Just finished watching it. I wish they did a better job with seatbelt use, considering the amount of winch use and rollovers.

Also thought dude was about to be cut in half with that heavy rope on the last obstacle!




That place looks epic. Gonna have to put it on the list of places to wheel.

Wow. I just watched this. I have to say I’m not a fan of downhill stuff like this so it will be interesting to see what comes next after all of the sketchiness.

Looks awesome - I’d really like to get out there one day!

The lack of awareness and safety left me cringing too. Wish they would have had more of Bronson and Jess - their buggy is awesome and I’ve seen about a dozen of their videos. Make the crazy stuff look easy.

Fingers crossed that Fowler girl busts her shit completely up.

I was surprised the last guy down the 7’ drop-in didn’t wear a helmet. And there were a couple times I felt like the places people were standing/spotting were really dangerous. Doing endo rollovers like that would be really awful. I often wonder when I see this type of stuff who found this wash/canyon and though “I’d wheel it”. You buggy guys would kill it though.

At the beginning of the video, the “ guide” said it’s not a Jeep trail, not a wide body rig trail, it narrow  it’s a buggy, rear steer trail

These are some wild trails, but the people out of the vehicles are freaking idiots. The way some of these guys are running along with the tow rope and jumping onto rocks right near the rigs are asking for some serious injuries.

Yeah I don't like the downhill stuff either.  Once at Harlan in 2011 we had to use tow straps to ease rigs down.
Then at Windrock when we had to use Danny's Jeep to winch everyone down. I know theguys had a crazy drop
off one year out west also.

Yeah, we hit a little sketchy spot at Windrock last time out there. Down hill with angle to it and long hill to roll down....

100% agree on the safety stuff, we tried to watch this the other night and between the angry eyes grill and idiots running around we didnt make it very far.
