    ok thats amazing that he walked away as fast as he did ...

    But looking at that ramp and knowing how they are built and designed out west, WHAT KIND OF NUT dumped gravel there without spreading it out..

    The truck is supposed to go into the deep gravel and the rolling resistance of running though 1 foot of gravel or so is supposed to bog the truck down to stop it.. Not hit a pile and filp...

    I'm glad I never had to hit the ramp. I've seen some horrible looking ones. I can't remember if it was at Fancy Gap or what but there is one that looked like it had just a sprinkle of gravel and they plowed a trail the rest of the way up the mountain. Not sure how steep it actually was. Almost verticle though, I do remember that.
