I can't seem to find the link to the Go Fund Me for the fallen friend.
@Kris A Benedict Casey is not welcome!
So sweet!!
Thank God for Jeffe…
@@krisa3685 With all the nasty stuff Casey has said about Matt, it's no wonder that he wasn't invited.
I was the drone pilot for this event, and it was SO MUCH FUN! Thanks MORR for the opportunity to come fly!
I was wondering who was getting those sweet drone shots! Nice job!
Great job!
Great work Too!
Awesome job
Thank you for making some awesome footage! ❤
Eric getting emotional shows how much character he has and how humble he is.
He deserves a million subscribers.
He drove across the country with a truck that is not set up for that terrain , broke the truck and still wants to come back.
Despite breaking on the trail in all of the videos I still seen nothing but smiles that right there should be a lesson for everyone. Memories good or bad are priceless
Eric belongs with this crowd. The entire RUclips family from Eric to fabrats to morr Chad's fab all of em are the most thoughtful and considerate people I've ever watched. I strive to be the best mechanic and person I an be. But I'll always be envious of the way these fellas treat others. 😊
Eric is truly first class and great ambassador to the sport.
The godfather of off-road recovery definitely deserved the lift it'll be a game changer he broke fixed and kept plugging along definitely the most underbuilt for the conditions but the heart to continue on
@David Woerman Sr I couldn't agree more. Bsf is the original offroad recovery team. It's awesome to seethe community grow with all the new channels. I've long forgot about cable TV and even video games for the most part.
Kudos to everyone who put on this event, it was a great experience. We are snowbird Canadians and were so glad we went. After watching the video we know we got so much more from being at the games. When recognizing the people who contributed I am not sure if the St. George Shuttle was mentioned. Driver Kevin was the best ambassador, he was friendly and accommodating. We stayed at the Westside Campground at Sand Hollow so the boat launch parking pick-up was very convenient. Everyone was so friendly. On the day of the main event as we were going to walk through the tunnel to head up the hill, a friendly family offered us a ride up and walking back after got picked up by a shuttle and enjoyed a ride down. On Saturday we rented a RZR from Mad Moose rentals, taking them up on their show special price and thoroughly enjoyed the sand dunes, rocks and scenery. We are from BC Canada and live in a beautiful area but we were in awe of the rock formations, colours, and scenic views in southern Utah. We are back home now and still have such a good feeling from being there and I could go on and on but will stop now because IYWTYK (If you were there you know!) We were there!
Very jealous 🥴😘🇬🇧
Genuinely impressed by this community for leaving the trail better than it started. Looks like such a great time, I hope there’s more MORR community events in the future!
That’s what happens when most of the people aren’t hammered drunk rolling SxS’s.
The look on Eric's face when he got surprised with that challenger lift is HEART WARMING!!! GREAT JOB guys! What an amazing group of people!
He'll need it to get that sweet wrecker ready for next year 😊
Eric is such a humble guy too, totally deserves it.
I need his box of tear wipes for sure. Good job Robby Layton
@@coltin4803 and events coming up this summer
I love how other minded Matt is. Instead pursuing things for himself he's constantly bringing up the people around him. He has made a whole community/genre on RUclips popular. Many channels people would have never heard of with put him being other minded.
and correct me if I am wrong, but it seemed to me he let the other RUclipsrs post their videos about the event first.
@Sam Colton they have. Thats part of what I'm talking about he has let other channels reveal his major content and get the first look. His shop is open to visitors, openly supports charities, gives large gifts to his employees, etc.
@@samcolton5519 The Competitors were asked to hold their for a simultaneous release. The public can do as they want.
@@johnguilfoyle3073 I think they are getting confused and talking about the videos of the Wrecker in the desert?
God bless 🙌 them
Props to the production team for getting this out so quickly. I have spent over an hour editing and producing a 70 second video before, from only 5 minutes of footage. I don't think a lot of folks appreciate how much work it takes to produce watchable, quality content.
