Mr.Modified's Simplicity Adventure Edition [2016 Build-Off Finalist]

Here's part one of the New York state run. This one is the initial attempt to get down the edge of the water. I could have kept going and probably found a way through but I didn't want to hack through brush on some people's property. Part two will have more of the action shots and less talking. I didn't bother to get all the video in sequence on the road run to the gas station. I just took video where I could. Mostly off road just past the gas station.

Nice journey, totally cool trail ride.

Thanks. Would have been nice to get down the edge a bit more but not a huge deal. I ended up with a lot more nice footage once I got down closer to the dam where there is more beach area.

Here's a screen shot from the footage I'm still editing. There were some rows of stones in the ground with a nice long run up to them. I was able to get up some speed and jump over them a couple times for the video.

That's a really awesome shot!!

Too bad it cut the top of your helmet off a bit, would've made for a great Simplicity Racing Team logo! Haha.

Pretty awesome!

Thanks! And yeah that one the camera angle was just a little close.

Good news is, there was this big pipe going under the road with a lot of water flowing out of it going into the reservoir. ATV's had been crossing over some rocks where the water comes out of the pipe. I thought at first going through my footage that I forgot to get it on the go pro when I went through but turns out I did get it. Found the clip when I was editing last night. There was a lot of interesting spots around there.

Part 2. I think this is the better video footage. You can see the cool water crossing at 5:06.
Still have a little bit more footage to use. I think I can do one more video which might be shorter.
I think the suspension shot turned out decent. You can see how much work the suspension actually does and how much it really helps out.

Took the simplicity to an engine show/swap meet in Bangor PA with the passenger trailer. Saved some walking. Found a tripod for my video camera for $1 but no super engine deals or tractors that I wanted to buy.

Looks like a fun way to show off the ol girl

How many strange looks and questions did ya get? Nice practical use of the tractor though, much cooler than an average golf cart

Thanks. Some people looked but not so many strange looks. A lot of people ride around with lawn tractors up there. Not too many modified that much but still. Worked out pretty good though. I was always going to bring it there.
