The nittos were awesome. 10x better than my MTRs. What you can't in that video is that my tire was coated with slick TN mud around the outer edge, the rock was covered in the sand, and the angle that you can't see is that the rock the tire was on was a really steep angle. I knew I had no chance of it sticking. I edited the video to keep it short, but I slide off it once before that, but too far back and had to back out of it. Even if I had stickies, it would have happened. A little part of me hoped it would stick though, hahaha.

This was the best ride I have been on thus far. I wish we would have got pictures of it, but Invest came off a rock and fell about 6 foot! We all shit our pants. It was an incredibly complex obstacle but the struts kept the jeep from flopping on its side. Hopefully some more rigs can make it out next time. Big thanks to Invest and his dad for letting me tag along. I absolutely had a blast.

We watched several buggies on Trepador Stickies and they got no where. The rocks and mud here in TN are very slick. Traction doesn't happen if there is the slightest bit of moisture present.
