Cool vid DRTY, I dont think I could handle that!

Sweet Video! Thanks for posting,

ShaggyX 05-26-2005 02:44 PM

I am still trying to figure out why the H2 has such a hard time over that first major climb. I walked right up that first part and then got myself into trouble on the second part where you have to straddle that big hole. The H2 seems to have trouble with the first climb and cake walks the second part.

Must be driver error. Next time I will drive the first part and let DRTY drive the second part and it will be a piece of cake.

DRTYFN 05-26-2005 03:09 PM

I did? I don't remember that. I remember everything after the first bump as being pretty easy.
Shaggy, I kept catching my rock rail just before the break-over of the first climb.

I'm still pissed I didn't do Hell's Gate. It's getting done next trip.

This is what happens when the vehicle/driver isn't up to the task...BTW, great job DRTY!

ShaggyX 05-26-2005 04:35 PM

Thats the exact same thing that happened to me the first time I tried.

It's funny, I've seen lots of pics of rigs having the same trouble on that second ledge. It wasn't even really challenging compared to the first one.

When was that picture taken? Recently?

NoMoGMPG 05-26-2005 07:56 PM

Yep, the day after you made it up. We waited about 30 minutes for that truck to get out then gave up and went on to Tip Over Challenge. We were the "other" Hummer group there.

DRTYFN 05-26-2005 09:54 PM

30 minutes??? Really? Wow... I would have loved to have gone up right before him.
Have you seen or heard of an H1 doing this(I'm sure it has been done)?

ROX 05-26-2005 10:34 PM

N I C E! Good Job Drty! That was true Finness!

Ken: Don't worry about your chrome grill, they don't sustain damage as easily as black ones.

Kenny, even my ass isn’t big enough to cover the desert and hotel simultaneously… Close, maybe, but not quite.

Must be. But fear not, Shaggy, A good Anatomy/Physiology course should cover the basics for you.

Now, if I could just find Clarise...

I curiously searched and haven't found a mention of an H1 completing the escalator, the H1's width may be a factor. It looks like it would be mighty tight.

I have a feeling tower already has this one.

tower 05-27-2005 03:53 AM

LOL!!! I suppose you think it's easy navigating this forum with one hand!

DRTYFN 05-27-2005 03:58 AM

Maybe you should get one of those stick thingies that Christopher Reeves used.

Very nice. Seth's video certainly gives it a boost of drama. However, the pic below of you still gives me goose bumps.

1BADH2 05-27-2005 11:31 AM

Nice job DRTY

Listen coat-hanger boy, don't make me tell a certain story about you. Naked girl ring any bells?

ShaggyX 05-27-2005 01:36 PM

Actually no...it doesn't seem to ring any bells. Please tell the story, I am curious what you are talking about.

DRTYFN 05-27-2005 01:52 PM

Remember when she was changing into her bikini in Dennis' room and was standing there naked? I heard you started shaking like you were going to have a Grand Mal seizure. Maybe you had a mini spitting seizure in your pants.

h2co-pilot 05-27-2005 01:58 PM

Well, at least he had a reaction.

What was a naked girl doing in Dennis' room anyway??

ShaggyX 05-27-2005 02:00 PM

That would be funny...if it really happened. I have seen her naked before, just not in Moab. Naked is no big deal.

DRTYFN 05-27-2005 03:13 PM

Let Dennis tell it. It's funnier.

Maybe you went into a naked-girl-in-front-of-you trance and repressed the whole thing. Seeing a naked chick in front of you could be traumatic for you sensitive, wandering gheys.

ShaggyX 05-27-2005 05:50 PM

And this coming from Mr. Big Bad 4-Wheeler who just about wets himself on anything more than a 10 degree side slope. I have never heard an old man squeal like that from a little tilting.

30 degree, damn you coat tree-looking, questionable sexuality mop. Don't you have some sweeping to do?

partsguy (didn't know if I should use your real name in an open post),

This is why you need to meet us in Moab. I know, anniversary month. If you took a physical impression of Lions back and inverted it, you would have a decent approximation of Hell's Gate. Here are some pix, but they don't do it justice. It's a lot scarier in person and a lot scarier going down than up. The jeepsters were a great group and very friendly. They let me ride shotgun down in the black one and up in the yellow one.
