havent done any trail riding as of yet, onlytime im on a halfass trail is to get to the mud which is not even a mile ride, and half of it is through small ponds with mud in it, but the gas company said they will shut us riding out there if they find its getting torn up alot...then after that its all mud, it may not be super super thick mud but its nasty swamp mud.........also i ride down in like straight marsh duck hunting area, we ride our bikes in and out of the small water ways that in the winter time they use a boat to get to the blinds.....and that stuff is thick, it cakes the crap out of my vamps
