Yikes - nothing worse than going backwards and downhill on ice!

Wonder if you can stud ATV tires? ;-)

Yeah..I love the "oh no!"

Funny Dave....we talked about that afterward.....Chains as well. Literally down the hill...the road was 2-3 feet thick of ice...it was as if there was a raging river...that just froze solid. We decided to NOT spend the afternoon winching and falling down, to get back up the hill...so what you saw was just at the top. I have some pictures, that I'll post.....I have one more video uploading now......

Not that you can predict rivers of ice and not that it happens often enough...

I thought the diamond pattern would be good with the deep lugs on the Bighorns.

Looks like Angelo wasn't paying attention to the ice story here.....


He went wheeling on the Fordyce in his new toy Monday morning...and didn't get out until 22 hours later...spent the night in the mountains. Lucky sucker.

Ha! My pond would be a cake walk compared to that. You need to make a music video out of that using this song by Chris Isaak: :P

Cool video! :lol:

Just for future reference... have you guy's seen the new ITP TundraCross tires yet? It's the first commercially availble ATV tire that come studded from the factory (that I am aware of anyways :wink: )
