- We went to Grand Junction Colorado for the Rock Junction event. This is a super fun wheeling event and swap meet that I have been attending for many years. This is our trip up 21 Road Trail. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

You have to remember the turtle move. Turtled on a big rock: "Mike yells: spin the tires fast and step on the brakes sharply." Then Rory's vehicle moves forward and can finish the obstacle. Awesome trail. Thanks
Tyres are full or water moving mass makes movement
I've never seen someone use their tires as 'centrifugal force' like that.The sudden stop throws the weight forward.Great idea Mike!
@@ashleywright1991 water would make it more effective but with tires that big a sudden stop at high rpm would be a lot of momentum on its own.
@coreyhansen8119 yes any rotating mass is which is why brake or accelerate when airborne in a vehcile to level it when it lands ... eg to stop a rally car nose diving
I had scrolled down to check out comments right at this point of the video. When I heard Mike tell Rory he was green like a turtle I had to scroll back up to watch.
Love the highlight of how a local club helped keep a trail open by provided a space for the tadpoles to be safe.
The story is all about accepting limitations and compromise. I am sure many offroaders drove through there for years because it was considered part of the trail and who was going to tell them where they could and couldn't drive. I am sure the environmentalists were saying the whole trail needed to close and no one could drive anywhere because of the toad.
The club said both of those are wrong and we can walk and chew gum at the same time. They accepted closing a small portion of the trail to protect wildlife while simultaneously keeping the rest of the trail open. As the video shows there is still plenty to navigate on the 21 road trail.
It's a perfect view into how to handle a problem like an adult in today's world were so many people see in black and white and refuse to give up anything even if it is relatively small.
I really like how Mike points out interesting rock formations, flowers, and animals.
You can tell how hard some of those trails were by the look of concentration on Rory's face, he's usually smiling and laughing
Mike thinking outside the box on the turtle rock. Great job! That had me smiling ear-to-ear.
H2O for the win
Mike is more than just a pretty face. 😊
Yeah, that transfer of angular momentum from the wheels to the vehicle to tip it forward... Coolest automotive thing I've seen in a long time.
Ha! Post turtle rory
Ha! Post turtle Rory. Dude can drive and that rig ain’t all that. Proof that $200k won’t get you where balls and brains can
Good thing Mike taped up all those wires or he might have hooked them on one of those rocks. :)
Excellent rock crawl video. Nice hat Rory.
What can a guy say, Rory is simply a Rockstar! The man is amazing behind a wheel!
It seems like you guys vacation days look alot like work days. I m jealous. Knowing its not that simple.
That was the ultimate RC fix spin the tires then slam on the brakes it'll slide forward see those R c's coming handy for all kinds of learning
Sweet!! Diamond-billed Rock Pecker nests at 10:25 😂
It would be an absolute privilege to watch a master at his craft (Rory) in person....we all know the camera doesn't do some of the steep angles justice...... awesome stuff ❤️🇺🇲
Looks like a great time!
About time Rory and crew
Cool hat
Rory tells a guy live a little
Then he gets up on top of that rock
What do I do now
You live a little Rory
team effort he got off awesome video Rory and crew and everybody else there doesn’t get any better than this
👏👍✊🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
10 seconds in and Rory is testing the Limits of the Trail ,,, he already knows the limits of the Buggy, but trails change all the time. Love the content 👌
So many relaxed looking people in a pretty wild situation.
Dang Rory, Assert Your Turtle Dominance!!
Your videos are like a window into your world, love the view!
BOT
The ol $12 buggy looks so much better with the new front bars on it..
You guys take me places without leaving my home. Thank you so much
FRICKIN AMAZING !!!...... rock crawling at its finest !!!..... great job by all !!
Guys, consider light color shirts over the dark ones. They will keep you cooler and they show grease and dirt better so you'll know when to wash them and not have to depend on smell test alone😅. Cool video.
Great skills by all, one jeeper was running street tires and making it thru and Rory put his rig on a 'trophy rock' doing the Rock a bye baby. Great video of all who was there.
The save the frog, save the trail story was cool. 😎
I love watching you guys build stuff and do trail repairs and rescue people, but I like these wheeling trips too. This was a good video.
I was signed up for this very run, but I broke my TJ on the last obstacle of the Cutoff after running Billings Canyon the day before. I wish I could have been there!
Love Seáns reaction to Mike pointing out the tower!
Great to see everyone out wheeling and having some fun.
It looks like everyone was having a good time climbing all those rocks!
Great to see The Team out playing 🤩 Thanks for sharing
That last rock was wild
That must be Diamondbill Rockpecker breeding grounds.
Dang Rory you are the bomb off-road!! Loved the turtle and Mikes idea of getting off the rock. You guys all rock!
Rory redefined the meaning of going "turtle"! Mike had him pull out all the stops and got him to spin the wheels real fast and slam on the brakes. There was just enough energy in the air to carry him over the top for the win.
I didn’t quite understand the energy transfer, but it worked. Stopping forward rotation of the tires imparted forward rotation to the buggy chassis maybe? Causing a few fractions of an inch of forward slide on the turtle pan?
