Just wondered if you went on Oct 18, thats when I went. It was great!

They added jumping just this year in March. I loved every minute and never thought one time that it needed any suspension mods...curious if you agree

Well you lucked out, damn it. I was there in late March and it was a "NFW" situation.

We did not jump in March either. I did not get insurance, but maybe should have. One guy whacked a small tree on the side of the trail and another guy had a chipped windshield.
I thought the deductible was $500. You should verify what it really is.

You absolutely don't need mods as long as you drive it reasonably. I've actually put up several comparison videos - the bang for buck with suspension upgrades is a lot less than people think.

This was a stock truck, only broke a few clips on this jump. Note the driver had no intention of jumping this high.

I can hardly wait to go in 2020.

Sorry sorry...I meant June...not March. They had new 2019's so we got to use trail control and had the live valve shocks and I think we were only the second class to have jumps included in the curriculum.

Unless you had a different set of instructors than I, you were never going to jump. They made that clear from the start. Nor would they demonstrate it. Despite a bribe to be paid to their favorite charity.

i went in October and the jump was part of the program. That being said it wasn’t my favorite portion, it’s fairly low speed - just enough to get a little air. I can’t blame them though as that’s got to be hard on the trucks, especially if done incorrectly. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with the day and highly recommend it!

Same here! Now if they would just open registration so I can get days requested off at work before it's too late!

They told me they'd open them in December when I inquired about it.

Great to hear!. I fly to Utah on Thursday.


Do you recommend paying the $80ish for insurance? I opted not to figuring I would be timid and any damage I did would be well below the $5k deductible.

Pay the $80 bucks....its worth the peace of the mind.
