This past weekend I received a call from the guys over at
Kitt Equipment/Trailer Sales to see if I would come up to get some photos of the
SWATT Poker Run. I would be riding shotgun in a Polaris RZR XP kitted out, needless to say I said yes.

South Western All Terrain Trails (
S.W.A.T.T) held their 2nd Annual ATV/SxS Poker Run over the BC Day long weekend this year. It is a two day event where on Saturday it was the mud pit and obstacle coarse challenge. Sunday was the Poker Run through the extensive trail system now in place up at Hemlock. The parking lots were turned into camping spots for the riders to stay. The upper parking lot was were the
SWATT info tent was located as well as a huge display by
Kitt Equipement/Trailer Sales who were one of the main sponsors for the event.

It was a dry dusty scorching hot day and it was only 9am. They broke the riders into groups and sent the groups out at different intervals to keep traffic jams to a minimum. Just as our group was about to leave it came over the radio that a machine was on fire on the trail. Well that detained us for almost 90 minutes while they had to deal with that. No forest fire but unfortunately a RZR pretty much melted away just leaving the frame. Pics of that at the end so keep reading.
