I was at home watching kids when this happened but should have been on this run. This is my good buddy Mick who some of you have met, he goes along with many of our Walker Valley runs. Hopefully you can see the video. I'm not a facebook user and just use my wife's account when I need to see things.

He flopped on that big upside-down-bathtub shaped rock just after expressway.

WOW... thats amazing how much that rock is dug out now, and the fact that he flopped it open/open is even more amazing! Glad nobody was hurt

Yeah really, the open/open part is amazing. I guess he couldn't make it via the usual right-hand line so he went left and used a fair amount of throttle. I'm glad everyone was ok too. This was his passengers first time going off-road and it didn't phase her.

Ouch. I got hung up there in the first rig set-up, 31" tires and 3" lift. But after that I started going on the edge of the rock...it always worked in the past anyways.

Crazy how he ended up though, glad it wasn't worse.

At least he had tow points. Think this obstacle is getting hairy last time through I saw some fairly serious off camber stuff even from locked rigs.
