I went at hit a few trails a few days ago right after it rained and it was a blast.The only problem is that i had some trouble going through deep water or mud. I can do it but the front of the bike just walks all over the place. It was defiantly cool,but how do you go through more stable. I just kept feeling like the bike was going to wash out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Phil

Wow What a difference. I dropped 5 psi in my rear tire and try my best to follow the front end until i was out of the mud. I also found it that if i kept the rpm's up it made going through not as tough. Thanks for all the great advice!
