I shamed him into going up part of Tr 15 at Windrock during GSMTR, don't think he will ever forgive me. Get 'em up there, It's close 'nuff to home that he can be in bed before he gets in trouble with his boss.

Oh hell!! @tkinze is Rocky ok? Doesn't look like a bad roll, but I see broken glass... Good thing he put that cage in that thing.

The footage seems deceiving. Didn't look like it was that tough a spot.

You get her righted and carry on? Any major damage?

 

[robustbambi]

gopro footage of my rollover.

Like @jynx said the video makes it look like it's not that bad but we all know the video is very deceiving. Was it just a weird off camber turn (as it appears) or what? Reminds me of a video I saw on Facebook(?) and/or mud recently of a jeep that seemingly just flopped on a fairly flat trail but I suspect it was the same kind of deal. Difference was that he went off the side of the hill and kept going. Glad to see yours was minor and no one was hurt.

I could give you some lame arse excuse but in all truthfulness it was total driver error. I was trying to setup for a line to turn left up the hill but because it was still kinda slick the idea was to stay on dry rock rather than damp dirt, short version it was just a stupid line. Funny thing is John had tried it a few mins before and drove out of it cause it felt too tippy, I shuolda paid more attention.

damage report is passenger side A-pillar and windshield are gonners, rear quarter panel above the tire took a pretty good shot too but suspect that can be hammered out. Drivers front tire was cut on the way back just to add insult to injury.

So, gonna take the next month or 2 and do something, not sure what yet but something cool.

It happens. Looks like it was an easy over. Didn't even appear to Crack the windshield.

@tkinze what happened to Rocky? I tried to text him. From the bit's I've gotten his sounded a little worse.

Hate I wasn't able to get there. Sometimes life happens and you have to make a call. Oh well, there will be another rock on another day.

He was in great spirits Saturday and took it all in stride. He said something last night about havin' to book outta town around 7 this morning so didn't see him today. I'll let him tell his own story, probably better that way.
