KUMA Adventure Thread!

Great pics as always Kuma! The only problem now is I'm not only looking forward to pictures of the awesome Xs, I want to see the raptor in action!

[scott-bc]

Love the pictures. Nice about that place its clean, no mud. Rock driving would be fun!

[KUMA]

Thanks guys and I will resume now... and Xearth I will have a picture for you later

As we moved on Terry decided to try his hand at a nice climb, which we watch him use his locker on if I remember right...


Then it was Ron's turn, spinning the tires


As he got up and stopped I noticed something...


Amber waiting for me to catch up


Finally arrived at the waterfall where Terry went ahead headed his way up


Justin waiting at the bottom for his turn


Amber working her way up


Then on the final climb, the fun part


Next around the corner we start the next climb in a nice little small canyon


After which we come to the fun part full of some nice big ruts which Ron took a nice few minutes working on getting through and re-positioning himself


But at last he did make it


Working our way forward


Finally at the V notch which we watched Terry attempt first, no he did not go 3 wheels like all the famous pictures. Ron was a little too good at spotting him :P


Looking back while we are waiting at the V notch


While we were waiting we watched a little razer do it's thing


As it was getting late we decided to turn around and head back letting Terry and Ron do there thing. We didn't want to headback down in the dark


This picture is priceless and probably the best of the week :P


Justin full lock


I love that Titan stance, I don't think anyone can argue with me


I swear he drove this way half the week


My all time favorite pic of the day though (Yes I know there is quite a bit of vignetting)


Then she hit 3 wheels


That concludes our pre-event run for Poison Spyder Mesa, next up pre-event Seven Mile Rim!

Xearth here you go this so far is the only time it has touched dirt! We did a quick run mostly because christmas was the next week and we had a winch install to get done

That sunshine really looks nice right now. My xterra is covered in a thick layer of ice. I put my rear Shrock bumper on a couple of weeks ago and I don't know what it looks like without snow and ice on it.

As usual, Great pics!
keepum flowing!

[KUMA]

Thanks guys, and yeah I know the feeling. I got my sliders on my first blue Xterra and the same week it snowed, I didn't even know if they were the same color until spring...

Alright lets post up some more pics... If your like me you like shiny things... here is Amber's shackles


Now that it's winter and I look back at this it makes me miss the colors of spring... I can't wait for it to come back!


Nicks trail list (remember this is pre-goneMOAB)


Nice lights


Sharp view while we waited for everyone to gas up


I should point out a few of these pictures were edited a little too much, so excuse the bad colors, hue and saturation, this is where we stopped for a brief second


Shi sure looks happy :P


My X, sure glad I got that bumper fixed and re-powdercoated


Came to our first little drop, it's tiny but depending upon your angle and if your IFS you usually hit 3 wheels(you will see later in the week)



Justin coming down


Amber


This next area doesn't look anything big but usually you high center for a brief second


After you go down one more little drop


Even a titan swap taps


Climbing the steps


Mr. Nick looking like a BA


Justin's turn, he decided to try the middle line


Spinning the wheels he couldn't get the traction


Attempt number two, he moved over to left hand side after. Later in the week he attempted it again


Scott/Amber's turn


As you can probably all guess, this is not only the easier side but that we had to be careful as we didn't want to break our trucks before the event even started


Were about half way through, nothing too special about these pics but the next few I think you guys might like so I will save those for later in the week.

Nice pics man. I finally come back to CX for the first time in forever and I imediately searched for this thread lol

[xearth]

All the pics look great, as always! And I appreciate a couple shots of the raptor in there, especially in action

[KUMA]

Thanks guys and here are some more for you to enjoy!

Lets resume, next up on Seven Mile I opted to do the crack which is a like a small version of the crack on golden spike, I dont have pictures but Amber does. However here is my damage for the week


Next Scott takes Ambers X through it!


Yes that is some good 3 wheel action!


Better angle


One of my other favorite pics and a great one if you ask me


Next a short lunch break before hitting up wipe out hill


Our crew, from left to right Scott, Amber, Shiloh, Nick, Justin and Tammy


Threw the small squeeze (it's not very narrow but people still get freaked out)


Slightly off center is wipe out hill


Nick was the only one man enough to attempt it, and I am on the left guiding him down




Half way threw the first drop


At the bottom! And I can take a nice relaxing break on the rocks


Ready to come back up!


He was literally 3 inches from being either perfect or in a complete disaster, just grabbed him and we took a few more attempts.


Attempt number 2


After a second we realized his X was overheating so we let it cool off and talked it over, we just didnt want to risk his truck before gone had even started...


We decided to use a rope and just pull it ourselves (no truck) incase he started leaning back again, and he made it up no problem! No pic of that sorry


After a nice little disaster where the trail gave away beneath me on what I thought was the bypass we continued on and her is nick taking the route I would take the rest of the trucks down later that week.


Well next up Top of the World and the official day first day of goneMOAB!
