Hey guys, Saw the link in Slim's profile, and thought I'd say "Hi". I'm glad I have an easy way to reach most of you now. The board looks good......keep it up. I've been busy working on new trails for the last few months, mainly in the Shawnigan area. Wipeout was my doing, and I have a few more up my sleeve. The latest one is the Foxhole. Brooksy and I ran the trail for the first time last Saturday. It's a blast! The winches were busy on this narly trail. We both left a lot of paint behind, and have a few new battle scars.        If any of you want to check it out, let me know. I asked Jim to tell you guys about it, and maybe arrange a date to go run it. The more rigs the better! |

I rode ShotGun with Chris when IRC ran Wipe-out, Great trail ,, nice and back to back challenges,
do u think Foxhole is a harder trail?
I guess ...that would make it the hardest trail on the lower island ,,?
what do others think is the hardest trail on the lower island ?

I would say this trail is a little harder than wipeout, tighter for sure. Lots of fun, I would definatally run it again in the future. Maybe in a couple of weeks? |

How is the entrance to the trail? Still pretty nasty.  It's way easier than when we went through, but you'll still take lots of damage if you're not careful. |

Exo will be helpful, but it you get offline, you'll still smash up body panels. We had 3 Exo Toy trucks on the last run, and all 3 broke glass and/or dented body panels (doors mainly). I pushed my Jeep up it, windshield folded down, no exo, and only took a few scrapes and dents here and there. However, that was before the new sections at the top had been opened up. |
