Bored? The Funlands video is UP!!!!

[shipbldr]

Hello HummBebe,

You're right about day 2... much less apprehension and lesser obstacles.

Still, it looks like soon we're going to get a chance to watch a couple of drivers who really know what they're doing go at it through the Funlands.

That will be some great wheeling to see.

[jaybird]

dennisajc and paragon, you guys must have extremely small penises, since you have to substitute your massive SUV's for your manhood! The better part of four wheeling skill is knowing the limits of your machine, and driving within them! Apparently, you think it's okay to beat the piss outta something to make it look like you know what you're doing. I guarantee that the funland would be beyond your skill level.

Back the tree thing...

I see the whole tree thing from a different angle too.

I guess I got jaded about the whole chainsaws and trees cut down thing.

I must have become "tree insensitive" at work... you see... a couple of twigs at the Funlands aren't the first to die for my Hummer...

Here's picture from "the yard" at "work"

so... let the whining about dead trees roll in!

I think it took about 310 acres of clear cut trees to pay for my Hummer....

And yes... now that you mention it I probably could have winched off of somethings, but no we didn't care to waste the time.

But it is a point taken, and will be in the back of my mind.

My main thought about trees is that they "grow back".

Different world views I guess.

What a crock of <span class="ev_code_BLACK">s</span>hit. Analogizing the lumber business with treading lightly on trails is absurd.

It’s obvious you live back East where most of the public OHV trails have been closed for years and most wheeling (if not all) is in OHV parks or on private land. Ever wondered why we don’t have to put big ugly red flags on our vehicles when we wheel out here? It’s because we wheel on public land and we still have the right to drive on a designated ROWs (right of way).

Out here in the West we are fighting everyday with environmentalists to keep our public lands and trails in places like Moab and the Colorado Rockies open for OHV use. Most of the arguments used by environmentalists are exemplified by demonstrating that OHV use wrecks the land. Such examples typically show some fool driving over something which takes years to back. An extreme case in the high Rockies is arctic tundra, however they will often take any information (pictures and video) they can find and twist it out of context to further their cause.

In actuality the vast majority of wheelers out West are good stewards of the land and respectful of the environment and cause (I know the group that hits up Moab twice a year from this forum is). It’s the smaller minority of people that will eventually cause our trails to be closed. Some of these people are simply uneducated and the rest are idiots.

Tell you what, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and take your "grow back" attitude as the latter.

alec, i understand your point on this. in utah there are not many trees... in the west alot of land is owned by the government... in the east alot of the land is private ownership, mainly for logging industry income. alot of private owners do not want vehicle on there property for liability reasons, the ones that do are real specific about not affecting trees that have logging value. its just alot different out here... i have never blazed a rail, but we have built trails on numerous private properties, alot of places i go, you could not fit a quad through with out cutting a few trees down.

now we can look at pictures and videos and say moab is hardcore, sure, the angles can get extreme... thats because the traction is plentiful. throw some loose dirt/mud to the mix and its just as hard if not harder, even though the "angles" arent as extreme...

now go ahead and bash me again, when im am trying to be open minded and put another view point out there.

And I bet the trails chosen would be the narrow trails that rodeo could fit through and the H2 could right?

So let me ask you this, if the hummer club had a private off-road park would they invite me out in my trail rig, especially with no insurance policy, no fee's, fairly loose rules like wheelin after dark and so on? I think not! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Just because you assume something does not make it true. Most members here go out and wheel with whatever anyone brings along and don't care. Give one concrete reason why you would make that assumption.

Personally I hope to see more private developements opening up around the country, I think this whole thing got a little overblown based on SOME of the content of a video that I can honsetly say I didn't watch all of (I couldn't sit through Titanic either...both were waaaaay to freakin long for my short attention span).

Anyways, just my 2cents...

S </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Honestly, I haven't watched the video...... not a bit. Don't need to because of some of the positions certain individuals have taken in this thread. I am simply responding to the idiotic justifications based on some of the different views on the video.

I don't have to threaten you Alec. You merely stated that you are used to dealing with guys who can talk **** here but run and hide from you in person.........I definitely won't be hiding from you.

