Well, she's not a virgin anymore. The combination of a little rain and a little Slickrock in Tellico (maybe a little driver error :D ) and over she went.

The video is kind of large, but it is worth the download. It was a lot more violent of a crash than the picture shows.

thanks mudpup :beer:

Fawkin West Coast guys don't know how easy they have it :flipoff2:

That rock is like ice when wet and muddy. Looks like you slid across it at about 30 mph :eek: Definitely worth the download time :)


I remember when we were wheeling that a couple months ago and you told me something along the lines of "Once I get on that rock I try to hammer it across, 'cause if you sit there it slides you sideways and over". Kind of ironic how that is what happened. I'm assuming you're OK sice you're posting this, even though that hit looked like it was pretty damn hard :eek: I guess we all finally know how much it takes to flip a rockwelled Samurai whos COG is below it's frame :D AWESOME VID :beer:

Cool video man. I was Stuck at Crawfords saturday with a broken motor mount or i would have seen you. My buddy saw you out on top of Helicopter or school bus i cant remember what he said.

The Zuki's with me were 0 for 2 on slickrock Friday, it was hilarous. There was a broken one behind up as well. I shattered my Motor mount up the hill at the last rock before the intersection at the top of slickrock. I was towing a broken zuki and he got hung i did about a 6' wheel stand. I thought i was going over backwards then the front end slammed down & all hell broke loose.

Great weekend, Durham & a couple of RCCA/EROCC buggies were at crawfords all weekend. I have tons of pics of them on Slickrock and the rocks at camp. Good times:D

it is really deceptive isn't it! it's always that one spot right there that gets people. once you get in that tiney little hole just kiss it good bye. I have seen more rolls in that same spot, doing the same thing, and ended up the same way, then any other place!!!

it's amazing how much speed you will pick up while sliding side ways!!!

Man, your video isn't working for me right now! I wanna see it!

J. J.

Talk about looong download times! Looked like a wild ride Tim. Sounds like you are ok, and the rig doesn't look to messed up.

Guess you're wheeling now, no more ramp'n for you ;) :beer:

Nice video!:D

Cool vid! It took me about 20 minutes to download with DSL. The dialup guys are gonna hate it!!

I'm on a T3 line and i've got 43% downloaded in about 13 mins ...

fawk you guys:flipoff2: im on dialup and its been d-loading for almost 2 hours now:( 75%:eek:

cool vid, but what a fawkin down load. i am on a t1 and it took forever. glad to here you are fine, mike

it took about 30 mins. but was worth the wait.

that V8 sounds good man !

you skated off to the left like you had some place to be ! once it started going that way you were gone in the blink of an eye. :D

- jack

The rattlerock server is not responding to connection requests now... I want to see the video..

it's 3.3 mb madmarx, if your email will handle it i'll email it to you

- jack

Yea my email will handle it. Thanks Morpheus

on it's way ... your tax dollars at work :D

- jack

Yep and more tax dollars spent viewing it :-)

if someone will email it to me then I will host on my school webspace (tons of bandwidth with no limit) jeeper@utk.edu

That motor sounds good... Looks like it would have righted itself if ya could have popped it into reverse for a second.. But we're not all Durham's!!

That rock will bite ya before you even know what happened, glad to see you're OK though... :beer: for ya man!

I still think your rig is cool as hell...

If you can send to me. I'm know my AOL account wont handle it but maybe my EClayton08@pirate4x4.com account will.

finally downloaded it...man thats a hard lick, glad to hear you are alright.
If you don't mind me hosting it 350 samurai I will so people can download it faster.

It took me almost an hour to download it at work on a T1. More tax dollars at work by the way. That had to be one heck of a scare when it started sliding, looked just like it was on ice. I've seen that same manuver performed more than once when it rains up there like that. Glad to hear you're alright, that looked like quite a hit when it came over.

hmmm took me 30 seconds to download.... Your terrain is alot like B.C. wheeling rocks are one thing add water and mud......and its a whole new game.

Im guessing you have never wheeled on the west coast?

man that was a sweet download..... I only watched it 20 times.....

They don't call it slickrock for nothin

Sorry about the download times, my server isn't the best in the world. If any one wants to host it, feel free.

