TJ roll over video thread

Can we teach the videographers to stick with the action. Miss out on an epic fail and just get to see the skyline. . Too much skinny pedal will get you ever time.

How about this roll over? I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how he even did it and the amazing quality of the video.

LOL. Wow, not even sure what he did wrong, but again, miss carnage due to looking at the ground. Got to stay with the action. Bonus points for a good soundtrack to the mayhem.

Perfect. How hard is the Escalator actually? All of the videos I've seen of it, it looks relatively easy if you know the right line.

That's not the Escalator. That's the Staircase.

Oops. Everything in Moab looks the same to me, so I mix trails and obstacles up a lot.

It's all good they recently reopened it.

"The Staircase is a less-known obstacle on Hell’s Revenge because it has been closed for 10 or more years. In 2022 it was opened again, and it is a fun challenging obstacle that has a v shape at the beginning that requires a good line to not fall into the V.

The Staircase is similar to Hell’s Gate and could be considered a mini Hell’s Gate. You need to stay on the right line, or things can get tippy."

It almost looked like it was a drone that crashed into the hill right at the wrong moment. Either that or the guy slipped at the wrong time.

Ah that makes more sense. That's kinda what I assumed based on what others have said.

Yep, it's the gatekeeper. You made it look easy.

Good to know, and thanks. Last time I did Gatekeeper, I went up the left-hand side which has that big ledge you see at the bottom. Makes it a bit more challenging.

I've done Escalator, and I know the right line - and I would certainly not call it relatively easy...

Like Mike Tyson said: "It looks easy in the video - until you get punched in the face!"



Just about every obstacle looks easier on video.

That makes sense. Moab trails are just completely foreign to me so I have a hard time judging them compared to my usual trails.

It’s so easy a Bronco can do it

 

[P man]

Short arms with 4" springs don't help.

Nice try but I ain't falling for it

That looked like our midwestern farmhand friend.

Has anyone here actually wheeled in a newer Bronco? I'd like to if I ever got the chance just to try it out. I've only ever seen one on a trail once.

That Bronco may not be a fair comparison.
