Great time with Dave (Hammertime) and his wife, Deandra. Good friends and great riding pard's. Thanks much to Dwight and Brad for showing us the Buford Flat-tops. It was a hoot guys, you rock! Definitely be back sometime!
Dave testing Dwights 2010 cat. Untouched pow EVERYWHERE...just a tip form uncle Bushy...Hit that chit Denver!
We tracked this up
Sidehilling the steep and deep Quakies all day was a blast
I got stuck once.. the rest were impacts with trees or on purpose.
our illustrious captain (note the knee raised!) teet's up. He does nothing half arse!
Deandra gettin it done!
Brad and Dwight, our "MONSTER" guides. Brad and Dwight had a MX accident which left Brad all messed up on the left side. Head on collision that put him in the hospital for a long time and he continues to fight for use of his arm and leg 4 years later. Stem cell therapy and the lot, to the tune of millions of dollars. He he owns an excavation company and runs a track hoe and the rest. Left hand barely grips the bar and left leg pretty messed up and numb, but he showed us what the human spirit can accomplish with enough determination. This guy is my hero! Incredible rider, that most two handed guys would not even touch, and I ain't $hittin ya. I looked on in awe from where I was stuck many times! How the F does this guy handle a sled with one arm so much better than most do with two??? Extrordinary!! Down he'd come to yank me out! 15 pound of pressure would yank his bum arm out of it's socket, but his right arm made up for it. Both, truly tough sob's making the most of life. I give it up for these guys; salt of the earth !
Best shot I got of Brad is his sled. He's earned that Monster decal!
Dwight reflecting...or just looking for his best old buddy.
End of the day and all fouled up with the first other group we'd seen all day....Dwight saw a track and decided to follow it down (been there). It led to a tangled snag of logs in a tight ravine with 80 % sopes on both sides we couldn't pass....but they tried! I knew this group of guys from guiding them on the ear's 3 years ago. Me alone in MC lot on a Monday morn and these guys show up...I say hey! wazzup fellers! Good riders, but in too deep... as were we by then! Best one on a yammi tripple. and he was ripping it up! Oh they sound sweet! We all rode out in the dark. That's Brad humping it up the gulley to help yank somebody out..
As you can see, I'm farthest down the gulley...and hence I win the contest for...well...Honestly I thought these guys had a plan and was just following, when I come upon the blockage and I pointed it up the wall and pinned it in hopes my un-stuck would be aided by gravitah..and it was
Vertical it was and didn't need no young bucks to get me out
If the drive up don't scare ya off...which it will...wellreally mmore the drive down that's freaky..I chained up the cummins + 5000 #'s so as not to careen down that glisade all out of control and glad I did. Met a few late comers that were hell bent on getting to the top in a hurry! Down-hillers must give way and that's that! Personally I think the uphill is the easy part! lol It was worth the drive and I'llbeback to that part of CO
Oh, I need a powder claw track! really saw where that track was superior.