Loved the 'Holy Rocks' and Roy on Turtle rock...need a T-shirt please. And thank you for the Froggies going courting pond. What a fun day that had to be ! !
The 00 green lizard is still getting the job done. I knew it would do it. LOL
The smiles say it all. Smiles for miles.
The crew had a lot of fun, I'm jelly!
That was awesome thinking Mike
that last rock was NUTS. you guys are legends
I always enjoy watching you guys wheeling. It is always good to take some time to relax and have fun
This is awesome. I would love to see mikes big tires on jeep buggy. Lol.
Thanks fer postin!
Fun stuff looks like you are have a blast very nice awesome
16:33 Mike with the "Inertia Dig" GENIUS !!!
I feel like Mike is getting better and better at his driving.
wooo Mike! Spin wheels & brake is a HECKIN GOOD TRICK 😃
Good stuff! Thanks . God bless you and your families Aloha and amen
Oh my gosh that climb over huge rock at the end haha!!!!
I’ve found that people who go out and enjoy the land tend to do more to protect it. Way more than these “groups” do. Real conservation be real enthusiasts.
Can tell Rory loves rock crawling them tires definitely show the use lol almost time for a new set soon lol 😂😂
Looks like so much fun I wish I was there. You guys are great.
You are so lucky to have such an incredible playground! 🤩
Geat video , thanks for sharing
That’s an awesome trail
Vacation mode is a must 🇺🇸
Love Colorado .
it still amase me of the skill of Rore
Awesome thanks guys.
What a cool trip!
Great job again.
Awesome wheeling guys, really entertaining ! 👍🏽😎
Wow, you made the Impossible Possible.
You guys are killing it.
Awesome, great tip from Mike
Mind blown by you guys. How the hell do you get those vehicles up, let alone down those rocks(boulders)? I am greatly appreciative of the skill you have shown in this particular video, because well, I was simply blown away with the skill displayed by all drivers. I must say I was super impressed with Mikes rig. We get so used to seeing such spectacular shots from Mike that we forget that he is just as skilled a driver as the rest of the team. That is not meant to sound nasty just super impressed. Hi is such an unassuming guy that you don't think about him as driver just because he is always on the camera and sadly we forget his other side... Love you all, for what you do day in day out.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANKS, SHOUTED LOUD AND CLEAR , from UK.
Thanks bud!!
Neat stuff 😎
It has been a while since ive been on that trail. I like your choice of lines in there for sure!
Rory really knows how to drive,
He should hook up with Travis Pastranaa and try some rally car action.❤
Looks like fun
everyone else...."well looks like we're going to have to go around this one"....Rory...."nah I'm just going to go over it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s sum sh*t you do with a lil rc rock crawler, friggin awesome job Rory!!
Am very much impressed by Rory's driving its super 👌
I wish I can have the opportunity to do something like this in my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're an inspiration @trailmate ✨️
The turtle was great
We really need an origin story/deep dive into the 12 dollar buggy! That thing is amazing, I know a lot of it Rory’s experience but I’d put that buggy up against anything any day.
Awesome video thanks
The outtakes at the end are great (whatever they are called)
Mike's rock packers went crazy on some of those rocks didn't they
Awesome rock crawling
Thanks Mike!
I use that turtle trick all the time... with my RC truck!
Mike for the driving advice WIN!
Amazing driving.
The buggy became a 🐢 with a whole lotta speed but no traction on that rock. Then suddenly you here rory scream I'm tired of this grandpa! Then mike chimes in: Well that's to damn bad!
Ah, the teetering turtle maneuver, cant beat it.
Some might do it as well sometimes but nobody does it better.
Rory really needs to put that rear steer axle on the $12 buggy.
Too cool man
TAD POLES we used to catch em by the bucketful in DITCHS back home! then watch em grow legs and turn in to frogs thats when we took em and stuffed em down my SISTERS SHIRTS when they weren't looken!!!!
RORY THE SENSEI of 4X4
Matt would say "Amazing" and me also.
"I don't wanna do it now!"
SWEET MOVE ON THAT TURTLE ROCK. MUCHO ROCK PECKERS IN THOSE PARTS!!😂
THAT WAS A SLICK TRICK MIKEY !!!!!!!!!!!!! SPIN N BRAKE.....TUK THAT 1 BEHIND MY EAR !!!!!!❤😊😅😅
nice
Double Naught is a beast
TURTLE FRIGGIN ROCK!
nice driving
I can’t add much to what’s already been said except you guys rock!!! Work or play you guys are always having fun and laughing. Just one question. Where did the name 4 Lug Thug come from on Sean’s buggy.
How many people love their jobs so much they go do the same things, with the same people, on weekends and vacations? 🤠
I take the scouts on a 15 mile hike up 21 Rd, over the hump and down into Coal Gulch. It is always a lot of fun when the rock crawlers come by. How come you didn't go up into Carnage corner and above?
I almost made the top 10. LoL
