Some pics of Sand Hill for the LA/MS folks.
It's exactly 2 hours from Baton Rouge, so for us it's a hair closer than LA Dunes (Forest Hill) but much better.
Here are a few pics from thi past weekend....

I always thought you were just making a typo, but now i dont think so.

There is no such thing as a 22x8x8 hauler or any sand tire i know of for that matter.

22heightx11or 10widthx8 wheel.

................................................

Sheepless, which bike was the fastest out of all of those bikes?

What all is done to that trx?

Out of the few bikes pics I listed, the yellow black raptor (the last bike pic). The bike belongs to "trikeffex" here in the org.
I am not sure what was done to the trx...trikeffex might be able to let us know.

Craig from CP Customs has a stupid fast trx, he wasnt out there this weekend.

I cant remember actually...
Charles can tell us more.

I'm in a few of those pics...lol Yea, that place is amazing. We have a trip planned for next weekend out there...it's well worth the trip from New Orleans.

i ride with the ltr and i also have more time on the can-am than the owner. hahaha.

i am trying to plan a trip out to wiggins on the 13 and 14 of next month. if anyone is interested just let me know and we can make it happen.
Kip
Seth how does the LTR run compared to your new build? Raptor? Trx?

Whats all done to the Can Am and how do you like it?

-Kip
bayou boy
that can am isnt that fast. i was beating it pretty bad with only a hc stg 2 exhaust and filter on my '06. actually running the trx drag bike with the itps i was pretty much even. if he had better tires he would probably be faster. trikeffex has a pretty fast raptor but i think the black raptor was the fastest quad there
1fast450
I have not got a chance to run with the ltr yet. But everyone says that it will be a good run with him on the bottle and me on motor. But motor to motor I should pull away.

The canam is stock except the rossier intake and exhaust.

It needs to be regeared. Way too much torque down low. But other than that it is pretty sweet.

WOW, WTF.
I was told by smi that they were 22x8x8 medium lights.
and with the white writing it's read and still reads 22x8x8 but i want out there and measured them and it reads 22x9x8 ??????? wtf is that .
Kip
You have a picture of them from the rear? The sidewall actually says 22x9x8????

-Kip

the tires them selves are wide because there medium lights not the super lights.

r450er
Sweet pics and bikes..wish I had been there >.<..I hope to make the next trip just let me know.

That 450r with the ITp sand stars is a kid that goes to my school..he cant really ride and that bike has a local port job that ive never heard of in my life..with a stage 2 cam and 13.5 piston..might have intake dont know..but I beat it on my cam'd piped 450r.
dylan450r
yeah i had to miss that trip since my bike is still down but as soon as its ready i'll be out there. Its a 4hour ride for me, but its worth it if alot of bikes show up. So yeah watch out for the No Limit Racing yfz stockbore/stroke harhar.gif
dylan450r
heres a few pics from when we were out there...these guys were nuts..







1fast450

joebabic

thats right..the guy on the orange ktm was making a 500ft run. They sunk a raptor, said it happens..they flip upside down and float to the top. drain the oil and run it again. nuts!
Gumby
WOW, that is a really long pond!!

I am reminded of the old Huevos video where the guy tries doing that on a banshee I believe. It might even be Huevos 2! Wow, old school.

We have some guys that water skip all the time. It's cool to see but you won't catch me doing it!
1fast450
they have a bunch of big bikes going on the 31st of this month i believe, get with trikeffex. i think craig is breaking out the 600 for that weekend.

i am trying to get a few people to go on the 13th and 14th of next month to break my sand cherry. i have never been in the sand and i can't wait. i am going to try to wrestle my bike with a stock swinger with some 9 paddle extremes and see what happens. i may have to put the +4 back on. hahaha

according to charles id say youd be fine ..especially since your a good rider you should be able to keep it down. He said i would need to lower the psi in my 10 pdl haulers and u got a little more spinning power than me and only 1 more paddle about. Id throw the 4 on there tho..it would help alot.
bayou boy
i could bring a hydro slide and those guys could tow us across the pond. wish we could go the 31st 1st weekend but we are taking our daughter to monster jam saturday and grinding deer on the 1st. maybe the second weekend in feb we may go.
nolabuckeye
I dont know if anyone else will.....but I will be there this saturday..
trikeffex
Yep we will be there on the 31st with some nice builds.I will spray my 565 for the 1st time put there as well.I just hope I can hook.damn 14extremes don't hook for crap.

Are those steet bike tires on the Can Am?

They look like michelin macadams, I think is what they are called. dual sport street bike tire. Weird I've never seen anything like that on a quad before.


anyone have videos of them running on top of the lake? that is NUTS I never even thought that could be possible.
1fast450
the tires on the canam are scooter tires. and you can find vids on youtube, just look up sandhill water skimming.
