 Esprit de Four 4x4 Safety clinic
September 18th 2010 
http://www.espritdefour.com/dynamic/?page_id=26 Esprit de Four is having their semi-annual 4x4 safety clinic at Hollister Hills on Sept. 18, its on a Saturday with a optional; BBQ at the end of the day. It is an all-day course with half in a class setting and half on the trails - Dean encouraged me to take this class a few years ago and it was well worth it - guarantee you will learn something - built up or stock - it not what you drive, it's how you drive it...

The people at esprit de four are also some damn nice people to boot.
I went to this class the other day and learned a thing or two. This guy, however, wasn't paying attention:

Ouch!

How did they manage to do that?
We were at the very end of the trail at Lupis Loop and it was sort of a tight corner with a small ravine on the right, flat spot in the center, and an embankment on the left side. We were supposed to drive either in the flat spot or to straddle the ravine. He chose to drive in the ravine and got stuck. He decided to crank his wheels to the left and power out. He powered out and then kept going up onto the embankment. He was far too off-camber and flipped 3/4 of a turn to the right back into the ravine. It took more than an hour to right the truck.
poor guy...not a way to introduce your truck to off-roading.
