While it looks like pure water but there is a foot or more of mud at the bottom of it, with the odd huge rock or log thrown in for fun. A nightmare on a motorcycle, much more manageable on a Blaster. You can hear when the Blaster is floating and paddling its way thru.
I used to have a skidplate under the swingarm.
I removed it because it just tended to stick me to the mud.
The sprocket is pretty tough and so far I haven't bent a disk.
Good tires are a must! Speed and floatation are your friends.
