Max steering question

[amphibious drew]

Impressive climb buggy man & cool video . If you watch at 54 seconds in it cuts out when he got hung up & I guess backed down ? 6 or 8 wheels I think would bottom out up there , but I believe a 6 wheeler could hop the first rock & make the climb also

Jim was there and I was in the machine until I thought I was best helping video. He did not back down, trust me!

Well if you don't mind , could you explain how he did a 180 up there , or did he turn around after the break in the video & come back from the opposite direction . I'm not taking anything away from his skill & I know cameras don't do justice to how steep things actually are . Just wondering why the video stopped after his forward progress & then cut into him facing the other way ? In between then seems like it would have made for a heck of a movie LOL

I'll watch it again, but Nick O and myself were both filming and shots were being used from both phones. Mine was the crappier footage. I was in the machine the entire day. This footage was about the only time I got out, and honestly I was concerned for my safety if something bad were to happen. The video does not due the steepness of the hill justice. I don't believe it was a trail, but something that may have used to be a trail and was supposed to be clearly closed for use with a fence at top and massive rocks in the way. The food vendor said she had never seen anyone drive all the way up like Matt did. He did a great job of pushing his machine right up to the limit and maybe a tad but beyond during that afternoons ride. He ended up driving me right out of a shoe.

Btw the 6x6 ox that was there turned around when he saw the bigger stuff. Matt was the only one with enough guts to go for it. I was shocked when he did it and made it. Next time I may not ask him to "drive it like we stole it."

Matt did not turn around or do a 180 while on the rocks. He did have to do a 90 degree turn, go about 10-15 ft, and do another 90 degree turn taking him back in his original direction. The posted video was taken by several cameras and edited together. I'm currently uploading what video I have, and in a mere 2 more hours the 2 minute video will be ready Grrrrrr.

I always find ways to make it look like I have multiple cameras set up, so the video may have been confusing on the way the machine made it up. I saw a Jeep crawler on it's side earlier that day in the same spot.
