Mission to Snow

Spring snow wheeling of 2011. All of the roads that we ran were legal and open for motorized vehicles. We were the first ones up there so it was trailbreaking all day. The drifts were 10' rollers in spots, one right after another. Running 0-2 psi on this trip. No powder, it was all crusty, windblown drifted ridge running so staying on top was the challenge of the day. Great time, thanks everyone.

Dope vid guys, looks like so much more fun than mud & way less mess. Out of curiosity did you guys play with the tire pressure at all?

@oknasob We normally start at about 5 and continue to lower throughout the day. Usually end up around 0-2. Thanks for watching.

looks like you guys had a ton of fun. Is this in Colorado?

[kfinney80]

@rjk2095 no, Washington :)

@9677simone There are many of us. We run in packs.

@ir0nmaiden13 Oh Wow....you are a moron and obviously know NOTHING about snow wheeling or driving in general. Our tire cannot "fall off the rim" b/c of this little thing called beadlocks. I don't know any REAL wheeler who runs with 10 PSI snow or rock. Please do not post comments on subjects that you are uneducated on.

FUCK normal cars, get a TATRA 8X8 and that's it!

I 2nd "Ironmaiden13" is an idiot who knows nothing about snow wheeling.

If you don't have bead locks, 3M weather stripping glue works well. I almost always run less than 2 psi in the snow, & watch people get stuck that wont air down, because they're too scared to pop a bead dropping less than 5#. As a result, they waste everyones time, & tear up the road causing ruts. Because their tires don't CONFORM TO THE TERRAIN & grab... Or because they cant drive.

Maybe you should stick to mechanics.

I wish it snowed in cali like this... this looks so much fun

@ir0nmaiden13 I really have no need for a VW mechanic but thanks offering. Do some research on rockcrawling tires and get back to me when you're educated on the subject that you are argueing. The beads on the tires that we run now days are intergrated into the sidewall. The fact that you claim to be a mechanic makes you sound even more ridiculous. How old are you? Maybe your out of touch with the way the sport has evolved.

@kfinney80 actually I'm a certified mechanic and collision specialist to boot kid and you have no idea what UR talkin about. The bead on a tire can break with little pressure under deflated conditions. i've broken the bead with spoons with no effort on 32" m/ts plenty of times. You have fun retard. Call me when it shreds ur expensive rubbers and I'll gladly charge u for new ones.