[shipbldr]

Dennis,

There's a big difference between sackless and reckless.

I don't need to wreck my truck to feel like a man or prove who I am.

Actually I'm pretty proud of the fact that I think my way through things, work along, and am not too proud to accept a tow (or winch out) as I explore the limits of my truck.

I clearly do not accept the possibility of 100% carnage. Never said I did.

When you have a 250 mile drive home and no trailer... why risk transmission loss.. When you know you can get a tug of you need it?

I not not here to impress you or live up to your standards. I am here to enjoy my truck.

What exactly is it that you have to prove by dumping on me?

You are clearly insecure and trying to prove yourself by crapping on others.

You might have an great truck.
You might be willing to wreck it on the trail.
You might have a lot of experience.

But in the end, your willingness to dump on me and other here at the board proves 1 thing

On the inside you are an INSECURE PUSSY that constantly worries about how he comepares to others.

Go F*** yourself. I am not here to live up to your standards. Neither is anyone else on the board.

This is about having fun, and you are not helping.

You are exactly what most of the newbies on this board need to try to avoid.

Go back to the mall.

[Psychobilly]

if you guys were not such rookies you would reccognise team hotpursuit. Being the rookies you are though you cant see out of your little world here. You guys are like a 5th grade flunky challenging a masters educated engineer in math compition. In your 5th grade flunky world you can multiply a few numbers and since that is all you know you think you just know everything. In the world of wheeling Dennis, you are the 5th grade flunky. I'm not on the level of Hotpursuit but I am still an expert level wheeler in this hobby, I can line my vehicles up on any trail in this country, any fawking trail, I've donr the time, I've busted my knuckles, I've put forth the effort to get to that point, I didnt just pretend to be me. You get to be an expert by earning it, you have not earned anything, you dont even respect your fellow h2 buddies. Sorry, you want to be more than a 5th grade flunky quit talking your **** and earn what you think you you have coming. Do you have to accept my challenge, no you would be a fawking idiot too but you can start by respecting others in the hobby. I dont think your **** because of your attitude, you may fool a few other rookies but your not fooling Rob, charles or me. I see your ride, its a stock H2 and it looks clean. Charles H2 looked clean but he had dents in the thing. I can tell you for a fact too the voodoo trail he was on at paragon would show you a whole new world of wheeling. Your not even hardcore on here dennis, guys like charles push their vehicles capability more than you do. You know what too, since you have to drive to a different country to do your wheeling I would think charles has more seat time than you do anyway. Earn your respect and you will get it but dont try to pretend or you will just look like a pussy.

How is owning both, and having an opinion based on that, one-sided?

You can't answer this question so just leave it alone. I'm sure there's others out there who have both so let's just let them chime in. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Maybe you need to go back to smart school. An opinion, by natural conclusion, is one-sided. It's YOUR opinion, regardless of your experience, ownership, sexual orientation.

Ever hear of a novel editing technique called "cropping"? Holy f*cking Christ, that was a looooong as "movie". And that bitch, Connie Chung, wouldn't even give me the $5 Viet Cong wang rub during it. She fell asleep. Well, so did my shriveled old pecker. Oh well.

Take that axe and sit on it.

[rockking]

I didn't see any difficult trails mentioned there......what about lower and upper helldarado.....everything else is the same trails that all vehicles (jeeps, sami's, bronco's, etc) run.
Hummer Club's opinion of obstacles is in no way the guidance. They're primarily interested in everyone just having a good "family" time together and not necessarily pushing the vehicles to their limits.
I will applaud you for your aggessive wheelin and definitely see you as one who's willing to push their truck. Again, don't be offended because of my opinion between the H1 and the H2. There are vehicles out there that make the H1 look like crap on the trails, however alot of H1 owners won't admit it.

By the way, where's that 1% where the H1 can go and the H2 can't?

Shipbuilder,

Watched the video right after your posted. Great wheelin. I am originally from NH and can't wait to get my H2 back home for some good ole wheelin fun. Right now I live in Oahu, Hawaii and the only off road I get to do is maybe at the beach. It sucks but in a couple years will be out having a great time. Thanks again for the great video
