HOLY SH!TAKE!! I only made it through the first 3 mins and holy crap, I don't see anything like that in the future for my Yerfie. The worst I might encounter here is sugar sand and the occasional palmetto root to bust off a needed component. Its pretty flat around here, and the rolling hills and sand are my main concerns. Thats why I was looking for a real gearbox and clutch set up, to be able to downshift in the thick stuff and to be able to steer with the throttle when needed.
