On a recent trail ride I tried to climb a black trail, which I gave a valiant effort, but was stopped by a muddy rock. But the guys took some great photos.

Check out the back!

Check out the front!

That is the true angle of the hill, the camera was kinda held level :shock:

One of the many trips for the testing of Big Al's Liberty Lift System (BALLS)

That only happens when he is getting ready to hook up a trailer :shock:

Coming down hard on a rock/stump etc. Is hard on the B.A.L.L.S. though.

:lol: Yous guys are just too funny!

As for the front wheels being moved froward, yes they are about 1/2 to 1 inch, looks more in the picture. When I put the spacer in the carriage has some adjustment in it, so I pulled it as forward as I could get it.

As for kissing the tree, I did-not very hard, just enough to push the door handle in. I locked the door, yanked very carefully on the handle and popped the dent out. I still will need to go in from the interior and push the rest out ever so slightly. There was a lot carnage on the trail that day, not just mine.

Yeah yeah, sure Al. I saw the video. :wink: My tail light was really busted by a shopping cart at the grocery store.

So seriously Al, could The B.A.L.L.S actually go into production? I mean you have made some serious changes, most of which isn't bolt on. How feasible could this really be for us?
