haha for the first half of those videos i thought you were crawling on a flat patio! I was like WTF is hard about that?! Then i saw your rig tumble and realized that it was just the camera angle making it look flat!

Very nice my friend! Yeah, I saw your pictures first. Camera angles can make things look very deceptive.

great vids! That place is deceptively steep. But still my favorite place to comp. Looks like you are really getting your rig dialed in

So did you like the sedonas or the claws better?

not sure lol. there are some places where i think you can see the sedona hooking better and other places the claws hooked better. if i go there ill probably run the claws simply cause it super steep and they are a little shorter so that extra bit of stability helps.

another reason i would run the claws is cause the only gate i hit was my mistake. nothing the tires did. the sedonas little bit of extra height made gate 7 extra technical. i had to be much more precise with tire placement than i did with the claws so
