When in doubt - stop and request a spotter. If your spotter is in doubt, call Uncle and pull out recovery gear.

Ask for help from more experanced wheelers. when doing off camber stuff, having your sway bar connected gives you a more true feeling of the angle and when the edge is near and being driver high is better when your alone.
