hey billy, sorry we havent posted more, im sure they are still to come...

i just got home from moab about 15 minutes ago...it was a long week....
so here's the wrap up for me personally..

monday- gold bar rim and gemini bridges

tuesday- seven mile

wednesday- steel bender (barely)(more story to come)

thursday- poison spider

friday- cant remember lol

saturday- klondike bluffs and hells revenge

so here's the real story for me for the week-
on steel bender there is an obstacle called the wall thats about a 5 foot drop off with a sort of bypass thats really tippy....so i dont have skid plates so i opted for the tippy side since i didnt wanna mess up my oil pan or anything like like...

anyhow, i was the guinea pig for the tippy part of the obstacle since i was the first vehicle besides the trail leader to try it....

aparently we picked the wrong line because i ended up sliding sideways off a rock and going up on 2 tires on my way to rolling over...
luckily i wasnt hung over because i let off the brake and steered into the obstacle saving my VX, myself and larry gammon...
once jo gets a chance to load his photo's up then you will be able to see the situation...
it would have been the first serious VX accident in moab hadn't i steered into it and bounced my way out of rolling over.....

everyone doing steel bender that day was shaking for hours afterward because everyone had almost just witnessed a big roll over next to a tall cliff.....

jo has a great photo of my VX with the rear tire about 6 and a half feet off the ground because he snapped perfectly right when i started to roll....

anyhow, thats my story of the week...

Ah, PB! You should have checked the pics/video from 06. Then you would have known to take the wall. The way the wall drops off is no differant from the wall on Gold Bar Rim. No need to worry about your pan...unless all your wheels fell off in the middle of it! The other way you went is WAY tippy. A few went that way in 06 and in the vid you can see us literally hanging from the rear end of the VXs to keep them from going over. With your lift you would have had no problem.
Right way...


Wrong (tippy) way...

I think Zeus will back me up on this one!

Has anyone heard how Jeff (Paddler on the other Zu boards) is doing? Apparently, while doing trail repairs, the vehicle fell on him and he had to be air lifted off the trail to the hospital.

Edit:
Just found this update on the 'Wire.

I heard about this on Friday night. That is scary stuff. Glad he is ok and recovering.