Eric is such a humble and real person. He and his crew deserve the attention. Utah people should be proud of what you have accomplished. Y'all make me want to move to Utah!
Hopefully next year we will see the games in his territory
It is really awful here. You are better off staying where you are at. Ask any resident they will tell you the same. Super ugly, zombies, really rude people best just stay out.😉
Hats off to the Editors at MORR! I can only imagine the hundreds of hours of film you had to trudge through to refine it into this 1.5 hour video. Great Job to everyone involved!
Hopefully now they can get some much deserved rest
@@alanj7306 well shoot, that's disappointing to hear. Hopefully they learn from this year's event if they plan on making this an annual thing. In there defense, I don't think they ever intended for this to be such a big event and it must be hard to make such a large spread out event something that's viewable to patrons on foot.
@@coltin4803 they have to start planning next years now so they can relax and meet the fans instead of be buzzing around like chickens with their heads cut off stressing out so much
That was epic! So glad Eric got the respect he deserves for this. So many of us found the rest of you because we started watching a beat-up red square body in the woods of northern Wisconsin. Love all you guys! Thanks for the quality entertainment!
Also condolences for Robert's family. Good friends keep us going in many ways...
I insisted my husband & our best friend go to the wrecker games. Both around 70 and needed a guy trip. They used to off-road when younger. Other than the weather and distance between their campsite & events, they had fun. I really wanted to go, but stayed home and watched videos as they were posted. The guys want to go in 2024 and I told them I’m going too!!! Love all you guys’ RUclips channels! Keep on towing and making videos!
What an amazing bunch of folks! You all are so blessed to be a part of such a great bunch of friends. It was a real blessing to see Eric so humbly receive the lift for his shop. And it was nice to see how well people did with not trashing the place. I wish the people here in Tennessee would learn from this and take better care of the beautiful landscape we’ve been given to live amongst. Looking forward to next years games. Maybe an oval track in the sand going for best time towing your Isuzu, or maybe an oval track with a slalom or some obstacles including a small jump.
When you watch these videos, you'll always see Rory helping other people. What an awesome guy he is.
Also, I love how much respect Matt is always showing towards Eric. He was an underdog coming from so far, and still did amazing, so nice to see all of them giving so much respect to him.
In a world of negativity these videos are a breath of fresh air.
The moment from 1:11:11 to about 1:13:30 with Eric up the stage was incredibly heart warming.
I've been watching Eric for 10+ years. He is a good dude.
@@0778drz110 Eric is the salt of the earth and Mara is Mrs. Salt who gives him support in everything he does. They are a great team.
He deserves so much more recognition...
He's definitely the godfather of off-road recovery I've been watching Eric since he had less than 2500 subs that lift is going to be a game changer for him
@@davidwoermansr LOVE the new Lift for Eric 👍😎✊
This was awesome. When they gave Eric that lift it legitimately brought a tear to my eyes. Helluva job by everyone involved.
I think some more sponsors need to get in contact with Eric. That was so heart warming. Massive respect to Challenger lifts for that👊. Great show from the MORR team. Definitely want to watch the next one or maybe even travel from the UK to see in person.
Same here 😘🇬🇧
Lizzy deserves her own rock crawler after this, she is such a trooper, Matt got my heart pounding a couple of times. Great job Lizzy.
God bless you all
So sorry for the loss.
I was thinking around the 35:00 mark when she's dangling behind the wrecker, completely supported by it, and she can say "*I* built that!"
the lizzmorr
In a pervious video, when they were getting parts for the Golden Nugget they mentioned they have a tracker or a similar vehicle they are planning on building for her
The dedication to Eric made me cry. I started watching him from the beginning, and yes. He is the Original. He deserves all the credit for this.
Made me tear up
Same
Eric tearing up when he found out they gave him a lift is the most wholesome thing I'm ever seen in the RUclips automotive community.
