Army Wheeling Video Page
The annual Fall for All event hosted by the Central Alabama Offroad Society took place at Gray Rock ORV Park from October 24th to the 26th. What a great event. There were more than 600 rigs on hand ranging from mild to REALLY wild! The weekend started off with some rain but blew over by about 3 pm Friday afternoon. This was just enough to make the trails really slick! We got a lot of video of the event. Click on one of the links below to check out our trip.
1. Saturday Morning Video of the guided trail ride Saturday morning.
2. Bents and Dents Carnage This is one of the harder trails where we watched some of the action unfold. When we walked up we saw a buggy on it's side so we had to stop and check things out for a while. It was a great show!
3. Oops...flip flop! Sean flips his Jeep on its side at Gray Rock ORV!
4. Sunday Morning Our last day of wheelin' was probably the most fun. This video shows us taking off and finding a pretty slick trail. It wasn't too hard but the rain made it impossible to climb without pulling the winch out.
March of Dimes at Morris Mountain ORV Park, Alabama (August 2008) - This was the first time Sean got his "new to him" Jeep on the trail. We participated in the March of Dime Trail Ride hosted by Offcamber4wd.org at Morris Mountain ORV park. Kris and Randy Morris, owners of the park, donated the park for this event. We had a great time and will definitely be going back for another trip.
Memorial Day 2008 (Dona Ana, NM) - This was the last trail ride I did with Olskool4x4.com before moving to Alabama. We had a great time and a terrific turnout with 25 rigs wheelin' and 12 or so sticking around to camp out. After wheelin' most of the day I earned the cow bell by getting lost. I spent about 2 hours wondering around the dessert before finally finding our group at the camp site. I got a little worried because earlier I ran out of gas and only had about three gallons in my tank. Duane broke a U-bolt from his rear leaf spring and had to break out the welder but was back on the trail in no time. Overall it was a great time and a terrific way to spend the Memorial Day Weekend! The next day I packed up my Jeep, loaded my Suburban, and headed for Alabama where I'll live for the next year. Enjoy the video.
Tabasco Twister - Some members of Armywheeling.com and Olskool4x4.com got together on April 26th, 2008 for some extreme wheelin'. This trail is definitely the most difficult trail I've wheeled. We started the trail with six Jeeps and finished with four. Tabasco Twister is a feature trail of the anual Chile Challenge held in Las Cruces and is one of the more extreme trails. Obstacles range from large rocks to steep waterfalls. This trail is a must see if you are in the area.
Rocitillo Rapids - This is an extreme trail near Las Cruces. There are three pretty difficult obstacles along this trail. It took about 4 hours to get through this trail with four Jeeps. We didn't have a lot of carnage but we did have a great time. If you have the opportunity to run this trail I promise you'll have a great time!
Called Out! - This video is one of the first obstacles we came to on the Dona Ana trail with Olskool4x4.com. Duane called me out to tackle this obstacle to test out my rig. This was my shakedown run after having my Jeep built. We did pretty well and the best part, the Jeep didn't brake!
The Smack Down - Duane led me through a difficult section of trail that ended up leaving a mark on his bumper. This section of trail was great and ended up with a steep climb causing you to lift a wheel on the way up. This video is about 10 minutes long but worth the watch.
