Paragon is probably a little worse than some of what I'm seeing in your vid and pics.

I don't have to. The rockies have hundreds of trails where tree avoidance is not a major factor. Rocks and climbing up and around obstacles are the challenge. The armor of sliders and bumpers take care of that.

Thats a cool vid there Romer. Tim and I had agreat time with you and Tim as well as every one else. Laura and I discussed Moab the night I got back and we will see you there.
Awesome job capturing the event Nakman.
Some of the feedback we gave Mike was "get rid of some of those trees". Well Tarbe and I were talking about it and we agree that the trees should be left alone. If those trails were more open, would it really have been challenging or would it have been a little forgettable? The tightness of the trails are what we'll be talking about for a long time to come. If some of those trees were gone, no one would have needed a spot and that would take away the challenge, the pucker factor and 95% of the fun as well. The character of the trails would be completely changed forever. I say keep the trees where they are on the existing trails and maybe make a few wider trails in the future. How I feel about this may have something to do with being the only 80 I know of to come through unscathed

I wouldn't mind if some of the sidewall punching stumps were removed though.

Looks like a ozark threesome ..... or treesome 
Woody or MoJ summed it up I think. "take out four or five trees and it would be awesome". This must be one of the trees

Great.. Only thing I see on this thread is me changing a birf! 
Foto Documentation specialist Woody ..
Had a blast.. Ordered parts from Luke @ 4x4 labs already, should be in this week! Woody just laughed every time I'd go by with another tie rod! Bent 2 snapped a relay rod.. All in the same 100 yards..

Tarbe,
Post up your thoughts regarding the trees. Tim originally had the insight about the trails I posted earlier, I was just in agreement.

I finally washed mine tonight. I still have tree marks on my RR flare and both Hanna quarter panel bars. But they are only scrapes.
You, on the other hand, had gouges! Sounds like you have them smoothed out. Is Ma Romer smoothed out yet?
I sure wish I had been able to run that yellow trail (10?) with you. Looked like a neat trail.
