Wrecker Games(Day 2) Things Got Technical
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2023
- Day 2 of @MattsOffRoadRecovery Wrecker Games was the day we were waiting for. This was doing the thing we do the best. Pulling a disabled vehicle through a technical trail. We got lined up to head up the trail first in the line of 5. We didn't put on the craziest show, but we definitely showed our expertise in slow and controlled. Which was actually fairly boring to watch. Haha, but we did our best and got to the top. After going for the bonus line of pulling the vehicle up 'The Chute' obstacle we decided to unhook and show off alittle by backing up the obstacle. We managed to pull it off first try with no resets. Then came the closing ceremonies, with top honors going to Merlin and us winning 'People's Choice'. Make sure to check out @MattsOffRoadRecovery ,@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage ,@FabRats ,and @offroadrecoveryteam to see everyone's story on what went down. Thank you to the viewers and everyone that showed up to support us, we owe you everything.

Rory even though this was a "competition" the sportsmanship you showed by help the competition, fixing Ben's rodeo, Eric's drive line, spotting for others. You get the all time sportsman ship award in my books.
I appreciate him spending time filming and publishing Eric from BSF. That guy is THE OG that started all this RUclips recovery stuff. His skillset is NOT these rocky trails, yet he showed up and fought hard.
Although Rory's sportsmanship is definitely commendable, any one of the teams would have helped any other team in a heartbeat. This was less of a contest and more of just a bunch of friends having a good time and putting on a show for the enjoyment of the crowd. And they all did that in spades. 👍
I hope this added exposure gets them all a few hundred thousand more subscribers. I would love it if all the great entertainment they provide all of us were well compensated.
I appreciate the sportsmanship more than anything else. It speaks to Rory's character.
tacder1 I was just going to say the same thing ,Rory you showed what friendship ,mateship and the games were all about Good on you mate ,Glenn from New Zealand
I find it amazing that Rory went from “who would want to watch me work” to the people’s choice. You can see the confidence boost in real time. You deserve it!
And Shawn is the man. He’s that guy that you want to work with. Always in a good mood, and quick with the jokes, but never complains about getting work done.
Then thank you Mike for getting everyone to talk more, and chasing with the camera. I see the work that you put in getting other angles and still being there to work.
Bravo gentlemen
It showed a lot of class and character when you stopped and helped the other contestants out. I think you and the team did a very good job during the event and you should all be very proud.
I agree Luke !!!!
Shows these guys have class !!¡
That is Rory's character as well as the character of everyone involved. They all helped when another rig was down for whatever the circumstance.
I still enjoyed Merlin cutting Fab Rats Tire(All in good fun). :) wish I could have been there. All were great and have great character.
@@garymitchell1582 bet he owed Paul or Ben some retribution for a past transgression committed back in the 90s😂😊👽
The level of communication of this team is top notch. This is what professional looks like.
Pretty cool how they put in the audio like that. Hopefully they continue it.
💯
They really do work like a well-oiled machine together.
I was watching Trailmater when Rory was his own cameraman, and I still would be, but at the same time, Mike and Shawn really takes this channel together. The three of them together really make a great team, which makes for perfect videos.
I been a fan of Rory for a long time also.
Not to put down the other teams but I made my choice the first time I heard the wrecker games was going to happen. I watched almost all of the channels involved building their wreckers and I never gave it a second thought Rory and his team would be the tops.
The red GMC team was very impressive for being out of its element but still was a great show. Matt's rig is awesome. Paul's is cool as hell. I love Merlin's diesel.
👍🇺🇸✌️
Same. Been watching Rory for many years now. Glad his channel took-off.
What about Lily? She was there being camera person.
Best crew, most experience, and best humor by far is team Rockpecker 👽
I loved the Trailmater channel when it was 45 minutes of the front driver's tire, and I love that with the addition of Shawn and Mike they've maintained that lo-fi, no frills atmosphere. Just rocks and trucks and funny guys getting a job done.
Rory and Team are the ultimate competitors and sportsmen at the same time! Showing how the work is really done, helping the other teams really understand the work of rock trail recovery, engaging the fans, and having fun. Total package in team Trailmater.
The old saying ,” often imitated ,never duplicated “ applies here . Rory went to work along with his crew and demonstrated what they do everyday . Did it very well and showed the rest how it’s done . The rest ripped and roared and tore stuff up showing off that they could drag stuff through the rocks no matter the outcome . Rory and the guys are down to earth,humble and capable .