Well that only took an hour+. It was worth it. What a show, that thing sounds good and it can really move to left in a hurry

Edit: I'm using a cable line for my service

How long is the video? I just d/led it and it was only 7 seconds, I dont think thats the whole video.

http://web.utk.edu/~sbratto1/movies/
see if that works better

Holy shit man! Hope you had your arm in side the door!!! That looked like it hurt!! see what happens when you put a 350 in!!! :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

i play it over and over, and think you should have stopped on top of it.... instead of spinnin the shit out of it...
im not saying you need practice... i wasn't on the rig, maybe it was impossible without spinnin like that.... spinnin in my head means less control thats why. Hope you and the rig got out OK man.

You must have missed the :flipoff2: and got your panties in a bunch

I just got back from Farmington, much better traction than Tellico. I'll be spotting in RCAA and UROC next year , so I can get a better feel for stuff West of the Mississippi :D

Hey EMBRO, Are you that clueless?
We are talking about MUDDY SLICKROCK at Tellico in the rainy season.

GET A CLUE before you make a dumb comment like that.
ALL VEHICLES will spin on top of slickrock.

Yes I said ALL! I dont care if you have snow studs in your tires with carbide tips. You are going to spin.

:rolleyes: Newbies:confused:

Glad your ok. I have seen that 3 times so far, at the same spot. Same kind of roll too.

WTF are all you complaining about for download times? Took me less than 3 minutes.....lol.

Pays to live in a place with Lots o hightech shiat......lol

Damn that is some funny shiat! I really like the little kid crying out OW for you. Just knew it was gonna hurt!

Question though? Why didn't you let off the gas? Or did you and it was just to late? I would love to try that stuff.

LMAO

That's funny as hell, that wasn't a kid, that was my wife. :D

What's really funny is, right after that "OW" there was a lot quieter "fuck" and she rarely ever cusses, let alone says the "F" word.

If you let off the gas on that rock, for some reason, it pulls your front end around and then you have the chance of going down the hill sideways. I've seen that done before. I stayed in it hoping that it would catch some traction and go in a different direction than the one I was going. :)

Oh well, at least the damage wasn't too bad and no one got hurt.

Wow Tim!

That's a sweet vid! I wish I would have gone out Sunday morning with ya to see it.

Thanks for the help with Bobby's heep Sat. We eventually got it down Schoolbus early morn.

brian (yellow/primer CJ7 on boggers)

cool...pity there wasnt more carnage!!

glad to see the rockwells can stand it!!! :flipoff2:

Wouldnt mind gettin my ass kicked from "SlickRock" Maybe one day the good ole customs officer will let me thru the gate. :flipoff2: Ive done the side thing similiar to that, id say its a good BANG from what i see :D

kick ass video:eek: thanks for sharing

Oh Christ that was good! I needed that!

dayyyuuuuuuum son, that was incredible, it all happened to fast for you to react or do anything to counter, tough luck. motor did sound great and rigt looks stout, hope everything ok, just some body damage.

nice video, sorry about the damage, but that's how it goes.

no one can accuse you of not trying hard enough!

I downloaded the video in under a min so I don't know what you guys are talking about. Nice roll, but the only way to roll on slickrock in a fullwidth rig is if you are dunk or smoking crack. Myself as well as several of my buddies (including a narrowtrack YJ) have been up it in the DARK in the POURING RAIN after giving it hell. They just knew once they started sliding sideways not to GAS IT. Nice job though, oh wait. Mabye Hayman's driving school is your best best for lowering your insurance. BTW, pirate4x4 sucks, I don't have a life so I just sit on this board waiting to flame someone because my penis is 3in long.

Here are some more good pics of Slickrock so people can see it is just one big rock, and when wet it is very slick

http://www.rockcrawler.com/trailreports/telliconov99/part2/page4.htm

and another vehicle rolling, not a movie but pic by pic.

Hey you're from RRR. Didn't you guys post a link to your website a few weeks ago and everyone made fun of you guys for a few days. Yeah here's the homepage link in case everybody forgot. That was a funny thread :laughing:

RRR site (http://www.rebelrockrunners.org/welcome.html)

Other site rocks, its much faster, got it in 30 seconds on DSL.

