[nickjc13]

thing is sort of tipsy?

 

[Rural-Assault]

When in doubt, reverse out. :shhh:

 

[Ghost]

I would have gassed it. What trail is that?

 

[Rural-Assault]

I don't know the trail names that well but I think it was on Falls Dam.

Looked like the front suspension was loading because of the locker, that would have been a good spot for a 2-low set-up. My instinct would have been to hit the gas and steer drivers side. But you really never know if its gonna work or not till its done (or your looking at the world with a sideways view!)

x2! I don't think I ran Falls Damn when I was there a few weeks ago. Been a while since I hit it actually. Nice save though.

Nerves of steel amigo. Looked like a some sort of wicked dance pose, almost intentional. Pretty sick.

OMG your alive, Welcome Back !

 

[WTF]

Um yeah, thats about the time mine would stall from fuel starvation and then roll through the non-power assisted brakes.

Kudos to you for staying calm in that situation. Instinct is to gas out of that but backing up was probably the smart move there.

Flopping at Uwharrie is usually completely avoidable and just caused by being a dummy. Sure it's fun, but you'd rather not have your friends find out about it.

take that roof rack off and get your suspension tweaked up a little bit and that would have been avoided...

 

[bigalpha]

That sucker got tall in a hurry, lol. If that ever happens to me while my girl is riding shotgun, she's gonna drop brix.

 

[mbogosia]

I would have screamed like a little girl. Unfortunately

Hmmmm, I think someone here has been there done that! Of course that is better then floping off the RTI ramp!

 

[Rural-Assault]

Yea, you see how quick I got over to the passenger seat :wave1: I thought it was going over for sure. I always take my spare off the top when i'm wheeling. If it had been on I can pretty much gurantee i would've flopped.

we already knew that one:moon: har har har!

 

[trail rate this]

I would have screamed like a little girl. Unfortunately

When he's not screaming like a little girl, he's giggling like one.

 

[High2by]

Close one!! I bet you couldn't have drove a nail up your a** with a sledge hammer. Nice recovery!!!!!

You know this is a good example of what can go wrong wheeling. I have been wheeling URE for 6 years or more and have broken more stuff there, on there easy trails, then I have all the other places combined.