100%
👍✌️
I mean Matt also looked pretty darn good as well, but he wasn't about to win his own event lol. (He's awesome like that.)
RIGHT
@Donna 🗝 of course you wouldn't! You are all over here crushing on Rory!
Can see why you made number 1 for peoples award, just the charmisma you have with the crowd is incredible
I really love that you guys put on a real life demonstration of how you recover vehicles. Dragging the car up sideways @ full throttle is fun (like other contestants did), but you kept it professional and I really do love that.
I really appreciate the fact that Rory was right there helping BSF . Sportsmanship at it's finest
I'm impressed by Rory's ability to control the tow truck so smoothly while working with a manual trans. He can keep the power on in a way that you can't tell that it's not an automatic. He is also a great sport in helping his "competitors."
Wait it's a manual...
@@426shelby426 sm465 if I recall correctly
I *LOVE* that you filmed this in a way that we could hear you all talking to one another! In watching the other channels I was disappointed not to see more of the interaction between driver and spotter and passenger. I really enjoyed a front row seat to the technical aspects of this task. Yes, it was entertaining to watch Merlin bomb around and see Paul roll Ben over 😂 but it's also really, really cool to see Team Trailmater taking the job seriously and putting on a masterclass of skill and communication!
Rory, you and Shawn and Mike really stole this show. Great job! Shawn with his nerves of steel and Mike with endless energy and great directions!
Trailmater on its most pristine performance.... Amazing job Rory and crew as always...
Rory seems like an octopus behind the wheel of Trail Mater. At times, seems like he was doing 3,4 or even 5 things at once. Amazing vehicle control. I know it was a competition and it was fun, but it seemed like another day at the office for Rory, Mike and Shawn. Great teamwork.
I never realized Rory was the tallest of the competitors. Rocking the Dad NB’s like a CHAMP!
When I first started watching Rory, I used to always wonder why he didn't put the seat further back when he drove. Then I realized he did have the seat all the way back, he's just that tall! Lol
Right!? Matt is just over 6 foot tall and Rory about towers over him!!
The first time I met Rory was at his old shop. He came up front from the shop and stood in the doorway to the front lobby. I thought, "Oh, shit." He's gotta be 6'5". And, maybe 270ish. He filled the doorway.
Rory. Your team worked together the best of all of them. I really loved your approach to doing what you do every day. Having had you help me once with my vehicle, I certainly appreciate you taking care of the customer's vehicle to the best of your ability, and in my opinion, that is what makes you better than everyone else. Love the footage and seeing how you all communicated and worked together. Great Team!!
Rory, you are the Ken Block of recovery. Steering, pedals, levers, winches, head set and switches while driving . 😁😁😁
True that!!! Consummate operator running his Machine like an extension of himself!
There was more of Rory helping out in everyone else's videos than there was in his own. This man and his team are first class and shining examples of humility. I'm so freakin glad you got to hear the crowd like that, Rory. You deserved every single moment of it.
I absolutely love how Rory steps up and helps his competition. These games are for fun, not winning or losing. Rory puts on a great performance!! He deserved the people’s choice award!
It's easy to tell who has knowledge on how to use a winch. When to free spool, when to boom in or out. Rory is also a Winchmaster! Also helps having a top notch Spotter too.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing you guys take this seriously and cause minimal damage to the Rodeo! Love watching you guys work. Truly a well oiled machine of teamwork, knowledge, skill, and truck design. Congratulations on the People's Choice Award, you absolutely deserved it!!
Love that Rory released Wrecker Game footage like all his other footage doing what they do. Great work team Trail Mater, it's why you're the fan favorite!
Rory out here living the phrase practice like you play, meanwhile Merlin and Paul said hold my beer.
Or mountain dew 😂
Honestly, I want to see Paul challenge Merlin to a duel over the "family rivalry" that happened at the Wrecker Games.
I challenge you to Jeeps in Moab at high noon!
(Obviously, just for laughs but it would be fun to see)
i would not want Merlin driving my truck or towing me
@@glenglessman2093 Merlin couldn't have been more opposite of Rory in the competition. He def ended up being the entertainment factor haha.