Matt: I attended the event and was truly impressed with your TEAM, especially when dealing with AN OVERWHELMING number of attendees! It was nice to meet you and hope you can do this again next year! EVERYONE of your competitors got along very well and helped each other out when needed. The venue was perfect to test machines and skills simultaneously and I enjoyed watching all of you "do your thing"! Thanks for a great time! I hope yours and others efforts convince the BLM NOT to give away the land where you make your money. The BLM is trying to lock up lots of land right now...everywhere!
My deepest sympathies to Robert Blake’s wife, Paige, their children & entire family. Also my sympathies to the MORR family as well. Rest in peace Robert.
Please please do this again next year, I want to attend this event!!
Hoping to have these events back next year, maybe renamed the Robert Blake Memorial Off-Road Wrecker Games?
So much envy for the folks that could go out there for this. I heard it was as awesome and wholesome as I imagined it would be. So glad it was a success and everyone had a great time!
Dude me too. I love how this channel is an umbrella for everyone featured in the games. Such a great community. I’m all the way out in Massachusetts working on building a rock crawler to eventually go out and break so I can call Matt haha
It was fun and very wholesome. Everyone was super friendly and all the RUclips personalities were very approachable. The interactions and involvement for kids was top notch.
It was awesome. Nothing but good energy.
Grateful they made it and shared it for free. How kind is that? 😊🙏 ❤
Yea exactly. I have leaned more towards the Utah offroad youtube community this past year for entertainment than any mainstream show.
Eric has such a heart of gold. I'm so happy to see him get a lift for his shop. No one deserves it more.
Best Calab on RUclips. Thank you everyone who participated and to everyone that got to be there!. Great job on leaving the trails cleaner than you found them.
So happy for the OG, Eric from BSF, getting that Challenger lift. One of the most hardworking, humble guys out there
So nice to see his reaction, such humble tears of joy, yeah!
Not only was this event fun, thrilling, and entertaining. It was heart warming, welcoming and brought us all together as a family. Whether we were there in person or watching from home. Thank you to everyone. Staff, competitors, or just watching.
Greetings from Ukraine! Dear Matt, I would like to thank you for this great event and other RUclips activities on your channel. I have been fond of off-roading here in Ukraine for several years, but the last year made all our hobbies move backward and was replaced by the war. While we here don't have time to party as you did on a Wrecker Games, your videos help me to distract for a moment and dive into an extraordinary life of the off-roading. I love how you treat your team as your family and support others. Hellos to Lizzy, Tomtom, Edd, and others. We will fight back our territories and finish this war with Ukraine's victory asap. After that, I plan to travel to the USA to see you and shake your hand. Thank you once more. Please, proceed to do what you are doing because this is an excellent example of good people's behavior. P.S. Sorry for my English )
It's a shame what foreign influence has done to Ukraine.. History should not forget the leadup to current events lest we fail to have any objective ability to make sense of it.
@THEMETIS UA: Your English is excellent! Prayers for your wonderful country and your valiant people from the United States.
F off with your ukrop propaganda.
I'm another in the USA that support you and your people. I think of you often and your soon-to-be realized victory.
@@Roger-O 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Having been stuck at home, I am more than pleasantly surprised at how well the event went and how well it was covered by this channel! Seriously just as good, if not better than, a syndicated program on TV!
I look forward to looking at what the other channels did!
My biggest praise must go to the crowd that left no trash behind! It brought tears to my eyes to hear that a large group of people could come together and have 3 days of fun and not leave a heap of garbage!
I also would like to acknowledge the lack of alcoholic beverages and containers shown in this video.
I also loved where Matt was fist bumping all the kids and the one kid had the foam hand!
Matt seems like such a beautiful person! ...and he has mad skills when it comes to the off-road recovery stuff!
