I didn't take many pictures or videos this year andI don't believe I have any of mine at all.
However Pritchett Canyon was on the list of trails this year and I did get a few videos of some of the guys on a couple obstacles. I didn't take the Disco on Pritchett this year as there's a few modifications I want to do on it before I'll tackle that trail (pinned diffs, lower gearing, and a roll cage). Kevin and I drove to the end of the trail and then walked down to meet up with the crew. There's some pretty significant obstacles on this trail.

And this was a group we passed walking in, on the Rock Pile

That's some pretty good technical driving there! ;)
Yes, Pritchett certainly requires a focused approach. Pretty much every obstacle on that trail can roll you over if you get it wrong. Combine that with the fact that every obstacle is also freaking big, and it makes for an eventful day.
Did you witness any "oh Sh___T" moments while you were there?
No S___t! 8)
Those Jeeps look like they are sporting some pretty serious hard wear? And some impressive 'Steady Eddie' driving skills as well.
I'd love to get back down to Moab someday. An entire week off roading and I feel like we barely even scratched the surface of even the easy stuff in 14.
We had one vehicle, a Cherokee, flop on its side on Hells Gate this year Bill. That was the only real "oh s__t" moment to speak of.
That CJ you see Matt is driven by Eric...he's a pretty amazing driver and very enjoyable to watch. One learns a lot from just watching how that guy approaches lines and then drives them.
One interesting thing about the two vehicles you see on Rocker Knocker; both those guys swapped from manual to automatic transmissions during the off season.
I liked the calculated reving of the tires on the climbs. They didnot Smoke their way up.
Great experience watching them trail these ledges. I could see why a roll cage would be wise.
