Unless you are James Brown (Eddie Murphy skit on SNL). Spectators on any track or trail are a bad idea. I race dirt bikes off-road and aim for them in the crappy sections.....you know they aren’t standing in mud lol.
Getting ready to type the same thing. First thing I tell anyone getting in my SXS is to never let go of the grab bar if we turn over. Never, ever, ever, but I know, its instinct. He was so close to saving it
Yeah when I saw it from the first angle I figured since he was OK he must have pulled his arm back in as soon as he rolled, but then I saw it from the other angle and it looks more like he just got lucky that the points of contact were elsewhere. I agree with the people saying he probably could have made it out all the way if it weren't for the spectators but that arm out the window tells me he's the kind of guy who freezes up in those situations.
That's not being a hero. Doing dangerous things for fun, while not hitting other people doing dangerous things for fun isn't heroism. It's just fast thinking
Looks to me like that dude sacrificed himself for the people on the ledge. I betchu he was gonna jerk left, but refrained so he didn't mow those people/kids down. Hero
damn skippy had he not have to let off the gas at the end he might have been able to keep moving...........i was thinking he should have punched it right at the end maybe......toilet bowled it.....you ever watch the dirt bikes inside a huge sphere riding in circles and upside down.
I must be getting old - because now when I jump in my rig, I just want to have fun but my idea of fun is not destroying a $30K rig that I worked my ass off to buy. You'all must have a lot of $.
Yeah I’m 23. I’ve wanted one of these machines since I was a teenage and finally got one. And instead of being crazy with it, I’ve been babying my machine and stay on good trails. People are insane
You all probably dont care but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@@0xsergy no the second he felt he was gking back in he needed to take both hands off and grab his 4 point. Thats what is taught in rally cross. If yiu have the time to think take your hands and cross your arms over your chest.
People always dog on the factory cages (YXZ justly deserved). That Turbo S cage just took a 10ft offset drop on its top on completely unforgiving rock and the driver walked away. I'd say it did it's job 👍🍺🍻 Very glad he walked away.
I totally agree it did it job and will in most cases. But no doubt about it an aftermarket cage would have put him in much better shape. The thing folded and hit his head. An aftermarket one might not look great after that kind of hit, but would have looked alot better.
Despite the final crash James demonstrated some very quick thinking as he avoided driving into his friends atop. Everyone figured they were well out of the expected trajectory. What a surprise, and it happens. Technically, he did make it! 👍
It mystifies me why people even try these types of stunts. I proves nothing, results in ruined equipment and injuries and just costs money. And where are the harnesses, helmet, gloves, etc. Pure stupidity.
From the start, this driver shows very little confidence or control. No helmet with arm resting on the door is a never an option! Glad he’s ok and hope others learn what not to do. That was 100% over before it started!
I think too many people don’t understand what a helmet does. Your brain smashing against your skull as it hit something hard is what causes most brain injuries, Our brains “float” in our skulls so are prone to injury when it impacts the skull when the skull rapidly decelerates. A helmet mostly does its job with the padding and foam helping the skull decelerate more gently and over a longer distance so the brain doesn’t smash into it and cause permanent injury. ANY activity where your head can hit something hard and with velocity requires a helmet. At the least, your head can hit the rollbar in a RZR, at the worst, it can hit the ground or a rock or any number of things that can kill or injure you. Having fun shouldn’t include risking pointless death or permanent brain injury.
NEVER go to Moab without a helmet. I go to mountain bike, and I cringe when I see people there riding without helmets. Mine has saved my life more than once. Even the pros wear helmets, and we aren't as good as them!
Why does the polaris have such a difficult time tackling this? Is it like a center of gravity thing? Is too much lift a bad thing? I just watched a video of a Rhino taking it without breaking a sweat--that thing looked like a golf cart
I did this exact obstacle about five years ago in a Rubicon. It definitely gets your attention. You have to straddle on the way out which you can't really see in the video. I know nothing about driving the type of rig in the video but I feel as if it might have just been too light. That's a shame I'm glad everyone ended up being ok.
