Sorry took a few days to get the videos uploaded... Had a pretty great time up in St Helens at the Hilltop Hangover Run. Group was expecting about 200 rigs. They had about 100. 100 was perfect for that area as any more would have clogged things up. This event was held on private property with about 30 acres available to explore. Mostly trees with slick trails crossing and climbing throughout the property. Not a huge area but fun enough. I would recommend this area for future events of this size group.
Terrain was good. all on a side hill. flat trailer parking worked good. Great Food trailer and fire pit about 60 feet from a pretty good mut pit with a bump in on each side. Kept spectators entertained all day. I didn't try the pit as I was pretty sure I wouldn't make it through.. ( don't hate me ). I has happy with how my Blazer did on the hills and trails and didn't want to damper my success.
Was my first event with the Suburban towing the Blazer and the Suburban towed real good. I think I will be happy with it for its purpose.
Next are a few videos.. plus feel free to go into my photobucket album and view like 15 vids I have uploaded. Most are only a minute long.
