I headed out the other evening after work to hunt down some new lanes for the next Muddy Puddle Run.

I found the one I was looking for but it turned out to be a little slippery.

In this video;

* Muddy puddles,
* Pissed off farmer
* I find the lane I was looking for and got more than I bargained for!
* I fall off, twice
* I chicken out of a huge puddle.
* I make a bad move and have to negotiate a trench.

With your trench at the end, its bad to tell how big it is but...

roll up to it failry slowly, as you come up to the edge bounce your suspension down and as it rises back up blip the throttle to float the front end across it, the back end will follow but drop a little into it. Takes a bit of confidence at first but do the same trench a few times to get used to it and before long you'll be jumping all kinds of things.

Hope you don't mind the advice Thumbs Up

Hi. I use the Drift HD170 Thumbs Up

Yes its a DR350 (390) Kickstart only. Just about to buy a DR-Z400SM with all the kit to turn it into a dirt monster. Weight is not a problem for me. I need to build more muscles Twisted Evil

It was about 3 ft deep. Hard to see it on the camera.

Thanks for the advice. I might have to go back and try that although i'm not sure what the girlie laugh would end up being like:)

It's not the depth so much as the width, as long as your going forward and your front wheel clears the edge the back will follow, start small and work up to bigger ones. It's a usefull trick to have.
