Did them all except the escalator!We usually skip the hardest parts Hells Gate, Escalator,Tip-Over Challenge.Dragons Tail freaked me out, when we went back to get Justins VX.That was the part I wouldn't drive back up! Fear of heights grabbed me for some reason?!
I am not positive, but from talking (a lot) with grandpa bob and wheeling with him and seeing his skills and fearlessness first hand I dought if he skipped any of the obstacles. He said the short trail (i think it is around 17 miles) took 3 days and he felt like someone had been punching him the whole time. His VX was pretty beat up from it and most all of his cladding was ripped off the VX.He most definitely bypassed the Little Sluice and most likely the Big Sluice as well. Although, with a good spotter, some patience, skill, nerve, and maybe some luck, I bet his VX could have tackled the Big Sluice
As far as the vehicle for sale...it is a very sweet, well built off roader but you can find comp buggies for less on Pirate.