This was a fantastic watch....I hope I can attend in person in the future! 💛
Matt, thank you so much for making such a concerted effort to help Eric and build up his channel because no one has donated more time to help people in the off-road community than he has👍👍👍👍👍
Not just people the parks and events he goes to the man just gives I'm glad he got that lift it'll definitely be a game changer for bsf challenger definitely stepped up and saw how deserving he was he's no spring chicken and IDK how he's got along without a lift my lift and my pit are 2 things I couldn't do without if I built a new shop and I've had mine since I was 27 and built my big shop to get indoors with my big projects I'm on my 5th lift upgrade my 1rst was the big air cylinder coming out the floor that's how long I've had 1 you were very limited on what you could do with them that antique is still in the shop designated for lube jobs now when the pits busy
@@davidwoermansr Totally agree! I previously mentioned that half of Eric’s videos seem to be of him talking to his viewers while he is laying under his truck fixing something. My friend used an ancient cylinder lift for years and had to work around it almost every day👍
@@stevez340 they have their place but challenger has definitely set the standard imo I have 2 and when it's time to replace my other 3 indoor post lifts I'm getting 1 of their 4 post and 2 more 2 post lifts I'll stow away 2 of my current lifts and put 1 more outside it's nice to have 1 out back for washing under vehicles before working on them it'll have to be better having 2 right
RIP Robert. ❤ what an awesome event and what an incredible community and team! Can really see this becoming massive over the years as it deserves to be! Could be a great way to honour Robert and raise money for charity in the future!
Love
It's definitely a destination vacation
Looks like it was a ton of fun. Interesting that Matt was the only one who actually carried his car for the whole trail ride. Usually i just figure that whatever Rory does is the right way but what Matt did seemed to work well too.
This a monumental editing job... and very creative as well.
We all get to meet and get to know the awesome people who build these magnificent beasts... but it's a shame we rarely see (and never get to know) the wonderful people behind the scenes... Like the editors, for starters.
For example, last year's Christmas Party would have been an ideal time to have gone round the tables and introduced us, instead of the endless (and deserved) giveaways... You even sometimes have people in the back seats who don't even get a mention.
We love this extended 'family' a lot - no need to hide them.
I got chills when they gave Eric the lift. Such a great community.
Eric is such a great guy, I know he really appreciates all you guys did to help him out. He is the reason I found your channel.
I've known Eric since I was a kid I am 42 now. Go Wisconsin Guys.
I've been watching him since he had less than 2500 subs and had the pleasure of meeting him and getting his help a couple times when I went to Michigan and detoured to Wisconsin on my way home I have family there so I went wheeling and busted my rig because I knew it could be recovered with Eric on his home turf the first time he recovered both my yota and square body the second time just my square body he's a great guy even helped fix my Chevy instead of wheeling when he wasn't recovering
The off-road community in a whole is absolutely amazing. Some of the best people I've ever met. Loving, caring, giving group you could ever spend time with
I've only just begun entering into "off road", I tripped with my uncles back in the sixties and seventies, in my teens, only just finally bought a jeep this year and began my journey into this "sport". This event was great to watch, even if half a year later. I've gotten used to events that don't trash the world, but this has been exceptional. What a great crowd showed up in support.
I remember those early clips of Rory trying to talk to the camera. Even though it was awkward you could tell it was the right move. Rory is a real character!
Matt, you knocked it out of the park. What a great bunch of folks coming together that made this even possible. The teams, all the behind the scenes folks, sponsors & volunteers. Good on you boyo! And godspeed home to you Robert Blake
❤
Seeing how much this means to Eric and him showing his emotions has me crying right along with him. That man deserves the world
Matt, as flatlanders here in Ohio, we watch your videos in amazement. We loved the games, the whole spirit of the event and the wonderful contestants. Thanks to you we have been watching all the RUclips videos of their prep for this event and all the fun you fellows have when you get together. The compassion that shows through all these events, with everyone helping each other and the love of this difficult sport. We are going to watch every minute of all of them as I'm sure you intended us all to do. We send our sympathy to Robert's Family and were not surprised by the gofundme accounts or the donation of the "bribe" money from all the judges. Good clean, and a little sandy, fun and good family entertainment for all of us who hold our breath as you climb those rocks with big grins on your faces. You have introduced us to all these wonderful people that you know and we are all better for the knowing. Thank you all, and yes, we will be watching.
