Here is a 20MB (really big for those with dial-up) movie of me going over this obstacle with the club. I have to thank Charles for filming me.

Tried opening the movie with no luck, then tried saving it - got 6kb in about 2 minutes on my cable connection so I'll try again later. Where did you guys go wheel at? I remember from my time at Tech that there were some promising places I always wanted to try.

Dude, I think you need to host that movie on a better server, I'm getting about 0.2KB/sec download speed and I'm on a very fast connection!

Also, you should've posted your mud-bog pics in the rig of the month competition, that looked like fun!

Im hosting it on my school's network server. I guess I should try my personal Server for it, but I would have to make it smaller before I did that.

For some reason my browser decided to download your movie (at 0.2KB/sec!) overnight last night which is cool. I guess it automatically retried after I'd cancelled it.

That's an awesome video mate. Your rock rails really paid for themselves I reckon. Did you do much (any?) damage to your rear bumper or underside?

And what does "riding the hook" mean? That is what they're saying isn't it?

My toe hook in the rear was dragging and preventing any damage to the bumber (other than a few minor scapes)

We went to Quebradas. Sorry I didn't see that question earlier Corwyn.

'S alright, I was just curious. Is that kinda southeast of Bosque del Apache Wildlife Reserve? I've looked at that area when I'm driving by but never had the opportunity to go out there.
