Glad you enjoyed the clip

The paddles are called "Mudslingers", Made by Quadivator.
I got this set about 10yrs ago, from a friend. They were a Demo Set, and so I got them for 1/2 price. (This was back when the were first introduced)

I understand that they are quite expensive now, but have not looked myself.
I am the only person that I know of that has a set.
They are a great conversation starter

They have proven to be very durable. Some of the paddles are finally damage and could tear off at any time now (But this is the 3rd set of tires to that set of Slingers)

They DO make a big differance under the conditions I ride in (Swamp and Muskeg). I have been able to pull trailers through places where other bikes are getting stuck.

Downside: As the mud thickens, it can really bog you down.
Don't even think of staying clean with these things on your bike, they throw SH&# EVERYWHERE.
They widen the bike and can hang you up in the brush.
They make riding in standard width quad rutts into HELL

So anyway, yes they make a differance, but I like them more for the novelty and the reactions of people when they see them.
