Wow, guys. Getting a laugh out of someone elses hardship? That's awesome. I'm not going to argue any of my points, nor am I even going to try and stick up for myself or my team. We did what we did, and that's that. If this is the way things are going to be, with poking fun and name calling, then please, leave the humor on this site, and keep it off of ours. Someday, hope to run into you guys on the trail again, and we can all get along. Take care for now.

Listen dude, we see this shit happen on our trails all the fawkin time. If using your mistakes as an example of what not to do saves just one other newbie from busting his shit, abandoning a vehicle on the trail, etc etc, then it's worth your little bit of humiliation.

I think it all comes down to common sense.....and some people just don't have it.

I think you're right. Common sense is key. Hope all is well.

Wow, that bottom end carnage is something to be proud of, shop wall trinkets for sure. I'd personally rather have it happen as the result of a 6,000rpm hillclimb assult, but thats just me.

FYI, those holes are not bad at all, no need for such tom foolery as a 30mph full-thottle assult. Most people go through those in first gear, 2wd.

Everyone heres done some stupid chit in the past that theyve learned from. Even the guys with buggies and 40"s need to start somewhere. Im not at all saying Im one to judge, "Mr. doesnt bring a spare tire with him on the trail" :roll: :crybaby2: I still have a hellavalot to learn.

Just make sure your team learns from their mistakes so that in the future, you, the trail, and our reputation as a sport doesnt get damaged. See you guys on the trail.

Thanks for the words, Jim. Believe you me, I've learned from that experience. Next time I'm up there... I'm staying to the RIGHT side of that hole, and creeping through it. Ha ha.
