I can't believe you motored out of that rut once you dropped into it. Good job! And by the top of the climb, it looked like you weren't the only one hot and tired--was the KDX overheating a bit?

Just a little bit

Top hose clamp on left rad is loose, I've been to lazy to take the tank off to fix it :wink:

Only lost about a 1/2 cup

Okay, I am shocked that as sticky as that tire is that it couldn't go up that rut. Almost every trials tire video that I've seen the bikes will climb a freaking mud wall.

As was I, but all I could do is spin it on that foot tall rock ledge inside the rut

Try running it at 16psi next time you have a chance. After looking around on the interwebs I noticed people running higher PSI in their trials tires.

I did

That was either 15 or 18 psi in the video

It was better but had no traction on the side knobs, it not hold on the upper side of a rut, just kept sliding down

You would not think a hard knobbie would be any better but it was

I've got an old Michelin to try out and see if it is any better someday
