I've seen a good amount of broncos on easier trails or around town and a lot of buggies with bronco panels on hard stuff. Certainly more than 2 years ago.

Today on Pritchett there was one 6th gen raptor bronco. It was his second time running the trail in the last few days and took about an hour on little Rock pile before accepting a pull. I didn't see him on the other obstacles but I imagine with the determination he had, and the crew willing to toss rocks, he made them.

An hour!!!

Hopefully you guy’s didn’t spend all that time waiting on them.

Learned our lesson the hard way a couple years ago to not let the built broncos play through.

I sure as hell didn't go up Rock pile to bypass lol. It could have been a bit less time but not much. He was on it for a long time. Funny though the 4runner on 37s walked right up after him.

It really didn’t slow us up at all. The trail was backed up in front of him and we were’t going anywhere anyway.

But, he should have pulled cable much, much sooner than he did.

Jeff, how does Pritchett compare to last year? Videos I’ve watched look like down n dirty has changed quite a bit.

Much worse. That left hand cliff hanger to get down and around had eroded so much they built a bypass off to the right - which everyone but one buggy took. The bottom of that section was filled with gigantic boulders making passing through much more difficult. Crazy fun.

This is now what you have to get through once you get down.

I have to admit, today I’m wheelin’ with a group of hardcore Broncos that all make me look small. Good group of guys. We hooked up with them on Behind the Rocks and again on Pritchett.

They invited me along on Hell’s today.

Looking forward to the pictures and vids.
 
I need to pull photos from the wife's phone but JMT and I were narrow enough to take a different line that looked a lot tamer.

Looking forward to seeing that line since we'll be doing the same thing in a month.
