How NOT to SPOT !!!

The women freaking out on the side blew my minds. One chick had her head on straight, but there was a lot of pointless screaming of gibberish in the background.

Edit:

When you can't even get yourself into the entrance straight its a good sign you should call it quits. I can't believe they couldn't even get that far without screwing it up.

Also the guy with the hat looked like he was there the entire time.

 

is it just me or does it look like that thing rolled wayy too easily

 

I actually laughed during that part, but I can be an asshole like that at times.

 

It'll buff out.

 

yah cause in those states, they skip math 101 and go straight to... truckin!

 

Was the spotter drunk? Why and how the hell did he keep losing his footing. he stumbled like 3 times. I know hes on dirt and shit but fucks sake if he is having a hard time keeping both his feet on the ground how the fuck is he supposed to keep the jeep on its tires.

Hes waving his hands so damn much who knows what the hell is trying to tell the driver. I'd have stopped and gotten a new spotter when it was safe. You can tell the driver wasn't sure of the spotter either. Follow your gut when you don't feel somethings right.

EDIT - and the women screaming were annoying as fuck.

 

No - It's you. It's all about physics - It is VERY EASY to ROLL SOMETHING if you don't know what you are doing. Most fake it 'til they make it, some get trained to understand it, and others are just damn lucky. I'm a little of all three.

 

I wonder why she didn't take off the hardtop.

 

Cause she was uneducated and unskilled.

 

WOW! That was some really shitty spotting... Lucky they didn't barrel roll that sucker!

 

thats a scary ass hill lol. Ive seen that video a few times and im amazed it didnt roll all the way down.

 

haha. True that.

 

im sorry but the driver should have had more experience before attempting that hill... as soon as my tire slipped the first time going right i would have cranked those wheels to the left.

sure you can have an awesome spotter.. but when you mix a shiy spotter with a inexperienced driver is a no bueno.

 

It's one of my favorite down there!!!

 

All in all tho. That jeep handled the roll pretty damn well. Did you see the tires? Looked like Rugged Fails to me. Some wider tires and it may have turned out a little better

 

One thing I'm surprised no one brought up is WTF is going on at 6:45. Did they invite these guys along?

 

what an ass$!@#, but that lady shouldn't be driving either.

 

Wow, alot of varying opinions, most with valid points of view.

All I can add is I've never gone to any offroad school, I haven't read any books on the subject(subjects) at hand, not saying I couldn't benefit from it either & I've never worked as a test driver for any auto manufacterer.

Everything I've learned about offroading has come from my own experience (sometimes painfully) . Time,trial & error has been my teacher & if I've learned anything at all its this:

Common sense & decent driving skills are what has for me resulted in successful trail & obstacle negotiating

Am I successful everytime out? no
Would I try to take someone down a difficult section without being relatively sure about their skills ? Absolutely not

Would I myself try something I'm not real sure of ? probably not, depends on the situation at the time.

Tools needed for success: 85-90% driver skills 10-15% vehicle

participants in video lacked in the driver/spotter skills department.

Thats all I got to say about this........ happy trails...

 

I was going to correct your spelling, but in a strange way you've chosen a more appropriate word

 

why was the spotter giving direction right before the roll from the complete side of the vehicle and not in view of the jeeps path? What a tool.
