AZ on the Rocks, Friday, day two.  It was cold and windy in the morning.  I couldn't sleep so I was up around 7, most of the rest of the group was starting to stir around 9.  The plan was to run Armageddon.  I took a small group of guys out early to start getting them up the first chute while the rest of our group got ready to go and would meet us out there.

Thankfully the chute was pretty dry.  Mud makes this section pretty difficult.

The best line past this first rock (without stacking rocks) is to run a tire way up the wall on the passenger side.  It took me several tries to get it right.

I knew my tires gripped the rocks good but this was a little too good.  The rock was wedged in there so good we had to take the shock and rear shackle off to get it out!

Brian was next up.  He worked out some of the small bugs last weekend and his new setup was working awesome.

Jack came up it so fast I didn't get any pictures, except this one at the top.