Ohio Farmers
Assuming your in north western ohio, they are lots of places east and south in ohio that have big hills and stuff to play around in, nothing like out there but ohio gets alot less flat the further east or south you go lol
@@jessegrunden7326 I live in SE Ohio. What I lack is the backbone to climb the hills! Bite my nails just watching these rock climbers and thinking, that does not even resemble a road. Never the less we watch them each evening.
It warms my heart to know how amazing your fans are Matt! Your fans leaving no trash, they are as CLASSY as you are Sir! You have THE BEST channel on RUclips, hands down! Thank you for this amazing event, that was a ton of fun to watch.
It's called
Conservative Values.
God and Country.
🇺🇸♥️😇👍
@@donothingMTIAMG YUP !! Keeping our air, water and earth clean is the number one priority for real American patriots.
100% agree!
No trash, no drunken parties, no drugs. What a pleasant change compared to what other events do. 😎
That is amazing
BSF Eric is the true OG wrecker. I am so proud of the job he did. I thank you so much for having them there.
I just had to come back a few days later and post a comment. The Event was Great and all of the coverage from each channel was great to watch also. I am just a little disappointed that none of the competitors thanked you Matt. You and your team made it all happen, and I feel you have really helped all of their platforms grow to what they are. Maybe they said something in person, but they should say thank you on video. Keep up the great content and look forward to more Heavy Wrecker
It is fantastic to see a community like this come together, have fun, and not be drama filled!
Well done to all concerned. Planners, videographers, contestants, helpers and everyone working behind the scenes.
An hour and a half of Matt’s off-road recovery, and everyone else?! Doing a bunch of cool stuff, and having a blast?! Yes please!!
I love the emphasis on cleaning up the trails. Great event, great spectators. You guys have set the bar pretty high for any similar future events. Loved every minute of it!
I'm truly sorry for your loss, between that and the comrades you guys have for one another is amazing, I'm not one to cry but this has been so amazing and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I truly hope I can make it next year. If the world was like this, we'd live in a much better place
This is absolutely incredible! The amount of people who came together and the companies who sponsored...what an awesome event.
I live in Argentina and I find myself getting teared up with this, don´t know why. I guess it´s allways nice to see hard working people with family values comming together and doing something like this just because it could be fun and it is. Congrats form the south hemisphere and hope to visit ya´ll one day.
The off-road and derby communities are like that they enjoy building their machines to beat on them to put a show on for the fans the off-road community also likes to get together and just enjoy nature and have fun in the most beautiful playgrounds when nobody is watching a competition that's why they keep the places clean to many have closed because of disrespectful people leaving trash and going off trail
Destination vacation, si?
Paulo, when you get a chance to come here you got a place to stay. Hit me up when you make plans and I'll take you to Yellowstone National Park.
I live in Australia I teared up also ❤, thanks for all
New Zealand all the way. Southern hemisphere family loving the whole show. I've been watching every RUclips production for years. Thank you all so much for letting us come along for the ride.
Hey Matt, good job with this competetion. It would be nice to see The Recovery Games become an annual nationwide event in different terrains found all accross the country. Not all interested spectators are able to travel long distances. Just a thought. Thank you and all participants for the experience.
Who would believe this ! Well done MORR. Us armchair offroaders really appreciate you taking us along with you! Robert would have loved this!
Should take a moment to thank the drivers in the tow vehicles. They were an integral part of the teams. So awesome to see such a great event & how well it came together. All of you deserve high praise for a clean & family friendly event!
Lizzy the great sport. Matt left her hanging for hours. I hope Paul paid the chiropractor bill for Ben. Agree, the tow vehicle drivers were fantastic. It will probably come out one day that Shawn had a motor in his and pushed Rory up the mountain. 🙃
Matt, this was such a great idea! You are surrounded by an amazing group of people too. When your judges all gave up their “bribe” money for Paige, I was legit in tears! To see such compassion from all of them was just awesome to see!!! May God bless you:-)
Thanks Matt's Off Road Recovery and everyone who helped to make this event happen. Unbeilvably done and a 100% enjoyed it. You all help make home bound people still enjoy and live vicariously though all your adventures.. :) 👍👍
Look forward to next years event???????
