You dont need paddles at the cinders to have fun man. you will be able to get most places without them.There will be some places you may run the motor hard to get up but be smart and watch your temp should have no issues. Now there will also be some bigger hills you will not make up the face but if you have not been there before there are plenty of other small trails and such to ride on. Another word of advice if you use your good dune paddles at the cinders they will be toast in a couple weekends for sure. Just drop the air pressure in the stock tires a bit and go have fun.
