    Thanks again,
    Wondering if would be okay with you and @Checkers10160 that I bring my 7 month old black lab, he's still a puppy but pretty laid back and about a 7 out of 10 on the training scale.

    Although I love dogs, unfortunately my condo association does not allow them on the property.
    I suppose if we head out right away and nobody knows its here were good.

    @Ranger357 & @Checkers10160

    Great ride today guys:thumbsup:
    Much appreciated for the invite and getting me in 4low again:D
    Good times and I'm sure more to come.
    I didn't get a chance to take any pics of you guys on account of spotting but hopefully you got some of each other.
    I had to take this pic of me though because it's been almost a year since I've gotten to balance on a rock:amen:

    I had a really awesome time, thank you both so much! Rich, I would not have been able to do those rocks without you spotting, and Ken thank you so much for taking us!

    I definitely want to do it again and see if we can find more trails, or hit Cockaponset.

    Lexi and I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys today!

    @Skierrichy I'll try to get the videos of you uploaded somewhere too

    The pictures don't do the rocks justice... It was way scarier in person! I could not have done this without @Skierrichy spotting for me

    I'm not against it but you may want to hone your skills a bit more before wheeling at night.
    I just don't want to see you damage your truck.
    Don't be afraid to practice on things that aren't out in the middle of nowhere and practice taking the right lines.
    I feel you could and can do it but again I don't want to put you in a situation you may regret:thumbsup:

    You're probably right man, I totally understand. Hopefully we can make it to AOAA and get better! I really learned a lot from you today, thank you

    Good pics and no worries on the videos, I have plenty:thumbsup:
    It's not that I didn't have fun today but it was to easy.
    I like being recorded when either the wife gets out or I'm saying oh shit:rofl:

    I always try to help whoever whenever as long as they want to do it responsibly.

    I really was trying to listen to your instruction but this was easily the hardest trail I've done, combine that with doing it is a standard and I definitely struggled. I'll definitely work on my clutch control and keeping the lines you showed me. Ken and I were thinking of hitting Cockaponset soon and I'd love to learn more from you if you want to join! Happy to repay you in beer too lol

    No worries, you did awesome today.
    I know it's hard to begin with and then you throw all the stress and adrenaline into the mix and you think...
    WTF am I doing right now!:rofl:
    This is where trusting your spotter goes a long way.
    But your spotter better know what they are doing:fingerscrossed:
    Otherwise it's
    :mudding::bananadead:
