I am still trying to figure out why the H2 has such a hard time over that first major climb. I walked right up that first part and then got myself into trouble on the second part where you have to straddle that big hole. The H2 seems to have trouble with the first climb and cake walks the second part.

Must be driver error. Next time I will drive the first part and let DRTY drive the second part and it will be a piece of cake.

I did? I don't remember that. I remember everything after the first bump as being pretty easy.
Shaggy, I kept catching my rock rail just before the break-over of the first climb.

I'm still pissed I didn't do Hell's Gate. It's getting done next trip.

This is what happens when the vehicle/driver isn't up to the task...BTW, great job DRTY!

Thats the exact same thing that happened to me the first time I tried.

It's funny, I've seen lots of pics of rigs having the same trouble on that second ledge. It wasn't even really challenging compared to the first one.

When was that picture taken? Recently?

NoMoGMPG 05-26-2005 07:56 PM

Yep, the day after you made it up. We waited about 30 minutes for that truck to get out then gave up and went on to Tip Over Challenge. We were the "other" Hummer group there.

30 minutes??? Really? Wow... I would have loved to have gone up right before him.
Have you seen or heard of an H1 doing this(I'm sure it has been done)?

N I C E! Good Job Drty! That was true Finness!

Ken: Don't worry about your chrome grill, they don't sustain damage as easily as black ones.

Kenny, even my ass isn’t big enough to cover the desert and hotel simultaneously… Close, maybe, but not quite.

Must be. But fear not, Shaggy, A good Anatomy/Physiology course should cover the basics for you.

Now, if I could just find Clarise...

I curiously searched and haven't found a mention of an H1 completing the escalator, the H1's width may be a factor. It looks like it would be mighty tight.

I have a feeling tower already has this one.

tower 05-27-2005 03:53 AM

LOL!!! I suppose you think it's easy navigating this forum with one hand!

DRTYFN 05-27-2005 03:58 AM

Maybe you should get one of those stick thingies that Christopher Reeves used.

Very nice. Seth's video certainly gives it a boost of drama. However, the pic below of you still gives me goose bumps.
