Default The Mounds!!!! (Big Pics, 56k No Way!)

Well during the day my cousin, I and my friend where bored. Couldn't snowboard cause the warm weather turned the hill to slush so we headed out to Mounds ORV (Off Road Vehicle) Park just outside of Flint, Michigan.
I brought my cam and snapped some pics.


My Cousin's friend, Andy, thought he could takle this mound for ATVs only and met the tree. He got out with some pushing.


Some of the ATV/Quad guys.



A HUGE rut, giant chunks of ice and a stock TJ don't make for good bed fellows. My cuz looks happy all things considering.

We got out though.

To give you an idea of the ice chunks, Brad held one up for the camera. He's a about 6' tall.

Where we got stuck.

After continuing along we kept hearing this weird clunking so my cuz stopped to check it out.

That sucker was wedged between a skid plate and the driveshaft. The shaft kept hitting it.

My cousin, Ben, TJ after all was said and done.

And Andy's.


Also took 2 vids. Went through a water hole, was rather deep. **RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS**
vid 1
vid 2

All I can say is....Mudding is fun as hell!
The Red TJ is my cousin, Ben's. Totally stock minus some 30" tires and a Borla exhaust.
The White one of Andy's is complete and totally stock. Oh and it's a lease too
