Well it's been a LOOONG time since I have been back on the quad forums. 
I remember WAAAY back in the day when I was on bluetraxx and blasterhq was the places to be....don't think I have posted on either since 2005? Well anyways, a short bio of myself. I grew up in a small town and within city limits. I had no initial interest in ATVs until my sophmore year of HS when I went out to a friends house and I had a chance to ride a Honda Recon....lame I know. Still though for a first time that was pretty thrill seeking. After that I went out and purchase my 1st quad, a 99 Blaster from my brother in law when I was 16. It was almost completely stock minus the baffle being out of the exhaust and it had a +3 swingarm...it was actually pretty smooth and had a pretty linear powerband then....burnouts were pretty easy with the linear powerband.
Then the modding began. I already had more than enough experience with engines and beckoned for more. I'm a research freak so I spent long hours researching via bluetraxx and blasterhq at the time. Then back in 03?...can't even remember it's been so long. :-/ .....I decided to do somewhat of a large all in one project after I supposedly needed a rebuild....long story. At any rate, I sent out my cylinder and head to Hollywood Dirt Productions(heard he went under ) and had him do the Stage 3 port and polish job, milled and rechambed head, bored and rifled the carb out to 30mm, purchased an LRD pipe, added uni filter to air box covered with outerwears cover, works dual rate fronts, AC front bumper, douglas rear rims, Tag X5 bars on Scott grips, Boyesen Carbon Fiber Reeds on a slightly ported stock cage, Wiseco Pro Lite piston, and on and on. Busted the blaster out and got it back and rebuilt it myself. Good times riding. I:I
After HS, I had to take off and move to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University.....in other words....the blaster sat in my parent's garage for almost 5 years without being ridden outside of maybe once a year in my parent's small city yard. It's kind of sad really. I tried selling it 5 years ago, but it's kind of hard to sell it while staying busy and working 2 hours away from where it is located when you can't always meet up with buyers and everything and the price has depreciated a lot more simply due to time. At any rate, I'm 24 and temporarily back at my parent's house before I start up my new occupation this summer in Columbus again. This is my chance to sell....refresh it a little bit, and most of all....go out and actually ride it off road for the 1st time in 5-6 years. I:I I joined because I had a few questions about the blaster and being the researcher, it's always interesting to see what's out there in terms of info as it's always useful to learn and get customer reports. I will inevitably sell the Blaster, but won't forget it. Always nice to have that small quad feel that you can toss around since I'm only 5'7". I'll be out of the offroad scene for a while, but I went out to my friend's house for a while and rode his YFZ and Outlaw and I'm interested in quads all over again....but will be living in Columbus, sooooo :-/ My main interest is cars and I will be looking into getting a sports car here in the future, but down the road, I'll be looking into getting a fast 4 stroke like a KTM 525XC and a Banshee on the side and maybe I'll just keep it in the parent's garage so I have some machines to go out and ride with the old friend's once in a while. At any rate, here is a vid of my blaster and the mod list. Nice to see the blaster community still thriving. I:I
