, even tho it was only a 1 & 1/5 times over...). But I've got nothing on Nathan Fogden's roll on 19 - Blue and yellow E class Zuk rollng about 5 times down the valley...

Is everyone else able to view Gail's pic's , they do not display centered on the screen , so I only see to left 1/4 . First Two are ok . Can seem to move them either . Buuger it .

I was real surprised with the tires run at the comp.

No where near as aggressive as I had thought they would be.

I thought everyone would be running simex's or would they have come out if it was more muddy?
