New Vehicles: Dustin Wimer's 2020 Honda CRF 450L


                        The No Budget Boys have added yet another new vehicle to the club! This time, it's Dustin Wimer's 2020 Honda CRF450L dirt bike!! Dustin got this bike in early 2024, and the October 18-20 riding trip to Famous Reading Outdoors was the first time that he has brought it up to a mountains trip with us. He has taken it to Jason Ross's camp a few times, but he was excited to see how it would do on the trails at FRO. It performed very well, and he was very happy with that, and also enjoyed himself a ton while on the trip. This is Dustin's first vehicle he's owned since selling his 2008 Kawasaki KFX450R a few years ago, which was a staple of the No Budget Boys in the early years of the club, from 2011 to 2014. Be sure to look for Dustin in future videos and if you want to see him on the KFX450R, go check out our videos from 2012 to 2014, those videos have a ton of footage and highlights of some wild action from Dustin on that machine.

New Vehicles: Ross's 2019 Polaris RZR 1000 Rock Crawler Edition


                            The No Budget Boys have added another vehicle to the club!!! This time, it's Ross's new 2019 Polaris RZR 1000, the rock crawler edition. Ross bought this RZR in July of 2021, and has loved this machine ever since. He has taken it on multiple riding trips to the Tennessee trail systems like Windrock and Brimstone, and has done 2 Hatfield & McCoy trips as well. Ross has also put this machine through it paces at his cabin up north, about 4 hours away. He has made some upgrades to this machine since buying it, but has nothing but great things to say about it. Be sure to look for Ross & his RZR in future No Budget Boys videos!!!

Track Modifications: April 20th, 2024

                The No Budget Boys made some track modifications going into the 2024 riding season!!! Gage, Andrew & Dustin all pitched in to rent a skid loader for the day, and Andrew got to work with operating and giving the track a nice facelift!!! He revamped pretty much the entire track, minus a few areas. He filled in all of the washouts, cleared away ruts, touched up all the takeoffs and landings for all of the jumps, and even added some new 
wrinkles on the track with some brainstorming from everyone. Dustin came up with the idea
of adding some small berms off to the side of the straightaway coming out of the woods to give riders another option to take, but also something different to attack and have fun on. Andrew got to work and did a great job with building the berms! They are good, but definitely going to make some more changes to make them even better. Dustin & Gage have been talking about some more changes to make going into the 2025 riding season, so we will see how that plays out. Once all of the track modifications were completed, Andrew, Gage, Dustin, AJ, Colten, & Josh Stock all got to break in the new track. It flowed really nice and everyone agreed that not only did Andrew do a wonderful job with operating and getting the work done, but also that the condition of the track should last a good while until another major overhaul/fixing would need to be completed. We got to have 2 seperate YouTube videos from this day, one of just the track construction that was done by Andrew, and then another video which showed the best highlights from the ride after the track was completed. Overall, it was a beautiful sunny day for everything to happen and get done, and everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a fun 
and fantastic day of riding with some work being completed as well. If you haven't already done so, go check out our YouTube channel and watch those 2 videos that we mentioned above from this particular day, and be sure to check out our newest video on the channel while your on there! Again, a shoutout to Andrew for operating the skid loader and getting all of the work done on the track. Everything turned out awesome!! It's been a great 2024 for us, and we cannot wait to close it out in style, so keep your eyes peeled for some new content from us in the next few weeks!!! Below are some pictures from after the track was revamped and also of Andrew operating the skid loader. We couldn't have picked a better day weather wise to do this, it was spectacular!! Blue skies and sunshine!!! Fun times were had, that's for sure!!!
