Re: FJ offroad video at Gilmer, TX

I refuse to be excited about someone getting in way over their head (in any sport)...becuase it leads to bad judgement. Bad judgement is what lands people in trouble. So he made it through...that's great. What about next time when he doesn't have a coach? He'll be unprepared and end up flopped on his side or broken way out in the middle of nowhere and not have the experience to deal with it. Look folks, these are very capable rigs but all the electronic gadgetry in the world (even paired with coaching) is no substitute for seat time and experience. It's not just about driving over the trail. It's about being prepared for not making it, fixing problems, helping others, etc...Inevitably, you will be in over your head becuase that's what getting better entails. But you should gradually work your way in...not just jump in to the deep end. And I'm not excited for anyone that assists someone in doing what they aren't prepared to do. Sorry.
