    This is my first try posting with photos, if I screw up just go ahead and woop on me. I allready pretty sore from the ride, the mud is a work out.

    Joey and I went to test the Mud New years eve day. The mud was fun but it was like snot. one hill We went down I knew I was in trouble. Should have just kept going down but i didnt know where it went. We are gonna try again when it drys up. It was fun though and the sun cam out for a while, this is why we do it.

    First hill was ok, I hit a stick on the way up and dumped it, thats 1

    I then went down, thats where I got stupid it was so like snot when i decided i might not be able to go up we turned around. The quad did fine, it likes mud. The KTM tires filled with mud and slip, slide, and fall is what i did up the hill. After about 3 or 4 falls I was too pooped to go so Joey pushed it up the hill for me. He said Gimmie my quad back. Thanks Joey

    On the way back we had to do one last mud hole, the one behind is about 18" deep and it knocked my feet off the pegs and I was full throttle with my legs following behind. I was way suprized i made it. Joey saw me hit it so he went full throttle and the water just went over him so he was soaked but the smile on his face tells the story for the day.

    We mix it up a bit in south Alabama when the 4 wheeler dudes let us tag along. They know some pretty interesting places and its fun to watch them tear up their machines in the deep mud that we skirt the edges and avoid if possible. I don`t like 4 wheelers and they don`t like dirt bikes, but we tolerate each other and have fun anyway.
    Great first report!

    Hey, Jerry. I'm on West D Street North, just up the street from Silveyville School.
    I can usually be found at Bud's on Fridays after work.
    I've been up to Knoxville once. I was by myself, and those sketchy looking guys in the trailers by the fence made it kinda spooky.
    Definitely up for some riding.
