That was such a fun morning, its crazy how much ground you can cover out there when you are having fun with your friends🤙 . Sorry for all that roost next time you will need to lead more and I will eat more of those, "sand-whiches!" 😁. It looks like you had a blast ripping through all those old southern live oaks and Florida pines and we even got to blaze some of our own trails on the way back! Awesome riding with you Pete cannot wait to do it again in the near future. Ideally, I need to make it up your neck of the woods at some point!

This ride was epic man, that place is so big so I was super excited to follow you on your local routes! No worries on the roost man, I put myself in those situation's by choice 😅 Going through the oaks and pines was awesome, it's so fun to have so many options and sight lines! I definitely can't wait to come back and see more of what Florida has to offer! Your always welcome for a MN ride weekend 🤘

@PeteHager

Жыл бұрын

paddles would be fun in the super sandy areas but you would chew them up on random whoops and dirt sections within the park. I would recommend any nobbies you prefer! Some whoops get deep so I would steer clear of 18 inch rear tires and go with a least a 20 👍

Try a mako 360 bar clamp riding will change forever especially with a steering stabilizer

Pete I just went to croom today for the first time and I loved it the only part that sucked was that my 400ex broke down and it wouldn’t turn on maybe a spark issue bc it would turn on after charging up the battery and then as soon as you would start riding it would shut off but otherwise I was able to ride my father 450 ktm and man those whoops will having you like a venting dog, then we got lost and it was pain bc those dirbikes aren’t really meant for two especially with all this sand

This is in Brooksville Florida?! If so I’m taking my yfz out there tomorrow morning 😁

I love Yamaha and all their sport quads, besides raptor 660, I mean i own a warrior 350 2004, but they're just pretty heavy compared to honda or can am, Yamaha yfz is 405lb and a can am DS is 350lb, its not a huge difference but for me being a small guy noticeable

Hey Pete, what's your thoughts on this ride you did on the YFZ vs on the Raptor. Plus/Minuses of each?

@PeteHager

2 жыл бұрын

This place is much better suited for the YFZ than the Raptor. The Raptor is awesome for smooth, fast trail. Plus it has excellent torque for climbs and drag racing. Croom has very active terrain and the ergonomics and lower center of gravity that the YFZ has is much more safe and practical in that type of environment. I only grabbed 4th gear a couple times that day. If you plan to jump, ride lots of whoops, or rip lots of berms the YFZ is going to be the better tool for the job 👍
