Exploring the Nemadji State Forest

In todays video I finally made it up to the Namadji State Forest. This park is supposed to have over 100 miles of trails and we barely scratched the surface! I had a ton of fun riding with my buddy Dusty. I can't wait to go back to see what else this place has to offer!

Great Video as always! I noticed you tried to pull up over a few puddles and there was a lot of wheel spin in the slick mud preventing you from pulling up the way you wanted. How do you feel the OBORs performed in that slick mud? I know a lot of the wheel spin is that 60HP the raptor is making 🤣 just curious because I am running a set on my YFZ and can't wait to test them out!

Actually what threw me off a few times was that gear ratio with the 15 tooth. I had a few moments where I was tapped in 2nd or dogging in 3rd. I’d stab the throttle in 3rd for a puddle but it would chug a bit and not pick up the RPM fast enough. Overall I do like the Obors more than the XC masters but my more expensive GNCC tires have performed the best out of everything I’ve tried so far! I’m looking forward to your opinion on the obors! 🤘😁

Hey Trevor. I've enjoyed these new Obor Advent's I'm running and they're pretty budget friendly. I'd say the most popular budget tire that is super durable would be the GBC XC Masters.

@PeteHager

I've seen a few riders over the years running them without the baffle. It would probably be okay for awhile but it technically will alter your air fuel ratio and it could cause premature engine wear overtime. If you want a better sound I would look into a slip on exhaust by HMF or Yoshimura. You could pair that with a HMF fuel controller to make sure your machine doesn't run too lean. That set up would save you a few hundred dollars over a full exhaust 👍

@PeteHager

Hey Andrew, the trailer is 16ft long by 7 wide by 7 tall. Excluding the V the rectangle is 14x7. We often put 3 quads in there broadside. The Raptor is about 6 feet long and is probably the hardest one to put sideways but you just gotta muscle it. The whole trailer is 21 feet long including the tongue. We figured it would be a comfortable size for a half ton truck. If I could change anything I would make it wider. My my next one will probably be 24x8.5x7 if I upgrade our travel truck to a 3/4 or 1 ton 👍

Hey Pete, and all of KZread land, i need some help, I'm 16, 5,11 and 135lbs, and am looking for my first sport quad. I've ridden a rancher 350 4x4 almost all my life and have recently maxed out its capabilities, lol. I've been searching through market place and found a couple 400ex's, but i also found a 2014 Honda trx450r up for 1,200. It needs a starter clutch and some other little stuff, but I'm all for learning how to work on these machines. My biggest question is does the 450r have to much power and race ergonomics for a beginner? The 400ex's are in decent shape, they need some carb work, but the 450r looks so nice and is just a little more cool and a 400ex, lol