@@jaredreid2661 when you have no talent you hold it to the floor lol
By far the best coverage of the wrecker games! You guys did an amazing job with that lil Isuzu. Definitely the champ in my eyes! Your team did a great job! Can't wait to see you defend your title!
This was the best video by far I’ve seen. Great editing choices. Great clips from inside the Isuzu too. 🌺
@@Kiki-Kauai my thoughts exactly!
BleepinJeep's coverage and editing was great as well, if you haven't already, check it out. All of them were great, very professional.
This is the best collaboration in the history of youtube. I bet nobody expected their job would draw such a crowd!
And also the real winners, with extra points for helping other teams succeed, going reverse up the chute, and being the only team to not tear off the hood!! You guys have a lot to be proud of. As well as all the other teams.
You truly would be the first wrecker I would call to get my truck out of the hills. 🎉 All of you have made great strides in sharing this great passion of yours. Stay humble, no drama, and keep it real. Awesome video and teamwork. ❤
Trail mater is the bomb and always will be! you guys make it happen when it counts. Rory, you have an ethic that is both awesome and honorable!
Rory, for a guy who wasn't comfortable even talking to a camera at first, it must have been surreal to have a crowd of thousands chanting your name. Gratz, big guy - and to the Mike & Shawn show who keep everything moving along with a quip and a smile - and a whole lotta skill. An awesome result for the team, and well earned. 👍
Nicely done Rory, you and your team are the greatest. Not only did the fans have the time of their lives, it's obvious you guys did too.
I predict next year will be twice as big.
You guys DEFINITELY won the towing skills side of this competition no doubt. Your team did what it always does and it showed in your ability to do everything smooth and technical.
Something that is coming across a lot more in this video then the other videos is just how much communication and teamwork goes into the recovery. It's really neat to see/hear that aspect.
Mike does a wonderful Job being Rory’s second set of eyes and Mike has to have nerves of steel to sit in the towed vehicles sit and trust Rory’s abilities and still being smiling…My Hat is off to your recovery team…even in “fun” game you boys take it seriously with well earned smiles ! 😊
I think you're talkin about Shaun was riding in the towed vehicle, but I know what you mean.
The trust is on another level.
Indeed its shaun but these 3 know each other blind. If one blinks his left eye the other already has the needed part in his hand.😂
Yah, But when Rory called for Mike to jump the starter. Mike jumped Under the truck without hesitation. Now that's nerves of steel. Plus He used a Non-insolated steel bar to jump it. Total trust in the Team.
@@DaKayH that current is harmles but it gives that they understand each other perfectly and immediately know whats going on. And are very skill full.
@@henkoosterhof5947 the current is not harmless, it raised the temperature of that bar instantly to a level that burns.
A massive hat's off to the entire crew!!!
Excellent video with stellar editing choices. It’s heartwarming to see how Rory cares about all the others. The way Rory, Shawn and Mike work together to tackle any situation is my fav thing about this channel, and you can always hear these guys laughing in every video. Class acts all three.🌺
Way to put on a clinic team Trail Mater! Rory, you have come so far with you public speaking and MCing. Its fun to watch you move out of your comfort zone and into the someone that can play to the crowd and look like you are having a good time. Awesome content.
This was a lot of fun to watch. Taking nothing away from Matt, Paul, Merlon or Eric, if I was ever in a bad spot and needed recovery of my vehicle, you guys would be the only ones I would call. The way Rory, Sean and Mike work together is amazing. Countless hours of experience and the trust you three have in each other is amazing. I proudly wear both of my Trailmater shirts. You guys are the real deal.
You obviously have the best working together team of ALL. It was a true joy to watch, a symphony of sorts. Mike and the starter, great shot. Always a pleasure to watch and the helping out of the others shows a great heart.
I haven't watched BSF's or Merlin's channel much. But in this type of terrain, towing a vehicle behind them, Rory, Trail Mater and crew, all have a definite advantage with a proven rig and experience.
We've watched all the videos and this one, by far, shows the incredible surgical precision that your team displayed. Loved the in-car communication. Bravo Rori.
The placement is just incredible, great drivers in both seats and a damn good spotter too.
Winning people's choice shows you that the advice Matt gave you to start talking in your videos was the right call. By far the best and safest pull up the trail was yours. It was a great 'competition', but the fun and fellowship outweigh any bragging rights. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Been jumping through a lot of people's content of this; Rory's is genuinely enthralling, I just watch it all; watching him do great work at an elevated pace is awesome.