Man this video is so well put together the audio from the v8s came through so well. Amazing job guys. Love the channel.
That track was way tougher than I expected! I would want Rory to recover my vehicle, Paul to recover my enemy’s vehicle, Merlin to put on a show, and Matt to take me for a ride
I had an absolute blast, and meeting all of you in person was awesome. Even though everyone was really busy with the event, you still took the time to meet the fans. Thank you Matt and everyone involved. This was such a fun and unique experience, I really hope that there are more to come.
the care you guys put into making sure all garbage not just your own was cleaned up is exactly why i’m subscribed to this channel. good CLEAN fun that i can watch with my kid
You guys have taken an underrated, labor intensive, underpaid, insurance fighting, police aggravating, customer maddening job and made it COOL!
You guys have literally revolutionized towing, THANK YOU!
All of the participating athletes are crazy-capable world-class drivers. Somehow though, Rory's style of technical driving and team dynamics is the most impressive to me. So much entertainment in this event, it's truly groundbreaking.
Eric is the same way with being calculated and technical for the least built rig for those conditions he didn't give up and just kept repairing and plugging along
@@davidwoermansr Just wait till next year...I'm betting his truck will be "BUILT" for that one!! And he'll be a force to be reckoned with. GO ERIC/B.S.F TEAM!!!
@@kevinbogart9737 the lift will be a game changer working on the bsf wrecker I think they should switch venues each year so a different competitor has home field advantage each year
What an awesome event! Thanks for putting this on. RIP Robert and condolences to your wife, family and incredible friends. Once I knew Merlin had won the wild card, I knew people would be amazed. All the athletes were awesome! The OG BSF brought a game of experience. Rory was Rory, methodical and calculating. Paul delivers the good stuff, always entertaining. Matt, your wrecker is a beast and it is a force to be reckoned with. Nice work by everyone! Last, but not least, the way the fans left the place better than they found it speaks volumes. Can't wait til next time
Totally agree! What an awesome experience!
In a world of depressing news and negativity all over the internet. I can't tell you how refreshing it is seeing something like this come together. Absolutely fantastic! I have a challenger VLE10 lift myself in my shop, and seeing them sponsor Eric with a lift makes me even happier I supported a company like that. Cheers from Canada.
The real hero in this video is everyone that was behind this video that was never shown and Lizzy, what a trooper to take that ride behind The Worlds Largest Wrecker in such rough terrain.
I remember Matt saying he wouldn't pick Pau as a spotter because "he doesn't care about scratched paint or roll overs" every time Paul tears something up. Started with Blue Steel's Headlight and hood. LOL
So funny. 😂😂😂
And when Matt was spotting for that Yankum guy, it looked like he was trying to run Matt over. (when he rolled)
I can’t explain how happy I am right now seeing a video longer than an hour. This video should be multiple hours!
well if paul, rory, merlin and Eric all make 1,5h of content you will have 7,5h of content, and i bet most of the judges and some of the crew will do videos on this as well so that's probably 3-4h of content as well.
I found you guys through the doughnut collaboration and I CANT STOP WATCHING the recoveries I’m loving, this one is phenomenal! Keep on keeping on I’ve been watching your videos for like three hours straight now 🤣
Thank you Matt and everyone involved for putting this together! It was a great event with a lot of fantastic people. Getting to meet the contestants and other spectators, it is evident how mindful and respectful everyone here was. I hope to be able to attend again in the future, you all have put together a great event.
Taking the time to talk to fans and just be a real person means a lot and has only raised my respect for you. Take care and God bless!