That’s the Devil’s Hot Tub actually, Mickey’s is down the trail a short bit, it’s smaller and narrower, but still a good challenge. Gnarly ass crash, glad he’s ok. It was slimy from the heat last week for sure, tough time to climb it.
If he didn't fall back into the bowl, he was going to go flipping backwards into the bowl, he was just lucky his back tire caught the lip to end up on the rim. Once committed and gas matted, he was just a passenger & along for the ride. Spectators had nothing to do with it.
Just a reminder to keep both hands on the wheel. It keeps your arms in the roll cage and as tough as you are you can't strong arm a a UTV over rocks anyway.
It was super hot and the rubber build up was slimy all last week, there just wasn't much grip to be had at all. He was a little too heavy on the throttle, but the LF axle breaking at the top was the real killer.
Glad he is ok! Devils hot tub is no joke. Personally Id never hit it in a 2 door. Gotta watch that go pedal on it, Ive seen a Grand Cherokee flip over backwards from the top onto its roof at the bottom there. Hit so hard on its roof at the bottom it broke the engine from the mounts.
I think don’t he was trying to save anyone on the rim. It’s clear he had no control at that point his mind was in survival mode and hitting gas for all he was worth hoping for a miracle ending. Glad no one was hurt.
I agree... he was too off-camber to save it, even if the people hadn't been there, he was out of control. Drove me nuts the way he had his arm hanging out half the time and was wearing no helmet. Call this what it was -- nearly a Darwin moment.
Great learning video for sure... spectators should learn too stay out of the way because he might have had a chance of all the people at the top weren't standing right in his way.
Another one bites the dust... I am glad he was not seriously injured. I had a professional tour guide who took me through Hot Tub. I couldn't even see where the heck we were going as we climbed up. It takes a brave/skillful driver to drive through Hot Tub in my book. By the way, when we went through Hot Tub, it had rained the day before. The mixture of oil and water at the bottom of the pit made it challenging to climb up but Dave Hillman with his experience and skills made it look easy.
that was different for sure but i dont really think he was quite with it he was looking totaly left when he was going right and just didnt correct it panicked glad it turned out well for him
Hey Big Red. Can you contact me about using a 10 second clip of this video in a Sand Flats / Hells Revenge Orientation video? I sent you a message via Messenger on your FB channel. Thanks!
@@bigred1032 it ain't worth it brother. you might make it out first try. or you might be in there for hours putting wear on the tires, engine, and every other part of your machine while everyone else laughs. offroading is pointless but to offroad into a known hard spot in a SWB machine that has a tendency to try to roll backwards is silly.
Before anyone jumps on this comment, this isn't criticism. Almost looks like had people not been standing there, and he stayed in it he would have made it out. Seems like him stopping to avoid hitting anyone caused the fall back in. That said, no reason anyone could have known it could play out like that and he'd be heading back that way. Crazy video, glad he is ok
Admitting he was wrong is a good start. Total resect. Now inertia is everything, he should have backed up higher and kept doing that back and forth until he could have gotten out.
I am glad he is ok but sure looks like serious driver error to me. I have done it on my Rover and he might have backed up and get some momentum and of course control his wheels. It appears to me that one arm was outside the window.
At first I thought more inexperienced than worst ever, however that double roll with a twist was a solid 8.5. Try it with 4 feet of water, thats when the epic happens
he's very lucky he did not lose part of his left arm. Never ever stick your arm out of a vehicle when rolling over. It's hard enough keeping them in anyway. That's why they have window netting for when you want to do extreme Maneuvers rather than just trail ride. And there is a difference . When I see those riding / driving beyond their abilities theirs or their machines. And especially with the hi horsepower today it reminds me of why they started to Outlaw three-wheelers. People doing it just because somebody else did is never a good reason.
This was 100% him trying to avoid hitting everyone. This is why you never stand too close at the hot tub.
Unless you are James Brown (Eddie Murphy skit on SNL). Spectators on any track or trail are a bad idea. I race dirt bikes off-road and aim for them in the crappy sections.....you know they aren’t standing in mud lol.
He wasn't going to save that regardless of the spectators, he was going over regardless.
@@andrewjames5373 Agree
Yup if he gunned it on the rim and drove out he would have made it.
@@andrewjames5373 No he rolled in because he stopped.
Keeping your arms inside the vehicle is a good idea too....................
for sure

