TCC VIII "The Ocho"

the new park is awesome, i liked it much more than the old park, there was some good carnage too..

Zach's jeep - some body damage
Oprah - some body damage and slight coolant leak
Pigpen - some thing with the steering and broke a drive shaft
General - a few u-joints, muffler fell off, sheared off the two studs in the dana 60 pumpkin(sweet trail fix pictures to come), toasted my battery (pictures to come later), more body damage
JB'S Bronco - cracked windshield
Sloth - electrical issues

all in all a great trip

I think the JB weld fixed the coolant leak.

I'll start uploading the videos later. Theres a good one of John Brown doing a cartwheel through the fire.

Thanks for the vids Robert. Mayfield, where are your pics?

I know more people had pictures.......I need the one of my near rollover

doubt it was that close. you can usually go farthur than you think

yeah probably, the people watching said if I was 10 pounds lighter I would have rolled though

you want to explain that one to me?

I was driving and pivoting on the right front tire. Theoretically without me there it would have rolled.......not saying i would have, just explaining how close it was.....

Like were you teeter-tottering? When was this?

It was one of the last trails we ran before lunch. It was the big rockface we went across followed by a ledge that i dropped off of. You and flem went around the ledge. Right before I took sparling back to start the bbq.

I was teeter tottering, they were yelling at me not to hit the brakes "go go go, don't stop or you'll Fvcking roll!!!!" ***

Oh haha yeah that was a precarious little spot... Flem actually turned around and went back as he had already abused Oprah enough and didn't want to endure any more possible carnage.

flem actually came down the ledge, and it couldnt have been that bad, it was only a 2 foot ledge

ok, it felt like it was about to roll and John brown's friend from tech said it almost went but whatever.

I have a higher center of gravity and I didn't take the best line.

You must be thinking of a different ledge, all I remember is them finally getting the Scout fixed and then we kept on moving, didn't ever physically see Flem come down. Definitely could have though, so maybe he did.

However, you were Schwastyfaced for the majority of the trip, sooooo :flipoff2:

Wait, I remember flem didn't do that ledge, I saw him come down the other way

No, Oprah came down that ledge after you went to take people back. It wasn't pretty.
