KUMA Adventure Thread!

I'd agree that this pic is one of the best ones you've taken! It makes me think of something climbing out of a pit/hole like a transformer or soemthing (Don't judge me, I'm a Transformers nerd )

Great photography! Not to get off topic.... Have you been on Strike Ravine before? I am registered for that on Wednesday. I am wondering how rough that trail is.

[KUMA]

Thanks guys, and no I haven't ran Strike Ravine. Apparently from my understanding it's the only trail in BFE that is not black so we opted to take the chance for it! I hope it's awesome, I know that someone will have to scope it out before hand to see what trail leading it might be like so I guess we will see. But where it's listed as I believe a green or blue you will be fine if you have sliders and air down :P

Okay let's do this! Starting with Day#1 - Top of the World Trail (My favorite trail)

Getting ready to start our day, as we sit next to dewey bridge. (Sorry forgot pictures of the bridges because I have photographed it before)


As I was inspecting the rigs spotted this nice shiner... Sucks it happened when someone I will let remain nameless backed in to him with his door open


Good looking first gen, they are starting to become a little bit rare around these trails :P


Fronty's stick as a pack


Nick rolling right along...


And my tail gunner Mr. Nick!


We took a brief moment, and yes this is not even half the trucks in the picture :P


So found a little fun spot where people take the right line they could go 3 wheeling however nothing big, some just missed the rock just barely


Showcasing


Here is an example of what a unlocked X looks like just in case your wondering, but a great shot from bud!


Sadly many of my best shots where the front tire came up were too over exposed that I couldn't save them so you guys will just have to be satisfied with these shots... sorry


Now we meet the only truly difficult spot but take the right line and hug the wall and you will be fine. Here Don shows us his Jeep's long wheel base as he made it up with no spotter :P


Spin those tires!


One of the cleaner ones


Those wheels look pretty nice with that tire!


Check out the back passenger tire


Pretty swell Ad shot


Alright last one, then I will give it a few more days before I post the remaining pics for this day Great action shot with the dirt flying!

Some seriously great photo's in here! All the rigs look awesome and seems like a solid group to off road with.

Alright school and work full time, plus a month sick is getting the best of me! Not to mention I am literally watching tutorials while working in photoshop, lightroom and premiere all at the same time :S I need a break haha but we have 69 days until goneMOAB 2013! So let me get back in to it again...

Mr. Nick made it look easiest in my opinion




Great shot of Amber's X driven by Scott with back tire in the hole...


One by one they climbed


Little 3 wheel action


got moab?


My twin on the trail


Shortly after this shot the front tow hook fell off 3x of us pushed his back and repositioned Joe for another shot


Taylor kicking up the dust with that bright red princess


I do have to say I think someone should mold a custom grill like that looks oem...




Nick finally got the chance to mess with his locker though he hardly needed it...


Finally we arrived at the top and crowded the whole place!


The overlook, my favorite lunch spot


Vast area, I can't wait to get some shots of this with the new camera!


The fronty club had to pose, too bad I don't have a side shot


I like the sticker Mel


As the last few took their turns getting on the cliffs edge I worked my way back to the pack!


As Amber was walking by the side of my X I quickly spotted a "kuma lizard" (as someone else put it), little dude let me get a foot away while taking a pic, you should see the full resolution of this shot you can see all the texture and detail on his skin.


Slowly we made our way back down throw the boulder field (they are small boulders)


Took a quick stop wait for everyone to catch up...


I'll stop there and post the rest on Wednesday night. Also since I am posting these on 3 different forums due to a few request from friends I am probably going to do the next set different pictures on each of the 3 forums :P Anyone object?
