I learned that years ago while racing motocross. Skill #1.It is very obvious that different driving styles and abilities has a huge impact on a rig's capability. An experienced driver with a inferior rig could outperform an inexperienced driver with a well set up rig. There are also many other factors such as condition of tires, axle gearing, 4:1 vs 2.72:1. Take this video with a grain of salt. It's even ok to laugh

I agree and I'll let him know. He normally has a PBR flag back there. I don't think he realized how big the US flag was.Midnight Krawler should change the flag so he isn't dragging it on the ground.
Perfect description of our area. The only part I would add is:As I am watching the video I am thinking...How different would this be in the Northeast? First, add trees just a little wider than your Jeep. Next, add humidity, mud, and slick rocks that roll.
Something we did, especially on the first ledge, was slowly move into it for the purpose of taking momentum largely out of the equation.Thanks for sharing your data, Doctor
After some rigorous peer-review, I'd say that driver skill (specifically maintaining appropriate momentum and timely power modulation) was the main key to 'success'.
Next time, you could switch up drivers on the same rig/obstacle, but there is also something to be said about being very familiar with a particular setup.
Potentially less traction and fewer options for lines and lines that change underneath you. What then changes about what was shown and what might be wanted in a suspension?As I am watching the video I am thinking...How different would this be in the Northeast?

I'm glad you said that. I kept thinking to myself, give it a little bump and you're good to go!Something we did, especially on the first ledge, was slowly move into it for the purpose of taking momentum largely out of the equation.

Is there a standardized length?This shows short-arm jeeps making it up more obstacles than mid or long arm ones. This conclusively shows that short arm is best.
Why does arm length matter?Is there a standardized length?
Short arm in inches?
Mid-arm in inches?
Long arm in inches?
At what measurement does a mid arm become a long arm?
