Man I could spend hours watching roll-over vids on You Tube lol...

[Triathlete]

That vid has been around here before. Usually pops up around Moab time. Lesson to learn...trust and listen to your spotter.
Todd Adams knows the girl that was driving. She had just put the cage in her jeep before that trip. She was able to drive it out.

_S_H_Q!!!











poop happens quick!

[Bob Barker]

Ouch! That jeep got it's butt kicked!

Here's a little trivia question.

We've had several VXs make successful runs at Hells Revenge. How many VXs have gone down and out of Hells Revenge. Oh yeah, just to make it a little harder, can you name them?

Peace.
Tom

[Triathlete]

I can name them all and in order. Just to verify though you are talking down the entrance and up the exit or do you want those that have gone down and up the entrance? I even know of one that did both!:bwgy:

[tomdietrying]

Going down the entrance and up the exit is the only way to get credit for Hells Revenge.
Peace.
Tom

[Triathlete]

Actually, having done both, I think coming up the entrance was harder!:yesy:

In order...
1 Grandpa Bob
2 VCamilo
3 Tomdietrying
4 Me...could of been 2 but I came up the entrance 1st time
5 Big Meat
6 JoFoto

[tomdietrying]

Billy,
I have two questions. I know #2, #3, and #4 took place in 2006. #5 and #6 was in 2010. I can't remember when Grandpa Bob did his. Was in 2002 or 2003?

I guess my last question would be are there more trail scuffs and scratches coming out of the entrance or coming out of the exit. I'm guessing coming out of the exit.:yesy:

Peace.

Grandpa Bob did it some time before I started going and before VX.info's time (during the old VMag era).

You tell me...:bwgy:

Lots of VX owners have been on the Hell's Revenge trail, but the only way to get credit is to do Hell's Gate? First I heard of this...
Guess I had better strip that sticker from my VX... :(

[Bob Barker]

So once you crawl up it, is the only way out to go back down it?

[Ebenezr]

Ha ha ha. You guys. More power to you. I would sit up on a rock and watch rather than chance my body taking a beating like that lady in the jeep.

[Triathlete]

GIL...you can keep your sticker. Tom is talking about completing Hells Gate. If he was talking about the way you thought then no VX has complete Hells Revenge since none have been up Escalator...yet!:winky:

Bob B...the Gate is down the entrance and up the exit.

Eb...what's the fun in that?

[Ebenezr]

Eb...what's the fun in that? The fun I guess would be watchin someone else trash their side panels rather than I. I also like all my bones to remain properly connected. Remember anatomy class "well the knee bones connected to the leg bone and the leg bones connected to the hip bone and so on" yes I don't want to change the order of those connections.

one thing that people dont realize that dont come to moab is the closeness of the group that does.

we all trust each other very much, and wouldnt put each other into a situation that would danger each others lives.
in fact, look up the escalator, if billy told me that he could get me up it safely and unscathed then i would go for it...

everyone in the group learns that their first year in moab. just ask mark ;)

[nocturnalVX]

Thanks Billy,

I knew there were some optional obstacles that I took a pass on (especially after I almost rolled on Tip Over Challenge), but I did NOT want to have to surrender my Hell's Revenge sticker. Just so everyone that has not been to Moab knows... there is a lot more to Hell's Revenge than Hell's Gate (and they are not the same thing). It is one of my favorite trails in Moab, and I did it for the first time in '02 when my VX was stock. Yes I did a Hot Tub with 18" rims & street tires! I don't have a pic, but here's one from '07...

I believe that. I just enjoy poking fun. and heckling a little. :winko:

[Bob Barker]

no VX's have been up escalator? Sounds like a challenge!



for someone else!

[RamAirZ]

Shoot if I can get this RS and get it up and running in time, I might come out and tackle it :) I was watching a vid where a stock H3 alpha did escalator. Those are some awesome pics Billy! That sucks with the cheap, bet she was crapping her paints! I know I would be

If a stock H3 (http://www.spike.com/video/hummer-h3-alpha/2966192) can do it, with the right spotter and right line, a VX could too.:yesy:

[pbkid]

well billy.... if i get my body armor done that im trying to get done, then you are my spotter sir....

i should have some serious protection for my rear 1/4's and taillights, which is where everyone seems to damage on escalator.

[Triathlete]

Just need to keep the tires on the walls and out of the holes.:yesy:

I think it would be much harder in a VX due to the shorter wheelbase...there is a spot where you would be nearly vertical in a short wheelbase vehicle.
