nothings funnier than watching some one attempt an obsticle for 15 minutes and seeing him get upset and frustrated and nervous. gettting a position like that always makes y ou sweat cause you know the line behind is waiting on you to make it over that rock.
funny thing is, that when you get that worked up and nervous, you dont realize the guy behind is going to be doing the same thing and its nothing to get worked up over.

Funny you should say that...
We were out on Falls Dam today and had one of the stock guys on 30x9.5s get high centered. Its a turn similar to the one at the beginning of rocky mount that is getting majorly rutted out and was full of water. There was a large group of Jeeps behind us (some had Carolina Jeepers or something similar club stickers on them) talking
and being complete a-holes basically.
This was after 2 of them couldn't be patient at one point and plowed a new trail through the trees on the side of the trail (knocking over trees to be exact) to get in front of our group. And as they got in front they had more smart ass comments to say as they drove by. It also seemed a trail of bud light cans fallowed them where ever they went. We picked up quite a few of them off the trail.
They also had comments to say about how they are "men" and have penises and we needed to get our "boy" off the trail so they could get going. And they kept talking more and decided to involve my truck before I was about to go through the rutted turn. "And that Dodge won't make it either, we will have to wait on them to pull him out". After I made it through no issues it didn't surprise me they didn't have anything else to say.
Keep in mind it only took 5-10 minutes tops to get him through the obstacle. These are the people that give 4-wheelers a bad name. They will probably blame it on the bud lights they were drinking, but last time I checked it was apart of the common sense rules not to drink and wheel (besides being against Forest Service policy/law). A perfect example of the people we don't need 4-wheeling.

funny you say that....
reminds me of a time this summer on Daniel.
We were going up daniel, at that right turn, just before the step up, below daniel. And my dad broke a rear shaft in his suburban. I was in my jeep below the suburban, winching him sideways to allow us to jack up the rear axle. We had gotten completely out of the way,you could easily get around us on the outside of the turn, and there were a few rigs coming back down daniel. One of the rigs, was a camo ( tiger striped, black and green) cj something that had just flopped on its side above us, in which the guy's son in the passenger seat got shaken up a bit. Everyone was ok, thanks to their cage and safety harnesses.
However coming up the trail at the same time were some guys from FRYE Racing. The one guy in a red yota leading the pack was very nice asking if we needed a hand, we didn't, and i told him about the guy that flopped, and he asked if they were ok and so on and so on. BUT, the blond headed kid in the green yota was a complete jerk. I guess he thought he needed to be a douchebag while he was wrecklessly spinning tires on dry dirt, throwing rocks at everyone, and everyone's rigs while going clearly off trail to unnecessarily bypass everyone through the woods. I guess he just had no respect for someone that had unfortunately broke on the trail, and was buttoning up the fix. It was during one of the poker runs. Anyway, his attitude, showboating, and reckless behavior is not impressive, and he should just shut up, rather than tell the world his two cents worth of idiotic, and just plain stupid opinions that are not needed. So to you, blond haired idiot in the OD green yota thats dovetailed ->
As to the rest of the guys with frye racing, my comments were in no way directed towards you all, just one piece of members within your group. And in no way should what I say be taken as offensive towards your group as a whole, Just the one bad apple, that I will not allow to spoil the bunch.
Greg slade was in the tail end of the group with herbie in the poler run, and we talked as you were passing by, and by no means are my comments directed towards you either.
It just pisses me off we people are such blatent @ssholes, when they attempt to believe they have never broken and/or fixed anything on the trail, and have no disregard for " tread lightly" or the safety of anyone around them.
Once again, these are not the type of people that need to represent the 4x4 community. However we can who the people are in the 4x4 community, we do need to change how these bad apples act. It is just plain stupid and irresponsible.
