Is this bad?

You should not had glued those balls in one spot. they were for counterbalance. How did you manage to roll ? Might also be too much tourqe and heavy foot

Whuuutttt? A heavy foot?

You can't see a couple of things very well in these photo's. Just to the uphill side of the truck, if you look closely you'll see that in there is a v-notch in the ledge (which was about hood high). It was also fairly slick. What happened is that it was no joy on the line to the right, so I shifted to the left of the notch. Started climbing and just about got the nose over the lip when the front end kicked downhill, dropping the right side into the notch, which kicked me right over. I was lucky that the cage stuck on impact, and did not bounce or slide. Had I been downhill much more, it could have been barrel rolls all the way down the hill.

While I was the first to roll at WindRock, I wasn't the last...

No one at the shop mention any of this. Who else rolled while there ? Why is everyone so close lipped about it. I am not trying to to keep the roll title to myself. Let`s share the credit. Tell me more ?? Where are the photos ??

All they said that they had a great time and I would like it.

Everyone but Rich rolled or flopped at Windrock - and Rich totally f-ed his rear shaft and added a bit more character to his sheet metal. The exit out of "Baby Rattlerock" was the killer - most were on their side there. Top of the entrance of "3" is where I flopped. The exit of 3 stopped even the big buggies - no one made it up.

Someone in our group even managed to roll an ATV.

Most excellent times had by all, truly a character building experience.

We also gernaded birfs (2 of mine on upper 2 - big surprise) an r&p (Steve's on School Bus) and a superset axle (Rich's on Schoolbus) at Telli. Epic winch fest down off of Schoolbus in a freakin' monsoon. Rivers of water running down the trail - ride'em cowboys (use trees for brakes). You missed a heck of a good time.

Pic's are in a variety of cameras. As soon as they start showing up, I'll post. Thanks again for letting us use your trailer.

That is the least I could do. I always like to help to get rigs with dent in them.

smtyblt · 05-23-08, 01:28 PM

I dont recall flopping or rolling but it was for sure a damn good time.

Skrewball · 05-24-08, 11:20 PM

I must agree that it was a very good time. i have a bunch of pics, and i am preparing cd's for everyone.