As awesome as this event was, as great as the people are, my favorite part is how no one left trash laying around. There's a lot of great people in these communities. I can't tell you how many events I've been to where we've packed out several trash bags worth of trash from a small area.
Thank you Matt (and everyone else involved) for giving me almost an hour and a half of nothing but smiles and laughs! The part with the eulogy for Robert Blake was very sad, tho. I was so impressed with the corrupt judges donating their bribes to Paige Blake. Now I can't wait for next year!!!
Matt, you commented on how clean the fans left the park, that is fabulous.
We did cross country motorcycle races years ago. One of the nicest venues we camped and road at was basically a horse establishment. The owner commented as we were finishing a weekend that we left the place cleaner that the folks that it was built for.
It’s not the majority that trash the places, it’s the individuals that think they don’t have to behave that hurt our community.
Fun event to watch on RUclips!!!
Really Matt and all of your crew YOURE AWESOME
All the respect that was given to the trail just shows the quality of views that Matt attracts. I’d say one of the most stand up, humble guys in the off-road business. I normally try to stay away from his videos because they’re addicting… I end up watching 5 or so
Damn, from just watching Matt recover vehicles by himself or with Ed, to this, it's been quite a journey!
Such an amazing weekend! I can already tell my face is going to hurt from smiling while watching 😊
Let's be honest.... Matt obviously won the games lol. He was being VERY diplomatic when he told the judges to make sure he gets last place 🤣 it just shows what kind of people they are. They for sure the nicest and most down to earth people out there. So selfless and kind. To the entire crew I thank you for all that you do. 👌
What an amazing group of people. You must be so proud of your employees and volunteers. It looked like it was well organized.
Ah, yes, Rory from Trail Mader, the man who invented sand, the miraculous substance that revolutionized the world of off-road recovery in Utah. With sand, you can get unstuck from even the stickiest of mud pits and treacherous terrain. It’s no wonder that Rory is considered the gold standard of off-road recovery. If you ever find yourself stranded in the Utah wilderness, just remember the name Rory and his magical invention of sand. It’s like having a genie in a bottle, but instead of wishes, you get traction.
Okay, so who else got misty eyed with Eric's time and the presentation of the lift? I'll admit it!! And he was the first off-road recovery i started watching. Amazing and humble!
This is such good entertainment. No cable for us. Love this group of people
What an insanely respectful crowd - the instantaneous silence was heartwarming. If you were there you are beautiful...
What an event! With Covid lock downs, political turmoil, world problems, it is nice to see everyone coming together for common, clean, entertainment. These guys rock!
Matt wearing a jacket is crazy to see. It must have been a little cold considering he goes out in the middle of a snow storm without one.
It was chilly with the rain and a slight breeze (I was cold). Then when I got back in the car I looked at the temperature outside and it was 52 degrees which shocked me. The weather down there in Southern Utah is way different then where I am from in eastern Wyoming.
Being out in the cold for 10 or 15 minutes is different than being in the cold for hours
Ideas for next year's events: (1) Reverse drag race, (2) Reverse drag race pushing a trailer, (3) Reverse slalom course, and (4) Reverse slalom course pushing a trailer.
I'm surprised by your surprise. People are absolutely entertainment starved. After the fear mongering of 2020, an outside venue is the safest party to attend. Plus, with the current death of Hollywood, people would love anything entertaining to watch. Actual reality TV was a big hit, then that was completely bastardized by the money hungry media mogels. Any channel that's a feel good wholesome community with that reality TV production feel is always going to do well; but especially more now then ever. And to say that you're surprised by the cleanliness of all those fans is also something else that shouldn't come as a surprise. Watching the wholesomeness of their assumed favorite channel that promotes said cleanliness and respect in your operation area, the fans are actually just mimicking the culture that has been created by that fandom. Keep on being a great dude, and hosting a great feelgood channel.
What a great idea this was.
I think you should definitely make this an annual event.
Maybe try different terrains, like seeing how all the wreckers would do in BSF territory, the midwest.
In the snow and mud.
