TJ roll over video thread

[JPHikr]

Yep everyone falls on a dirt bike.
But the more you ride the less you fall.
I have been riding since 1965 so I kinda got it figured out.
Plus bike selection, my trials bike will walk up most anything.

Can't say I love the idea of rockcrawling my dirtbike (never done it to be fair) but there certainly are a ton of videos on YouTube of people getting up some crazy stuff.

Bad spotting in that armymedic clip - and a lot of rolls happen in that exact spot. The key to that last ledge is to slide your drivers side front tired down the inside of that wall, and then catch that little lip about 3/4 of the way down.

Loved the commentary. Did you make that your Christmas card?

I ran into this group of riders from South Africa running Moab Rim in 2022 - and we met them at the top!!

Cool group of guys. Here is Yan going up the Z-Turn:



And back down:



Sure, he took the easy line, but still..

Queued up for bikers on Cliffhanger. This is what I'm familiar with seeing.

That pensive music adds so much pseudo drama to it.

Regarding the bikes, that looks like not a lot of fun. Of course I am sure there are places on the trail where it's really fun.

I like bikes and I'll admit I'm not that good to ride mine out there. I've seen a lot of people crash.

The only real interesting thing in that video is when the other group goes to the nuclear missile launch site. Also queued up.

Bikes cant do that. Must be some new AI tech that created those clips.

Don't forget that there's some overlap between the 4x4 trails and MTB trails in Moab. I will say, Fins and Things on a bike sounds absolutely horrible.

Fins and Things in a Jeep is already horrible, after you've done it once.

I saw 2 dudes on gravel bikes up at Yankee Hill in September. Looked absolutely miserable and it's not even a technical trail.

Was just going to post that!!

That's a big Heck No to riding a bike out there.

Haven't watched the full video yet, but anywhere you might have to rappel to recover something is a hard nope for me. I might be crazy but I'm not that crazy.

I know where that is.

As I watch these Jeeps roll I have to ask myself whats the point. Or should I ask how upset would a guy be if his investment/hobby was pretty much destroyed in the matter of a few seconds. Anybody here ruined their Jeep, and did you suffer major embarassment.. I remember when this started a buch of guys standing around helping the guy replace all his blown tires.
