Just a question...
but I have seen a lot of paddle tires that really toss up the sand even when just cruising on the beach at slow speeds.....
I guess I should have paid more attention to the style.....but its hard to read those side labels when they are moving...LOL
at any rate..... usually a cupped paddle, like a Skat Extreme, will toss up a lot of sand when on the throttle..... but ive seen a lot of odd ball paddles that really toss the sand...and I thought about getting some just for the fun of it....plus my son thinks he can beat at this game...lol....
so, for those of you who have noticed..... what paddle tires toss up the most sand.... I know my brats are relatively mild in comparison to some others........usually the least amount of paddles, with the most aggressive or 'cupped' design wins... but I was just curious.... like a Gecko or Turbo paddle, etc....
I have seen some work down 7 paddle haulers really throw sand.
A really flat tire will throw a lot also.

If you want to throw sand definitely buy the haulers it's the only way to go or any straight paddle stay away from the v style. The only problem with the straight paddle is that there not as maneuverable as the v style but you will definitely be throwing sand!

I would have to say an extreme paddle on a 10 inch rim would throw a heck of a roost. The flat profile would defintely aid in getting the sand up in the air. Prolly a 20x10x10 with 8+ paddles. My buddies raptor with 20x10x10, 7 paddle haulers throws a pretty good roost. He's got some major HP and TQ though.....lol

my 20/10/10 9 paddle extremes throw a pretty good roost, I know that sand stars just cruising kick up quite a bit, they are a V paddle, but they do move quite a bit of sand. I can't wait to try out my new 21/12/8 8 paddle haulers, see what they will do.

hands down,tallerhaulers or the biggest roost throwing tire on the planet. im not sure but the name tallerhauler might be diffrent now.the y might call it something else. i had a cr500 converted to a threewheeler that had 22inch tallerhaulers on it, and the bike on flat ground would jump all three tires off the ground for about a foot,it was cool to see,the bike tip't the scales at 197pounds, with 75hp, so it was waaaaaay faster than my 1300pound trx450'''lol
