Tone this is for you

[Ldub]

While watching, I kept waiting & waiting for the "hand of doom" to reach down from on high & "thin out the herd"...but alas, no such luck.
His constant sniveling made the vid. more scary to watch than the actual experience probably was.
Favorite quote has gotta be: "I'm not showing this video to my insurance company." No S#!+ !

WOW - that was intense!!

Yeah, he was whining a little, but when he was pointing straight up at the sky on the way up and then straight down at the ground... HOLY FASHIZZLE!!!

So Tone made it up there in his MB? Have any VXs tried it yet?

When in Moab much of your time is looking straight up to the sky or at the ground. We do much steeper stuff than this on most of our trails. The only thing that makes Lionsback scary is the drop off on either side of the fin.
The word is, Lionsback and Dump Bump have been sold to a housing developer and this year may be the last that they are accessible.
I did try to talk Linda into it this year. Because it goes nowhere and accessing it from the backside is really life threatening since there have been fatalities, we have never done it, but for various reasons she refused even knowing it may be closed for good. Just for the record we have never ever done something just to say we did it and this is part of the reason she refused not because she is scared of it. We have never done Potato Salad Hill for the same reason.

I usually don't watch this crap, but that was worth every second of the 18 mins.. I don't want any of that time back. Thanx

[mbeach]

Looks pretty scary, but man...

I used to throw people out of airplanes and they didn't cry like that...

[rowhard]

So, what grade is Lions Back, and if you say its a 3.5 I'M NOT COMING!!!!

[psychos2]

They should use this video in a Jeep commercial. One of those only in a Jeep commercials. Because if your gonna wine and cry like that it should be ONLY IN A JEEP ! shawn

[Heraclid]

Didn't look that bad except right at the end. I'm sure it's worse actually doing it, but why couldn't a stocker do that? And it's not THAT narrow. It's a good thing he didn't die doing that. Imagine them recovering the tape somehow and he's left behind that whimpering legacy. LOL!

[nfpgasmask]

Man I watched all 18 minutes of it and I thought for sure the climax was gonna be him rolling his jeep...damn.

Well I'm sure the vid doesn't do it justice. After all, there are some off-roading things I've done in my VX that I was kinda proud of that looked positively benign in the photos of it. These weren't dangerous things, but difficult things. Pics just can't say it all some times.

[circmand]

I made it about 7 minutes into this video. Could benefit by cutting the getting out of the vehicle time. Also doing the commentary after the video shoot because by the time I finally turned it off I was rooting for gravity

[Commando]

Watching it now. What's cracking me up is how the camera's shaking when he's out of the Jeep showing the landscape.

LMAO: "I still have all my bodily fluids in me..."

"I'm gonna have nightmares for the rest of my life. I'm gonna want to sell my jeep..."

"Get me the HELL off this thing..."

"I'm locking the rear axle. Because someone on the forum said to do that when you came down this."

Like his own common sense couldn't tell him to do it?

"You can do this. You can do this Micah. Because you have balls of steel! And you're stupid."

"Okay. Another few hundred feet to go, you can get out and cry like a baby..."

Thanks for the entertainment!

I'll bring my camcorder next year... we should do a spoof of this vid! It'll help ease that feeling of CERTAIN DEATH!... and make for even more good times.

LOL...
