There is a mud hole contest at this same place every year. I am thinking about giving it a go next year on the Alta, may need to bring some scuba gear though

ALTA with a paddle tire! Definitely need pictures.

Bought another set of AER48's, just need to find another shock. Time to convert the EXR over to an exact copy of my MXR so i can have 2 moto bikes to shred. Ride one while the other is charging. Gonna keep the horn on the EXR though, to use when riders are in my way.

Lately i've been bringing my KX450 to the track with me to use while the MXR is recharging, but its just nowhere near as pleasant of a riding experience as riding the Altas. These bikes really spoil ya.

Out of interest how much are AER 48 forks going for.

Got mine on ebay for about $700 with tax and shipping, but they range from 600-1000 depending on the condition and what kind of work is done to them.

This is the only tangable photo I have that may convert how deep it was

Haha, heck, that’s just normal buildup. Those things are mud traps! Let it go long enough and it will probably develop its own ecosystem

Agreed, that is no proof at all. Need pictures!

Fair fair. I did clean this before I went riding that weekend as I thought I was done for the season but I agree ha.

Aw, c'mon now! It does look like a puddle mud rather than something that you'd cause with a pressure washer. I believe it.

But yeah, @Matt should still get into that mud pit again and take more pictures and a video!

I believe him, just shaming him to get pictures and video because I'm too scared to try it myself.

If the horn doesn't get them out of the way, blind them with the high-beams!

Sloppy mess. We had some of that during the 24hr down here...but that was significantly more water.

It was insane. The lap after this one was so much worse and then it got called like 25 minutes later. Check out this part of the course. I had to ride through this on the next lap I wish so badly I had it on camera. Notice the upside down bike at the beginning. There was like 20 flooded bikes that had to get pulled back to the pits.

Wow… I enjoyed watching all of that from my nice dry chair!

I saw a similar pic of that section of the course with the rushing water and trapped bike. Scary. Definitely not a safe crossing at that point. Good idea to call it, but a bummer for all involved.

And good job on the race with those crazy conditions.

Another vid of the carnage at the Northeast 24 Hour Challenge. Holy cow. And no more mud races for me (I'm not racing nowadays, but if I was...Lol).

Skip to the 7:00 min or so mark if you're impatient.

I want to do it!!!