Damn, that was a hell of a lick. Guy in our club with a nice Hybrid and mondo power rolled the opposite way at Dixie this year. My HS9500i kept me from rolling right where you started to get sideways. I blew the power steering pump at around 3500 rpm with 40's on a full size K5 and it decieded it wanted to go anywhere but where I wanted. Just got it stopped before going over. Got the winch hooked up and it slid and started over. Winch speed to the rescue, it caught me and pulled me back down. (whoee, talk about pucker factor)

So how much seat did they remove from your ass after that little spill? I am still shittin foam from mine!

yep that's the same ass hole! also the same bitch that was complaining b/c we took "to long" to get a vehicle off of upper two after it rolled. the driver was really shaken, the vehicle beat up, and the wife was complaining. but that didn't stop the asshole from complaining about it.

that's too wierd.. because this summer my buddy's buggy was parked by that fallen tree on slick rock.. it popped out of gear rolled down the hill, knocked me down, ran over my leg, i just got out of the way of the front tires, and then proceeded to bound down into my other buddy's cherokee.. slick rock has wierd vibes and vehicles don't seem to want to stay put..

You guys are idiots. I just love getting pirate4x4 wannabees riled up. All I have to do is post pissing someone off and they all chime in. Great stuff. Feel free to flame away. It's not like you idiots have anything better to do. Here's a link to another thread that you flamers will love. Hopefully your heads and egos will grow to even bigger proportions after you think you've made fun of someone.

BTW, GAJeep94YJ I've never seen someone roll on Upper 2, you must have me mixed up with someone else. Nice try though.

I see your memory is as fawked up as the rest of you, you don't remember your bitching about the "one way trails" at tellico?

sweet video, much better with the new connection. thanks mud pup. problem is, i wanna hear it but i'm at work and i know if someone hears the engine screaming i'll have a crowd in a moments notice. oh well, with the download speed i'll get it again at home.

a friend of mine rolled on the same line this past summer, but i missed it since we were late getting to the trail head that day. it started pouring just before he tried it and it was super slick. he had his sx's down to something like 4lbs and they still wouldn't grip for a shyat.

hey Bert !!!

my comment wasn't stupid, newbie, clueless, it was simply MY impression. how do you expect someone that never been to Tellico to know about it?
i never said i would go over it easily, i probably couldn't. but thats not the point, i was saying that spinnin mean less control. dont tell me its wrong, she spinned out of control and ended on its side. Now watch the video again and tell me im wrong, im sure she would say the same thing, YES it is probably impossible to dont spin on these rocks, i really cant say and wont comment on that.
dont take any opportunity to call people newbies only because they dont have hundred's of posts, that makes the board like all other, ie : full of hate and boring :mad:

I have DSL and it only took me 3.5 min to download.

Did you have your tires aired down for that at all? Sidewalls seemed awfully stiff.

:eek: Crazy ride! Glad to see no-one was hurt.

Thanks for leading our impromptu ride. I had a great time in
the "Lil Sammy That Could". We've been doing re-rides and mental-mods at work all week. Chomping at the bit to get back out. I have at least one mod for the Sammy. NEW seat vinyl. Pucker factor was high!

Later.

It is impossible to tackle/complete this obstacle when it is raining unless you spin you tires furiously. Not probably impossible, but totally impossible.

I actually witnessed a sprung over YJ with only a rear locker and MTRs go up slickrock while it was pouring rain, it only took him about 3 tries. He only had 35s. Not impossible.

I never said it was impossible :rolleyes: I said it was impossible without spinning your tires

"It is impossible to tackle/complete this obstacle when it is raining unless you spin you tires"

And if it took him 3 tries then he obviously spun his tires :flipoff2: I'm only talking about spinning tires.

Three minute download at work, I'm sure you had to throw away the skivs after that one! Did the virgin come out unscathed?

rain on slick rock....... wheel speed is a must..... and if you make it 3/4 up and she starts walkin across the face stay in in and try to get out of a bad situation....... if you let off the throttle (once sliding across the face) you will most likely roll also...... you CAN NOT walk on this rock when it is wet.......... like ice! and all of us just keep polishing it up... :D glad you ok 350sammy
