Great videos! And it's nice to see the camera guy on the other end of the lens!

This is me trying to get around Woodchuck on Little Sluice so I can go up top and winch him out.
Wish there was more to this video, the rest of the climb right where it stops was fun.

Then I went back through the bypass (a little tricky on it's own) and hit it up myself.

So basically everybody that went through little sluice broke at some point? :P

Looks like it was a lot of fun. When you guys do this again (Assuming next year) and you are going to go over Sonora Pass, hit me up. I know some great spots to stop.

We will definitely be hitting you up next year as we come through!

Rubicon '13 JK-Forum Adventure Part 1

This is just a 5 minute teaser/test video, Part 1 of our Rubicon '13 trip. It kicks off the beginning of the trip we took in June with some photos from our caravan up North, and the very first few hours on the trail. At this point we hadn't hit any of the major challenging obstacles, but we were able to take in the enormous scene and beauty of the High Sierras and what Rubicon has to offer.

I'll upload the full HD video soon, but check this out for now to get a glimpse:
