St. George and area

chournos · 2012-01-27 08:46:43

Hey everyone, I'll be riding Friday, Saturday, Sunday and maybe a half day on Monday.
One day will be an "easy" trail day as we will be going into warner valley and checking out the dinosaur prints and Fort Pierce. Not sure which day yet.
Doing more crawling on the other days.

What days will everyone be here for? Are you all interested in the easy trail ride?

It's gonna be fun.

We have changed our dates slightly. We will arrive the morning of Friday.
Personally we would like to see the dino footprints and all else the area has to offer, so just lead Chournos and we will be right behind you!! :shock:
Sounds like a good time, can't wait.
As a side note we also got reservations at Days Inn in Hurricane, Ron, be good to see you and Mary again

We will arrive Thursday evening and ride Fri-Sat (maybe a little Sunday). Up for anything! Valley of Fire is always fun, but a little bit of a trek from St. George. I do want to get some crawling in to test out the new HCR suspension

What ever trails you decide on Lanse is fine with us. Also would like to see and do Valley of Fire. I hope some of the Kids can make it with you,;we havn't seen Aspen in a while. ronk Brad : What are you using for shocks with that HCR suspension ?

chournos · 2012-01-31 09:25:28

Here's a few shots of the new T-4 with fresh long travel from HCR.

Ron, I am going with the King shocks - same as Lanse's setup - with clickers I am getting new standard flares and new rocker plastic Thursday, will put it back together and post some photos.

so what are you going to do with your air shocks? why not use them over the kings?

slc1lxn · 2012-02-01 14:12:18

Cindy and I will be arriving in St. George probably Tuesday. Were up for riding any day from Wed through Monday except for Sunday. Give me a call

so what are you going to do with your air shocks? why not use them over the kings?

HCR took my old A-arms, axles and Legend shocks (compressor, gauges etc.) on trade and have them listed on ebay.

I liked the adjustability of the air shocks for ride height and also the ride in certain situations, but, I was dissapointed with the dampening across the range and also balance - I ride withour sway bar and it was tricky to keep the machine level. Another dispointment is bag failure - I lost a shock at the last Rally, which Legend replaced with one they had at the show (they are the best at standing behind their products). Riverdad lost one in Nov. and with no replacement and his machine setting on the ground, he packed up and went home :cry: If he would have been out on Hells Revenge when it lost air, he would have had a tough time getting it back to the trailhead. I think the only way I would be completely happy with them is if they were able to adjust the dampening as the spring rate (air preasure) changes. Also under constant action I felt like they suffer fade from heat - an external reservior would help. Also a contigency plan for limping your machine out in the case of an air bag failure.

The Kings have an external reservior (better cooling) and adjustable (clickers) dampening. I rode with Chournos and was surprised that I would have trouble on obstacles that he didn't and rode his RZR S with this setup and was blown away (especially in the Whoops). I will sacrifice the ride height for adjustable damping. Chournos runs them on the softest setting in the rocks, and can increase for sand, whoops, etc.

You guys all get the first look at the Wildcat King of the Hammers car. It should also be in St George for the Presidents Day ride.

slc1lxn · 2012-02-02 23:34:32

Sweet looking machine! Be interesting to see how it holds up on the King of the Hammers race!!

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2012-02-05 11:43:18

I cant wait to get out and ride!
