BTR and Pritchett? I would love to ride with you, but I don't want to have my daily driver towed home in boxes.

I think the 3's are great all around wheelers, but those (4+) extreme trails are better suited to Mad Max lookin rigs. Right after JS they will probably be heinous with all the buggies going through there, shoot video!

Awwee, they're not that bad...

Nose Dive on BTR's. There is a two foot drop at the bottom.

These are from White Knuckel Hill. It is my understanding that most of the Jeeps run BTR backwards so they can climb this obstacle. There is no bypass. The trick is to have a great spotter, lower yourself down as far as you can, inching your way as far down as you can, then you have about a 2.5 foot slide. If you have a heavy front end, you will hit a little harder than others. In the first two pictures, we tried to go to the left side. Don't try this-it didn't work. All he did was spin around till he almost rolled. We ended up winching him back up and went the usual route down the middle. These are from 9/06. The previous year, there was a Hummer who hit too hard and pushed his winch up into the radiator. I'm not sure what model it was though.

Did you try to control the slide at all with a strap or winch line on the rear?

There are quite a few videos of this and Upchuck on YouTube. This one doesn't look that bad.

No winch line or strap. No, it's not that bad if you are in the right position. I have lots of video of it but have not posted any. I need to get it edited and make some clips. I did not see any clips of Hummer's posted on this obstacle.

I found some vids of other rigs going down WKH. I see the slide you're talking about and how the obstacle got its name. Can't wait
