Well,, vendors are starting to bust out their wares and some of the stuff is fantastic.
Rear view mirrors with GPS and reverse/forward camera screens are the big interest of the minute.
Roofs with integrated lighting and sound systems.

One vendor touting his rear XP1000 / 900 storage box looked promising for about 3 miles.
The box was nice sized and had a spare tire mounted on it with gas shocks to assist with opening the lid (with the mounted spare attached).

"I've sold 500 of them already" went the tale.
Looked nice for about 15 minutes.

I shit you not, three miles on the trail and the whole works exploded taking out both rear quarter fenders and all plastic bodywork in between with major cracks, the spares coming detached and murdering the driver/passenger compartment, and the box flying out ripping out wiring, destroying both flag mounts and whips and bouncing across the whoops, just a fuck story deluxe.

Brutal.

I didn't take a pic,,, just felt bad for everyone.
So,, that's about one hour into the event 15 minutes into the first ride.

Some people sneaking in no reservation poaching without paying for their site is the latest drama.

Amazing many people forgot their helmets so I've loaned almost our entire closet full. Hope I get them all back.

I'll snap some pix today.
I'll be working the FREE raffle Saturday night and easily thousand of dollars of free stuff to be given away. Nice, quality items. Cages, sound systems, mirrors, electronics,, seats. Nice stuff if it makes it to the raffle. Read that: IF.

The single seat Polaris Ace is featured. Hot seller in some parts of the country, dieing on the showroom floor other areas like here in the West.
Damfino,, they are a bargain IMHO if ya like that kinda dealio.

What made the storage box explode like that?

Way, way too heavy.
Fucking detonated.
Went off like a bomb.

It's one of those time I wish I had front camera rolling.

You and your signif other each get a raffle ticket. Last year was supposed to be just one per family.
Make sure before 6 PM Saturday (drawing at 7) and ya have to be present to claim the prize and a Rzr forums registered member.

I only mention it because of all the bitching last year, and non-forums members poaching on the prizes so it's all tightened up for 2015 goes the tale.

Remember free pancakes at the restaurant. Everyone is taking advantage of that.
Cal rolls out the comp booze wagon at the pools in the evening I hear.

I'll ask again if I can remember.
I'd avoid a storage box with the spare mounted to it.
The plastic Loc n ride Polaris boxes seem to have some give in the twists and whoops.
Those solid boxes may be too rigid as well.

The FREE raffle went well.
120 items given away and 116 ticket holders so everyone got something nice. Tires, cages, sound systems, $500 gift certs, lots of good stuff. Everyone walked away happy.

Oh Yeah, eventually hit all the way points except Chirico Summit.
I was working "sweeper" helping those that broke down or fell behind.

Dunno if I'd ever do this event again. We've seen it.
We're now onto Idaho St Anthony and the Big Rally on the Rocks in Moab.

Next Big Rzr event is in Glamis usually around Halloween.

Any good trails in particular? We are staying there in a few weeks. Not taking the RZRs though, we're taking the Jeeps.

They are all good IMHO.
Cal at the office will help you figure out what you may like.
Some are rock crawling and some are all day runs.
Most are half day trips.
