yes, when you are out of the truck, guiding me undamaged over the rocks, you would tell me to steer to the pasenger side or drivers side instead ofyou saying go left, and me not knowing whether you mean my left, or your left get it no

she is only slow when she runs, I promise.

She is smarter than I am otherwise, something that shines through prety much everytime I open my mouth

Rockhoppa · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 23, 2005, 08:58:39 AM »

The most important thing is to keep the rubber side down.. Ask blackdog to take ya to some comp's so you can see how the pro's do it. As for me and most people here ( yeah, I know some of ya were born with it ) the best experience is trail time. When I first started I didn't know a lot about it, since than Ive taught myself to weld, and fix anything that can ( and will eventually ) break. Your still young so you have plenty of time to learn.. Its good to see more girls getting into it. I tell ya there is nothing sexier than a girl doing a trail repair.

to ya!!!

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 24, 2005, 11:26:32 AM »

the hammer is for hitting me, and the wrench is for throwing at me( it has better balance) when I am out of reach.

A couple of things for spotting. The most important thing is trust between the driver and the spotter. Since the driver can't see, they must trust the spotter 100%, second guessing the spotter usually ends up poorly for the truck. The second most important thing to spotting, is that once the spotter gets outside of the rig, they are in control. The driver basically becomes the monkey behind the wheel, steering and applying gas as instructed, and only looking at the spotter. A third important thing to remember is there is to be only one spotter, and the driver should only listen to them, unless the spotter defers to someone else on the trail.

One other thing, try and not to get into the habbit(a bad habit IMO) of shouting which direction the driver should go, hand signals are far more effective, and is really the only form of communication needed while spotting(maybe I am just old).
