hey, i just wanted to say thanks for all those that are amazing spotters for everyone in moab yearly.
i went wheeling yesterday, which was a blast, but its really hard to be a confident wheeler if you dont have a spotter you trust.
There were quite a few things that im pretty sure my Yeti would of had no problem with, but i didnt feel like it was a good idea to try things without my trusty spotters.
so, should out to my moab spotter buds! :thumbup:
:wave:
Billy & Mark & Scott - you da men! :thumbup:
Couldn't have done it without you guys!!

Yikes, I can't find one with Scott! Sorry Scott...
Sue, you give me WAY too much credit. I don't know if I would trust myself to spot......myself......or however that should go.:p I mean, look at that first picture of me spotting you.....FROM BEHIND. How is that possible?:_confused
In all seriousness, I have no problem spotting the easier stuff and I learned by watching and listening to other great spotters out in Moab (Billy, Jack, Todd), but I'm still not too confident spotting some of the really difficult stuff such as the waterfall on Hello Kitty Canyon....Ummm, I mean Steel Bender. There's a good shot of Jack (with Orion in the background), that shows what happens when your spotter isn't doing his job right. I know you've seen the picture of Jack with his drivers side wheel ten feet in the air (someone post it please). After seeing that I was a little nervous, to say the least, to attempt that line, but Jack got me down in one piece with no problems, so KUDOS to you too Jack.:thumbup:
DANG, now y'all got me all fired up and ready to head back out to Moab. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait....
Yup...a big THANKS to al the spotters that have saved my (Y) !

Dang, every time I see that picture it gives me the willies. It totally looks like you're ready to do a summersalt in your VX. I know I would have needed to change my shorts after that....way to drive out of it Jack.
X2 on that. Scary!!!Quote:

But either way, there is a better line down that general area...but what the heck, he survived and now it is a really cool photo.
The "wall" is so much easier!:yesy:
Just drive straight...hard on the brakes...slide to the bottom:bwgy:

Yeah, that is a simpler descent...as long as you aren't too sensitive about yer cladding.
It's only plastic!:bwgy:
Besides, isn't that what line-x was invented for...to cover the scratches/gouges? :yesy:
