    Lizzy demonstrates that your way of doing a task depends on how you are taught. There are always several ways to accomplish any job. Lizzy was trained to drive off-road on stuck vehicles of all types. This is clear if you watch every video with her in it. From the one where Matt introduces her to this one. That is why she approached Horseshoe Falls the way she did; super slow and utterly steady. Her way turned out to be the best. Lizzy did not realize that the driver's front wheel was off the ground because that was the case in a lot of the stuck vehicles she has driven. In the past videos. Lizzy is shown climbing into multiple types of vehicles that are at a frightening angle, and near their tipping point. So she has learned how to drive out of that position. Those "training" videos had a rope attached to provide the needed "traction". In this video the needed traction came from the vehicle itself.

    Absolute joy to see Ed talk about days past and adventures had. You know . . . the digital age is letting so many of us see and share these kinds of recollections, and preserve them. Fifty years ago there was undoubtedly some guy with similar memories and they were just lost and forgotten. Now, not only can a million subscribers listen to this . . . but so can future generations. And as long as I'm here -- watching Lizzy (apparently) calmly steer Mischief Maker up the Falls was amazing. What a trouper!

      Knowing she just told us her trust in horses is way way more … Not in those slippery rocks would her horse do that feat! Dangerous beyond even thinking about. Todays horses are urbanized pets as compared to actual trained and bred cow herding ranch hand critters. Of course I mean used to weapons fire as well as thunder so on.

    Hey Rudy, There is an old Oilfield story about a Roustabout crew that were out on a oilfield location. They were moving sone 12”x12”X12’ Timbers.. Heavy! It took two guys on each end to carry them. So they would double up on one. Except one guy that they called “ Tiny” he would pick up one by himself and put it up over his shoulder.. The foreman saw him and said; hey Tiny double up on that, so Tiny picked up two, one on each shoulder, he doubled up on them. So hey, “Double up on that Iron😳😳😳. This was another great video. Love those sliders

    The only Rokon I ever seen was in Northern California close to the Oregon border back in the late 60's, they guy popped a wheelie to get the fron up his dropped tailgate, then got off and it climbed the rest of the way into the back of his truck with him beside it guiding it. Rokon were invented by a guy that lived in Fair Oaks California. Oh, nice driving Lizzy!

  • @cmcer1995
    @cmcer1995 2 года назад

    Maybe deflate the Sub's tires some for better traction and the larger tires for clearance would help too. Then we have Lizzy showing us all how to just take our time and slowly but surely climb climb up with seemingly no effort. MischiefMaker makes her look like a pro. Excellent job girl!! Great video as well.

  • @jhettish
    @jhettish 2 года назад +10

    Lizzy seems to realize that maximum traction occurs just before a tire breaks lose and starts spinning. Works the same way for braking also. Locking up brakes by sitting on the brake pedal actually makes the locked up wheel go faster rather than actually stopping a vehicle. That's how a bicycle or motorcycle back end swings around in an effort to try to catch the front wheel. Smart young lady.

      @IhaveaDoghouse 2 года назад +1

      Can you explain what you mean by " Locking up brakes by sitting on the brake pedal actually makes the locked up wheel go faster"
      If the wheel is locked up how is it spinning at all? Obviously I understand that you will stop faster with strong braking that is slowing the wheels but not locking them up but I don't understand how a locked wheel would "go faster"
