    20101016 Boulder dash/ On the Rocks

    hangin with the FJC crowd today and saw alot of money out rock bashing...a little nightmarish driving skill and some close calls, but everyone made it out. Me and steve had a good time as usual trying to take the hardest lines possible/impossible. one line in particular gave us hell when a large rock cut loose in the middle of my run. this forced me up the silly hard line and forced Steve to back up and follow so as not to be outdone. luckily i had rotated the rock in such a way to completly destroy the line. unfortunately Steve still bagged it with the help of a strap to avoid a flop .
    big thanks to Mike "MKjeepers" for leading us through another one of his creations. hes more patient then i ever could be with new wheelers. i do get the feeling he enjoys crawling through some tough stuff and then watching everyone trying to follow haha. he runs a short arm lift jeep on 35"s. its the perfect tool for cougar buttes

    cougar buttes never disappoints. if the hammers are the Disney world of rock crawling then cougar buttes is six flags. the terrain is all some sort of granite that crumbles and flakes under tires or metal. for instance if your trailer hitch drags it will score a huge gouge in the rock and suffer only half as much damage as you would imagine. its got lines for stock vehicles on up to national championship rock crawling.

    you guys would love it! Marc you'll want sliders and a locker. thats about all thats required to have a great time there

    Cool videos! Looks like you guys had a blast! I love the part of the video when Scuba is getting tippy and someone says something like, "Oh you're in the danger zone" haha.

    Oh and did the two of you plan on wearing matching shirts? :P
