Does anybody know if the flags have to be a orange triangle or can we get some cool ones with skulls and shit on it?

 

Also i have a old silver lake flag that is like 9 foot, do they have to be 10 foot? I know theres a little bar there suppose to hit or something like that.

I won't be making this trip. With no axle, no paddles yet and no sparkies yet I'm just not ready. Still recovering from Badlands too. I will make it this year, we were talking about maybe in late July or early August. Have fun and take lots of pictures to show me what I'm missing!

hey buddy, jd is right heres what i go to offer to get another hq guy out:

 

i have a stock axle that is not bent i will give you FREE

 

i have a set of aero speed 8 paddles on douglas blues i will lend you so you dont have to buy them

 

 

so all you need is sparkys, if you want pay for the shipping to get this stuff to you or if we are driving distance ill meet you.

 

 

let me know, hope you can make it out!

No way dude, you contacted me about getting this trip setup!!! We can get all that stuff handled man this is BHQ! Sparkies can be bought when you get there, SOMEBODY has a stock axle the will GIVE you Im sure... And I might be picking up another project banshee this week that has paddles so I can give u dibs on those. Anyways, if you commit to going I assure you we can make this come together for you. Say the word and I will begin the parts hunt.

 

I know, it sucks man. I really want to go and I've wanted to go to Silver Lake for a LONG time now. I'll call the two people (MikeNick and RunDMC) that were planning on riding with me to see what if anything we can figure out. Trust me, I want to go. I've already bought my ORV sticker for the quad.

 

 

I got a polished 2.5" sparky that I'll sell for 40 shipped.. Save ya some coin compared to the 75 you'll pay at duneland.. All I got is one though.. let me know.

 

Is it a 2.5" Cobra Sparky? If so, I'll most likely take it! I can surely find another one on ebay or something.

I know my buddy CB can't go and he has a set of paddles that I'm sure I could borrow. I've been holding out to buy a set of Skat Traks. He has a set of Sand Geicos that I could use. Anyone know how good these would do up there?

Thanks to everyone for trying to make this trip happen for me. Honestly, I should have focused more on Silver Lake than Badlands so I would have been ready. I'll contact MikeNick and RunDMC to see where they stand. The last time I spoke with them was about postponing the trip til August and they both agreed to it. TRUST ME, I want to go bad. I just feel so unprepared for it and now with my axle on backorder and lack of other necessities and no cabin or place to stay yet, I pretty much threw in the towel.

 

 

I'll see what I can do to pull it off and let you guys know.

 

When is everyone planning to ride? Friday and Saturday? Just Saturday? Sunday??

Okay, I just spoke MikeNick and RunDMC.

 

MikeNick is ready and willing to go. Although he is in the process of selling and buying new shocks, he's ready when I am.

 

RunDMC is like me, just not ready.

 

It's not going to happen for us. My good friend and riding buddy CB6979 can't go in April either. He wants to go but won't be ready in time. He also had some mishaps at Badlands that need to be fixed before he makes this trip. We've tentatively set a date for the weekend of August 6th and 7th. We figure it will be a lot warmer up there, we'll have time to really prep for the trip and get our cabin or place to stay reserved. For me, a hotel is not an option unless I have an enclosed trailer. Being in August, we most likely can just camp since it'll be warm at night then. It sucks, but it is what it is. I would try to set the date a little sooner but I'm also planning around a family vacation and we all agree August is idea for us.

 

You guys have fun and like I said, take lots of pictures!

 

We'll be there in August!

i'll hook ya up, orange square is needed and the flag has to hit a bar that is 10 feet off the ground... so a 9' flag mounted a foot off the ground would be fine.

 

Also, i was up there today getting the shee ready... well trying to and failing miserably... (read in the its broke thread im about to post) anyways, the weather was 35* and snow... big ass flakes going completely sideways, gas was actually cheaper in silver then over on the highway. only saw 1 group of campers at the state park, and 2-3 at yogi bear... and MAYBE 5 vehicles in the parking lot/ORV enterance.

 

anyways, im off to make this other post... please help me there :P also, i'll be up the next 3 weekends, if i can get someone to even come look at this thing and help that would be wonderful... (its in silver, behind bumper cars)
