I probably have an unpopular opinion... but I dislike bypasses on the hard trails. I do not think the exit is that bad, 3 of our rigs went up it without too much issues. I bet a rzr could make that climb. If you want to run big boy trails run them, they might require winching a hill or two. I think that should be expected. If you want something easier try the medium trails. In my experience the bypasses break up the feel of being on a trail and make it feel more like going from obstacle to obstacle instead of a continuous trail. For example the "red trail" at the Badlands is this way; there are bypasses past everything and it doesn't feel like a trail at all.
Just my 2 cents!
With that said I would be happy to help open some medium trails. I just think there should be multiple levels of trails to offer a challenge to different vehicles.
I am happy with the trail that we made. I think it will be awesome with some traffic. I can't wait to open up the other ravines coming off of it.

I think Jim said it right, we can focus on making medium rated trails, you have to keep an open mind for everyone to wheel, a easy trail can turn medium quick in a rain shower and a medium can turn extreme in certain conditions also... There is gonna be something to offer everyone as time & effort moves forward. I'm hoping Mark & the land owner will give us another opportunity to help make Rush offroad park a great place for everyone to wheel.No need for a Winch...You just have to make it !!

Here is some links to my videos. I think Shelby, and Heather have a few as well. Once they put them online I will put some links up to them as well.

[QUOTE=mastiff;80040]If i'm not mistaking, its off trail 11 on the 3 pole side, real close to Rock God and Cupcake. That whole hill side it littered with rocks.[/QUOTE
if I remember correctly, it was basically on the back side of the hill from rock god. Some guys on SxS's cut it and came and got us to run it. The video doesn't do it justice. Video #2 is actually the same place, just a different exit.UGLY OFFROAD