Great job as always guys.
You ain't kidding technical. Much respect for the skills.
I here you praise your audience again and again Rory. It's a two way street man. Watching you guys out there doing your job so beautifully. No shit! You really showed them how it's done clearly. With buckets of humility. Credit to you.
A big shout out to the guys running up that hill doing the filming !❤
“This is what we do everyday”
The mater crew always brings her home in one piece, AND has fun doing it…everyday!
Thanks Guys!!!
Wow, I just recently subbed to your channel and I gotta say Rory is just a genuine good dude! Not only did he help everyone along the way but he drove that trail like he was towing a Rolls Royce! Mad skills Rory, next year you'll be hard to beat!!
Your camera angles editing and radio chatter was by far the best done of them all. They should all take notes.
This is why for months, I’ve been team Trail Mater. Rory is so good at the technical stuff and his truck is so proven. It’s almost like another day at work. No sweat 😅. Awesome job Rory Shawn and Mike. Great video as always! Thank you 😊 and awesome job to everyone involved!
Simply the best Rory! TRLM8R is a beast, and you know how to drive it, and show everyone how recovery is done in that environment. Hats off! You are a true gentleman, always helping out everyone who needs any help. Bravo.
The event was awesome. Fun was had by all, and the show we got to see with entertainment value was one for the books. The TrailMater team was fun and friendly, and of course, a crowd favorite. Trailmater, a daily off-road work driver, showed brute strength and feistiness while navigating the obstacles and was a crowd pleaser. Thank you, guys, for your participation in the event. I especially enjoyed the camaraderie and all-around good ribbing and tomfoolery of the team members and judges in the event. All this chemistry made for a very memorable event, and I look forward to the next Wrecker Games.
To Rory: A salute to you for being the people's choice winner and first loser. For a rigged game, I sure enjoyed the ending! It was indeed an EPIC event!
Love Sean's laugh he has the best.
Rory uses Trailmater like a surgeon uses a scalpel. Peoples Choice was absolutely spot on. Merlon put on a fun show, but we all know who we would want dragging us out. Keep it up Rory, Shawn and Mike! Hopefully I never need you when we wheel Moab, but it's nice knowing ya'll are there.
Congrats Rory. It was so cool to see you in action and meet you there. Well done.
What an awesome team you've are. There was a lot of skills that showed through each and every one of you. Your fans were awesome as well with the peoples choice.
You guys are a great team! I really thought all the experience with the truck would pay of, but seeing this what really strikes me is the awesome team you are! Towing that car looked calm, controlled and safe throughout the trail
This is a master class...by BOTH drivers AND the spotter! Bravo gentleman. Well done!
Congratulations on your "1st" place and the people's choice award, which was more than deserved.
Team Trail, Mater killed it! You guys work so well together and put on a great show. Would have loved to be there in person but honestly, watching from the comfort of my home, on a huge computer screen, is hard to beat. Love you guys!
Count me as one of the fan's saying;
Rory and "Crew" are the hand's down people's favorite.
For good reasons, don't change shit.
Much Respect to you all
Rori. Your winch control and global awareness of the task at hand is second to none.
That was absolutely amazing guys, Rory I really take my hat off to you, I don't know how you managed to pull Shaun in his car all the way through that gnarly trail whilst keeping him safe and on either two or four wheels all the way through. Your skills with trail mater are outstanding. Mike you guided them a lot of the time helping to keep them safe. You guys really are the bee's knees. Stay awesome and thanks for bringing us along for the ride. It looked like everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously. I do hope this becomes a regular games session for the wreckers.
It is so good to see everyone pitching in to help one another, especially when everyone is enjoying themselves. This says more about the type of people in the off road community and the kinds of people who are there to support everyone and be respectful towards each other.
Can I just say that this was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen! The way you all work flawlessly together is inspiring. Congratulations!
the secret weapon and Eric throwing sand back on.....😂😂😂
This just goes to show you have an incredible fan base, and you towed that vehicle without doing any damage to it till Paul came along. Awesome group of friends in this competition. Congratulations Rory! Something to be pretty proud of. Keep up the good work Trailmater team.
You, your truck , and your team did awesome!! Thank you for the amazing job you do!
Mr Finesse with the Mike and Sean show! If I ever get back to Moab and break my jeep I'm calling you guys!
