Jumping?? Broke an axle, what’s your thoughts?

So I learned the hard way that when jumping my RZR XP 4 1000 to never hold the throttle while in the air, which quickly broke my right rear axle. The jumps I’m talking about are nothing crazy, just something for a little rush like maybe a foot or two of air, nothing crazy. Could sound stupid when asking this but I don’t wanna learn another hard lesson. When jumping, you let off the throttle, then once you’re back on the ground you can press the gas again pretty quickly after hitting the ground? When I did it again I didn’t press the gas for a while, don’t know which way is better for the vehicle. Thanks!!

Hunterworks ftw!

After being a behind the scenes reader of the forum I noticed Todd’s extremely great customer service so when it was time to buy a new clutch kit for my 800s with 30’s I went to Hunterworks and got me a dalton kit with a new belt and a primary puller for a great price and it arrived in 2 days.. Super happy with the product and loved the super fast shipping! Thanks Todd!

Where to start in WV???

Hey everyone,
New to the side by side world. Have 570 sportsman, 170 RZR and 1000XP RZR. It is me, my wife and 3 girls. 6,9 and 12 are the girls ages. My wife and I have been to Uwharrie National Forest in NC. The whole gang has been to CAW twice and we have rid:redrzr::redrzr::redrzr:en the easy trails together. I want to start in WV in a safe place for all of us and a great place for the little 170 to be able to ride. Side note the 170 does have the big wheel kit which helps a little. Thank you for any advice!

Major Flooding St Louis Area

The Meramec River just southwest of St Louis in cresting at records heights in the nest 24 hours.

I-44 west out of St Louis is shutdown for 20+ miles from I-270 to Eureka, MO

MO highway 30 and 21 west and south are closed also by water of the road.

I-55 south is close to being shutdown as of 7:00 PM CST tonight. Water is creeping onto the road and only 3 of the 4 lanes each way are open.

I live near Fenton, MO which is on the Meramec and a large part of downtown is either under water of not reachable due to water.

MoDoT has warned that you should be on the side of the Meramec that you need to be on before midnight. They think the roads will be closed for at least a couple of days.

We are OK as we live in the higher elevations and don’t have to worry about flooding.
