JSLICK VOODOO Review

Hey im sure i posted in this thread previously, but i must have just thought i did.... However thanks for the write up and pics. Ive used them for some inspiration and tested mine breifly this arvo and im very happy.
 
I really like the flat smooth sidewalls of the VOODOO.
The little pins on the edge give a little bit of sidewall grip.

In these pics and video, unclapped tires have had a difficult time running this line because the sidewall tread would spin the rig back and down.

Here is a little goofing around, I really like having a light rig, I'll get some more sidehill action soon.

Nice pics, I was up at st. Petes the other night learning how to crawl, I try to make it up there once a week and practice.
 
Aw man ... I thought you had video of side hilling. I was looking forward to it :mrgreen:

It is hard to tell from the last video but after the launch up that is a pretty wicked sidehill. It is tough to tell from the camera angle. I have several good places to shoot some sidehill action."thumbsup"

I was just messing with you ;-)

That is however one area I am lacking footage."thumbsup" I have a comp on the 26th with the Jersey club GSRCRC. I'll get some live action footage then.

Like I said in the tall tire /short tire debate, they are a tool in my tool box. I'll have them and I intend to run them. If need be I have my other set of tride and true tires that I know work there. The rocks are similar the St. Peters so it should be all good.

You Pot stirrer :roll:
 
You said TOOL :lmao: I know what you mean, it's nice to have options to different terrain. I just place my order for foams with lots of tuning options to see what works for me.

It has been raining here quite a bit. I have to say that my setup that I am currently running in the VOODOO does not like wet conditions at all. When it is dry no issues, wet lichen covered rocks, I had a very tough time.
 
Very well planned and informative write up and video evidence of how the Ottsix Voodoo tires perform, as you said, " another tool in the arsenal " . It would be very hard to make one tire do it all, but to have a few for most conditions is were you can separate the drivers that " put in work " and make it all happen when it counts. Great job on this BTW "thumbsup" "thumbsup" and I do envy you having that in your back yard, awesome! :flipoff: :lmao:
 
OK, like I said the wet conditions I ran in the other day were tough. I got home and cleaned up the GOLD ultrasoft tires and Blue and this is what I found.

Understand that the pictures are not from normal wear, it was me beating the snot out of them, spinning hard on wet lichen covered rock.



Time to flip the tire direction.

I put a real hurting on the GOLDS, the BLUES held up fine in the rear.

I think I left burnout marks on several rocks. :twisted: I wil have to take an exacto knife and split the lugs. I was quite bummed when I saw the damage I did. I want to get some silver and give them a go.


Here is a short video of the rocks at St. Peter's the other day.

I ran them yesterday on my practice pile at home, I switched the tire direction on my abused fronts ULTRA SOFT GOLD and split the three center rows of pins with a exacto blade. They are still hooking up very well, I was pleasantly suprised. "thumbsup"​
 
split pins work very very well in general. I use 5.5" foams on wet rock...but it never rains here:mrgreen: so I haven't had much time on the wet stuff. I have over 20 hrs on one of my gold sets and they're still hanging in there.