Too many spectators in the way.
Spectators are watching from the way out so try to avoid and go back inside.
Yea he had it had to stop because the plp thats what it looked like to me
most drivers don’t screw up that bad by doing a whole 180 towards the spectators
That’s what I was thinking stay in it and bail out but people in the way killed it.
damn skippy had he not have to let off the gas at the end he might have been able to keep moving...........i was thinking he should have punched it right at the end maybe......toilet bowled it.....you ever watch the dirt bikes inside a huge sphere riding in circles and upside down.

Na they just dumb
6:38 That was so hard to watch seeing him roll with his arm gripping the out side of the door.
Man that was crazy!! As someone who has tried that bugger of an obstacle more then once it's a crazy climb! Glad the driver made it out fairly okay
He made it out to tell the tail. Thats what matters

Keep your hands and arms in the vehicle at all times. Kills me watching these folks start to roll and hang an arm out.

Man I’d love to try that obstacle... in someone else’s rig.
Its not that bad of one
I feel sorry for no one that doesn't wear proper safety gear. Kinda has shitty friends too. That would let him try.
From the start, this driver shows very little confidence or control. No helmet with arm resting on the door is a never an option! Glad he’s ok and hope others learn what not to do. That was 100% over before it started!
Easy to see how he would ve made it around and out but those DAMN people didn't leave him space at all ... It was savable
For Sale: side by side LOW miles, adult driven, pampered, garage kept.

ya i saw that and changed it in the description. thanks!
A-Holes standing in the way made him fall back in.
My dude is lucky to still have that arm seeing how at 7:08 it was still exposed and the impact was 7:09
While he's being checked out. Was his head examined. needed that before the attempt
When he rebuilds his machine he needs to put a handle to hold on to INSIDE the thing. (He was rolling over with his hand and arm out the window.)
Thanks for sharing man. Glad your buddy is ok.
I appreciate it

Just a reminder to keep both hands on the wheel. It keeps your arms in the roll cage and as tough as you are you can't strong arm a a UTV over rocks anyway.
Looks like it will buff out.
Just curious what tire pressure he was at. Didn't look like he was getting much grip at all
Joy Fizer dude that obstacle is steep and deep just the fact that he made it that far is really impressive.
It was super hot and the rubber build up was slimy all last week, there just wasn't much grip to be had at all. He was a little too heavy on the throttle, but the LF axle breaking at the top was the real killer.
i think he was around 10 pounds but the video does that no justice. thing is basically a strait up wall
money does not equal brains,and you guys have been at this how long?
i hope they went back down there and cleaned up all the trash that fell out.. you know, Tread Lightly
And keep your arms inside the unit

The problem is that he made big turns when climbing, he got scared so he aggressively turned back and forth. Your supposed to make little movements
no, he did everything he had to do in that situation, he wouldn't have fallen back in the pit if it wasn't for the spectators in the way.
Why do they all keep their arm outside the vehicle..

@@clsboo2348 That's true, but I have gotten out of situations about as bad in a 1983 Hinda civic. So, yeah, it's about understanding the physics. 🤷
He had no awareness of where his wheels were pointing.
4 years later....
that is what roll cages are made for.. if you go extreme please use the correct protective gear
He was 100% out. He let out of it and steered passenger to avoid spectators.
How did nature even make this structure?
Seems like a pretty rookie move to put your arm outside the vehicle.
Also he's going the wrong direction while climbing the right line is key.
The stock cage is still better than no cage, but not as good as aftermarket.
The spectators saw him and moved out of the way. I dont think he turned away, He just didnt make it. Great try.
I don't think you were watching the same video as me. They are right there. Get some new glasses.
@@AimForTheBushes908 Stop smoking pot.
I can see very well and don't need glasses at all, I think he couldn't make it, simple as that.
A better approach would be use some of the momentum from the downhill and hit the hill immediately after the decent.
Why’s he look like he’s on the verge of crying the whole video
Definitely got a little throttle happy. Glad he is ok.
Almost had it!
ya saw the finish line lol
Breaking an axel didn't help either. Looks like that's what shot him to the right.
Hold my beer.
Imagine if he turned to the left and saved it.
Everyone would be like well damn.
At first I thought more inexperienced than worst ever, however that double roll with a twist was a solid 8.5. Try it with 4 feet of water, thats when the epic happens
If he let some air out of his tires he would have got more traction
We had a guy lose an arm last year. Crushed and nearly tore it off. Was hanging by some flesh!
that sucks sorry to hear
I think he would have made it if he would have taken those storage boxes off before entering
That was intense. Glad the driver is ok.
cheese for brains
At the top he turned his wheels to the right and went over. If he had turned them to the left he might have made it.
He steered back into the hole to avoid running those people over.
Fairly used Polaris Rzr for sale. Few scratches...
So he did it once it was “ok” did it again then crushed it...
how do you drag this on 9 mins? trying to go up the most steep hill in a car is the dumbest sport possible....
If anything speed and power is not your friend!
He would have had it if he hard turned into where those people were standing.
It left a few new "skid marks" mostly in his drawers !
Glad the driver is ok. Hopefully he had insurance. People standing way too close and not getting out of the way fast enough.
he's very lucky he did not lose part of his left arm. Never ever stick your arm out of a vehicle when rolling over.
