You'll want to raise that tire up a bit, I imagine. Especially with a larger one. The bottom of my tire is higher than that and I bump it on the rocks all the time

Way too crowded for my likes. It might be cool to check out the expos or something, but forget about trails if you are not signed up for an official run....IMO

nope, after 30 yrs of going it's not fun for me anymore. i remember what EJS used to be and now with all the regs from redrock and the way the stupid northern ut cops are i'd rather spend it in sand hollow.