I love the sportsmanship that everyone showed to help the other teams. Such a great community.
Of all the drivers at the off road wrecker games, Rory is the absolute master. Outstanding
I picked Rory Irish when I first heard of the wrecker games.
Rory has a older video of him using his precision driving and Mater's outstanding traction and side digs with no additional damage to the towed vehicle.
The older video puts this level driving easier compared to the video where he gets this guy's jeep on a trailer through some of the tightest terrain.
Rory Irish and his crew are the best in the business in my opinion.
All teams involved put on a great show and deserve a good thanks. 👍✌️
I'll never understand why "Trail Mater" has fewer subs than Paul and Matt. Rory and his crew work hard, play hard, and always put out great videos. I hope the wrecker games bring more people to your channel. You guys definitely deserve it!
Again, Rory and his team showing that they are the best! Sportsmanship, navigating, and the list goes on. Seems to be top-notch people.
Rory,Mike,Shaun, you guys are by far the best of the best when it comes to skilled offroad recovery and entertainment factors as well. Thank you so much for all you do.
Thank yall for a great show!!!
Roy you an Your Team just simply killed this course !! It was fun to watch y'all work together the you did !
Plus you where out helping the other competitors when they needed the extra help ! You Sir are one class act ! Your team are true Gentleman as well !
Thank you for all you do for the community of off reading ! You are a true King among Kings !!;✌️❤️🙏
This was just plain, good old fashioned fun. Everyone was “in on it”, it was very entertaining and no one had a miserable go of it. Just a genuine good time. A proper introduction for future gatherings. Rory. You had my vote!
The difference between someone who does this as a professional and people who do it for fun. Great Job!
Humility is a great trait please pass it on Rory & company Sean Mike ☺️great Job
Rory, you and your team are clearly in a class by yourselves. Trailmater is without a doubt the most capable rig with Rory as the captain. Also, great job by Shawn as the rodeo wheel and brake man.
It was great contrast between Rory going all technical and Merlin going savage mode 👍
This has been hilarious, 5 guys out playing with their toys.
Your technique for pulling the vehicle up the rocks by doing free spool and then pulling and winching back in to position. Is how skidders work to drag logs out of the forest. Great job and keep up the good work.
❤ the comms play by play. Thanks for sharing what you do.
This showed us the team work involved in all of your recoveries. Rory your skill behind the wheel can't be matched. Shawn the skills in being towed comes from working together & Mike you showed us you aren't just another pretty face behind the camera. Keeping a close eye on 2 vehicles at the same time is the skills of a great spotter. Well done Team Trailmater. Thanks for sharing.
Hands down the most skilled crew. That Rodeo has less damage on it than if it had been able to drive itself through those obstacles.
What a team! Masterful driving, Rory! Perfect spotting and camera work, Mike! And nerves of steel with a super calm demeanour, Shawn! Rory should have received extra points for the help he provided to other contestants along the way. By the way, Rory, that wrecker should go to the Smithsonian when you’re finished with it … years from now, of course. 😀
You guys are an awesome team, best crew in my book.
Rory, you showed everybody how to do it. What a display of your craft! I am glad you all had fun.
A class act the whole way. Thank you Rory for showing everyone how it is done the RIGHT WAY.
Awesome performance Rory!! Looks like y’all had fun! The in cab shots are great love seeing you and trail mater work together.
The video I have been waiting for ... and Team TrailMater did not disappoint!!! Rory the Lead Sprinkler ... Shawn the Calm Rock ... and Mike the Ultimate Spotter!!!
The driving skills shown off by Rory and Shawn during the towing and Mike spotting are amazing. We see your videos every week. There could only be one champion going in and coming out of this event for rock crawling recovery.
There should have been major bonus points for the white Dad shoes!
“We return your vehicle in the same condition that you left it!” That is something that more companies need to adopt.
Rory raises the bar of wrecker games to another level !
And that was when Rory and his team took them all to school...
Oh my Gosh! Backing up the chute was most definitely a ‘Mic drop’ moment! You definitely showed you were the team to beat. Ad in the willingness to help other teams was the most impressive part of the wrecker games. I know each team was more than happy to give each other a hand. And the secret weapon leaf blower was CLASSIC!
A shining star in the off road community!! Thank you guys and the people’s choice well deserved! Congrats!
