Honestly, there is about 6 feet under the tire. the actual bottom is hidden by the rock.

the first photo was at the "tipping point" a little farther and it would have been over.  Fortunately, the guy spotting is someone I've wheeled with for years. He was actually spotting via a ham radio from the side (he's the lowest person, middle of the picture). I was with the Trail Teams when they ran it in 08, but I didn't feel like doing it then (too new, no lift, etc). A little farther up I was leaning on my Damello's (with the kick out) -- had I not had those, I probably would have laid the side into the rocks.

 

It's a fun run, but it does have "pucker" factor.

Behind the rocks was a good trail. I would bypass around upchuck, but it is do-able with good spotting. We were short on time due to some mechanical issues in the group, so we got to launchpad (?) and turned around
