Let me preface these video's by saying that I am fairly impressed with some of the video's of the Xterra's and where people take them.  They maintain a fairly stock appearance for where they are being wheeled.

First video is an example of a skilled driver:

Second video is an example of someone that should have been left at home (in my opinion):

This last video is another example of some skilled driving and also being willing to scratch the paint:

I never thought about riding the crack to the right coming out of the Wedgie, I have always followed it left which creates a more mild wheel stand which is a great place for people to learn 3-wheeling since I doubt if it would be possible to roll.

I've been known to be a lot like 2 and 3 :gap: with all the speed I can muster and wheels coming off the ground either alone or in pairs.  :woohoo: (see avatar) That's my Chevy  :yikes:

:rofl2: :rofl2:  When I first started watching the second video I thought, "This looks like Brad, HAMMER DOWN!"  but then I remembered that your actually a pretty good driver as well and have made it through some crazy sh*t. That person had absolutely no clue what they were doing...


I dont know what driving style I'm closest too.

What I liked best was that the guy missed the correct line by a couple of feet.   :smack:

I've watched a very "stiff" Wrangler go up that with nothing but a limited-slip rear with just a little driving skill.  It certainly isn't the most difficult climb in the world, but oddly enough I made it cleaner with a limited-slip front than I did with the locker.  My line was off a couple of inches and it makes a difference.

the funny thing is that most of the damage to my truck was done crawling.  i try not to throttle down unless i have to.  and it is ussually controlled, i think.

i walked right up that last yr, and i was a little like the first guy, but he was a big puss when it came to the throttle, i atleast gave it a little gas, and i didnt slip a tire, back when i hav the 33 mtr's on it.

i also walked right up the escalator, and wasnt really too impressed with it, everyone makes a big deal out of it, but if u see the line to drive, its easy, i crawled allthe way up without stopping

I've pretty much always gone right up Tip Over Challenge, but I missed the line on the Excalator and created some damage on the rear corner.  It has been closed every time after that so I have not had the opportunity to find the correct line.  It's one of those spots that looks fairly simple, and is if you hit the line.
