P500 Can the Pioneer 500 FLY? Yes...but it hurts to land (video)

[SouthwestORV]

As the title says, I tested the flight capabilities of our little 2018 Pioneer 500 this past Wednesday. It was fun! Nothing broke...no one got hurt...but the landing was a little rough. I measured where the tires left the sand to where they touched down = 36 ft. There, now you don't have to try. I found out for you.

I'm surprised you only got 2 likes so far. It's the best p500 jump ever and the best overall jump since Clark Griswold launched the family truckster 50 yards!

We were exploring the dunes all day, and when we came upon that particular spot I knew it was perfect for launching the little Pioneer. So I gave it a shot...and it turned out. But I’m not much for jumping in general; I’m too cautious.

Thanks! I’m not sure what came over me. I just pinned the gas and sent it.

I just noticed your avatar...pretty cool! I'm going to try to find something similar up here in NE AZ. That would make a great video for Southwest ORV, and good photos to share here on the Honda SxS Club.
