geckos are the worst so ive been told. they're the only paddle ive ever tried so i have nothing to compare them to.

alot of people at my sand spot use maxxis 4 snow/ pro wedge II's. they seem to do good. the bonus is that they hook up really good in soft pack dirt too.

Geckos are fuckin awesome. We ran em on my sisters banshee and they carve dunes sideways all day long

are the maxis paddles any good ...i think there called maxxis razor blades or somethin like that

I'm not sure how Geckos perform elsewhere in other conditions but in the Oregon Dunes...Geckos can't climb out of their own way.

This is what we run:

YFZ - 20x10x10 8 paddle Extreme Haulers
YFZ - 20x10x10 ITP Sandstars
310cc Tecate - 20x10x10 9 paddle Extreme Haulers
265cc Tecate - 20x11x10 8 paddle Extreme Haulers
Tri-Z - 21x11x8 7 paddle Extreme Haulers
YPVS Tri-Z - 20x10x10 8 paddle Extreme Haulers

Haulers are popular. The sand here isn't heavy or wet like oregon so that could be why geckos suck. And I've been to coral pink sand was kinda thick but sand stars did just fine.

i may trade my geckos to my bro in law for a set of pro wedges. thery're 22" tall though. idk if i want any that big.

these are my paddles ...sand tires unlimited makes them there called sand skate 2

well i tried the pro wedges out last sunday when we went to albany and they are 1000x better than geckos! i got the banshee to stand up with the pro wedges and the +6 swinger. the geckos would spin with the stock swinger lol.

i traded the geckos to the bro-in-law for the pro wedges straight up. i thought id have problems turning 22" tall tires but i was surprised at how good they did.

i also now have a tire that can hook up in dirt too. if i didnt ride on the road so much, id throw the razr's away lol.

Hey volfan, those pro wedges are great in snow as well if you ever find any. That is by far the most preferred tire for the snow trips we take to Diamond Lake.

yeah, the 4 snows are basically the same tire. we rarely ever see snow here though. we got snow this past january, about 4". that was the most since about 1992 lol.

i wish we had snow here so i could get a snowmo. those things look like alot of fun!!

We rarely see snow here either. But an hour and a half up the mountain and...

now that looks like fun!!!

Wow that looks like a blast! We used to ride snow trails at our cabin but they banned atvs

i like my haulers i used to run sand stars but i like my haulers alot more

i wanna try a pair of haulers one day ..but i hear that paddles like geckos and sandstars help u not slide when ur carving a dune or a bowl? cause there not straight paddles

see i look at it the other way around haha the v paddles slide alot more imo

I've had both. The straight cuts do help hill shooting and you won't slide if your on the throttle hard. But the v cuts are better for carving if you are in tight areas where you can't be pinned. Like aggressive dunes.
