Sweet! Nice pose on that rock.
I did that today on our lunch break at the end of the trail run up Spring Creek near Downyville (photos/videos coming soon to Sandi's site)....it was a bit hairy at one point, because I wasn't sure that I wasn't going to end up on my side....large rock under right front and large, gaping hole under left front..hahaha....of course, it always feels worse when you're inside and not quite as used to it....didn't look so mean from outside....although I needed help getting out to make sure I didn't smash my door on the ground.

Looking forward to your report from today.....so, how'd it go out there this time around?

That is correct. You would have to play around with the air pressures to find out what would and wouldn't work. Did you all have a good trip today?

Funny thing, Aired down to 20 today and at some point while running an obsticle I heard "Hey Piper, what did you air down to?" I resonded "20 why?" response "your sidewalls look to stiff" Then the spotter chimed in with his .02 "Ah, BFG's 3-ply sidewall"

True, These are not rock crawling tires but IMO, they do the best job of the "all terrain's" that are out there.

So, I posted some pics and for what it's worth, I will try 18 psi next time.

I had mine at 12 psi. Gripped better then 15, but still not too much flex. 4 ply sidewalls are stiff!

Ok, cool. I'll do that when the time comes.

Yesterday = Yes, indeed. Oh my. Just wait till you see the pics and vids.
Soem have already posted on the trail run thread, but I don't have mine up yet....probably tonight.

Cool. Thanks a lot for the update.
Sorry, but pics posted where (I know, I probably missed something - maybe in an earlier post, but I'm lazy at the moment)? :P

FYI,
I aired down to 25 PSI for our Spring Creek trail run yesterday near Downieville, CO, and that worked out just fine.
