The bdrunner goes to Moab 2011
« on: May 07, 2011, 03:13:56 PM »
I've finally taken the time to pull a few pictures from the trip to post on the forum.  I tried to get them in the order they were shot on the trip.  Without further ado...

From Steel Bender and Cliff Hanger.  I don't have any pictures from the Moab Rim since it was a quick trip and we came down in the rain.

Poison Spider Mesa and some great pictures of Josh.  We met Josh during the week.  He was part of Volcom's crew and we managed to get a few great pictures of his rig.

I drove my 85 truck on that with 32's a short lift and everything else stock.  I think it's only a challenge in either a Hummer (I've seen pictures) or possibly a short wheel base rig might make it more interesting.  It's always easier than it looks.  The road is really plenty wide.

Here's a few video captures from some video's that I got today.

The first is what happens if you run the crack on Up Chuck Hill.  My passenger side rock slider was hard on the rocks keeping me safe.  After watching the others take the standard straddle the crack line I tried this one.  I ended up taking the standard line.

The second is what happens if you get a bad angle on the bottom ledge/rock on High Dive Hill.  My passenger side rear tire didn't want to climb and kept pushing me in a direction that I didn't want to go.  It took a couple of rounds of backing up, the second of which was scary for the driver as the front end got extrememly light, to get a line that would climb.  I wasn't brave enough to back off completely so we had to work with the first bad approach.  When backing down the second time I was about an inch from telling the spotter that I wasn't backing up any more when he gave me the green light to go forward.

The last two pictures are of White Knuckle Hill and show the sheer size of the wall.  If you compare where the front tires are in the second picture you can see the same rocks, I believe, in the first picture.  I've climbed this in previous years, but not this time.
