Sand Hollow (4/29 - 5/3)

[MikeE024]

Below are some photos from my trip in Sand Hollow. @TJustin and @sunnysideup_lj (and his family) were great spotters and a pleasure to watch make difficult obstacles look relatively easy.

We had stretched and non-stretched TJs/LJs with really great people behind the wheel and spotting for safety.

Trail List
- Double Sammy
- Death Row
- Unforgiven
- Triple 7’s
- Front Range
- Papa Smurf
- The Fallen
- Dead Broke
- The Maze
- Landslide
- Milt’s Mile (Forum run)

Christian was kind enough to take some really nice photos with his fancy camera (Christian @ Builtmarketing.co)

Christian's brother Logan was an absolute boss in his manual TJ (dude took that thing up The Maze - You Gotta be Nuts)

Local FB dude joined the group in his manual TJ, but he didn't last very long

What a trip.

Thanks man, there were some really nice rigs out there.

I was happy with the volume of trails we knocked out those few days. I counted double of 7 or higher rated trails, which is a win in my book.

Overall we had a great lineup of capable drivers, which for sure helps in keeping the group moving.

I’m looking for one of our group’s members cameo in an upcoming MORR YT video.

Awesome pics! Looks like a great time!

Killer shots! Saw you by the Maverick one day and almost turned around to check out your rig in person. I bet it performs even better than it looks!

Woah! Would have been cool if you stopped us. We usually did a mid-day break for gas and food before meeting up again for an evening/night run. Would have been fun to rip through the dunes with you.

Glad you made it out and had a great time. It's an amazing place.

This was a great trip packed full of wheeling. We will need to make it happen again!

I don't even know where to begin commenting on those great pics! I sold a car on BaT last month, initially starting with my vintage Canon Pro1 (prosumer grade) digicam with its articulating viewfinder panel. In the end, using my Samsung S24 Ultra Android phone (mini tablet) without that feature became faster to view gallery pics taken, which then became what I submitted to BaT, along with vids taken on same. I'm curious what the photog used for the above images. Highly enjoyable, regardless...

Below are some video clips from the trip (mostly from @TJustin's GoPro)

Doing much of this at night is extra, super cool!

Justin did a great job choosing the trails for night runs.

We did Triple 7s that night then stopped over to do the Chute & After Chute before ripping around in the dunes.

Cole saying "you had it" after the flop still cracks me up. The crew was super gracious and helpful out there. The poor guy's right arm was all chewed up with abrasions that didn't make sense until I saw footage of him sliding out of his rig and down the obstacle.

I was on the last obstacle on the fallen (the v-notch after the z turn) when I had my hand on my slider's rub rail until @NashvilleTJ quickly told me to pull my hand in (and subsequent arm in the tub) in case I fell off the driver's side of the notch. I wont forget the risk I had there crushing my hand and elbow if things went sideways, I really appreciate Jeff saying that so I don't do it again in the future if something does go bad.

 

[NashvilleTJ]

Great to see the actual names of some of those obstacles. Thanks for posting.

key word, “had”… until the top. This was a rough flop. Glad he was okay!

Oh yea, that smack at the top was pure doom. Also glad he was okay!

Yeah, whoever spotted him up should be publically shamed.