Also great to hear the spectators and participants were respectful and cleaned up after themselves . Trophies to them as well
I think this is a great idea, would be cool to see how each wrecker does having a home field advantage
Through it all Lizzy kept a runway model’s smile on her face.
This was a blast!
Do have to say it was a blast watching this from home , I linked my phone to the big screen and man I didn't even see one piece of napkin or a crushed soda can on the ground anywhere and would love to also thank those who showed up for the games and for their support as well as the other spectators who left the park in "pristine shape" and also loved how some also helped flip over some of the recovery rides to help keep the games going so smoothly and kept it fun without a ton of boring waiting time. I had to pause this a few times just because I didn't want to miss one second of this one..glad a few other channels also recorded it so will be glad to watch it again from another added perspective per each channel if i have the time to knock them out one after the other lol. Sadden I couldn't even attend it because I would have taken my family out there but the transmission and or the transfer case in my jeep is done for so it's not going anywhere anytime soon which sucks bc i love that jeep and even had gotten depressed a bit after breaking my leg and not being able to work or do anything really to get it fixed since the wife is the only one working at the moment to keep up ok the bills.. have thought about some schooling but haven't quite found anything local that is dedicated to that one thing instead of a bunch of other stuff just for some credits. But now it's gotten to point of needing to work more than I need to learn something new. This channels specifically and fab rats have helped me a great bit to wanna keep pushing forward but the broken leg hasn't quite healed up yet so gonna take some bit of rehabbing it to get anywhere near back to normal since the knee buckles a ton now and hurts a ton for 2 more days so can't trust it to walk around on for work yet. So love watching these videos in the mean time..n
Obviously, you have your fans and your many admirers. It's clearly obvious to myself and, I suspect most others, that you folks at Matt's Off Road Recovery are truly nice and patriotic people. Well done to all of you. And keep up the great work! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.
HEY, HELL YES! We have been waiting for this! Good MORRning everybody and thumbs UP to Matt and crew!! 👍💥⚠👀
All the stories and Eric receiving a lift for his shop choked me up a lil, this is absolutely amazing ❤
Well my cousin and I were unable to make the trek out to the Wrecker Games this year cause of the great ol gift called the flue! My wife n one son had it the week prior to the games, I couldn't take the chance of getting it while traveling or there and most of all I wouldn't wanna spread it to hundreds of people!!! So mark my words you'll see us next year and Matt we'd luv to come out 4, 5 days or a week early and volunteer our time and muscle to yall! Yes we wanna be volunteers for next year's games! Please and thank u, Great day and God bless!!
Omg you guys are just great people. Matt I can't get over how generally good nature and team player you are. Also I really seen just how stupidly powerful the nugget or wrecker is...
Everyone a the event is awsome. If there's a next year I want to fly in and see it
I deliberately didn't watch anyone else's videos until I'd seen yours. But I will now. Brilliant job all round, pat on the back for EVERYONE involved. RIP Robert.
I think Matt was able to showcase that not only is his wrecker the largest, but it is also the most capable. That thing crawls up everything even with Lizzy hanging back there.
Those giant tires aired down like they were puts som much tire in contact with the ground its hard to imagine it having any slip at all lol
Not sure why this made me emotional. What awesome people you all are and the fact that people showed up and managed to keep the area clean. Is beyond impressive. What an amazing community you have created. If this happens again. You best believe ill make a road trip out for this.
Made this comment before I finished the video. RIP Robert
Matt the wrecker you and your crew put together is truly an awesome piece of equipment!
Matt really is a natural entertainer. So many great people. Making me think i should move lol.
Looks like it was a great event! Amazing to watch what you were able to create here. The only thing missing was an appearance by Ed - hope he's ok.
One of the most anticipated videos on RUclips and it doesn't disappoint! Incredible performance for a vehicle custom built from the ground up. Everyone else used a truck platform. This is possible the best use of RUclips since it started. I wish all of America would watch this and see how connected we all really are as Americans! Robert, may God watch over you in his kingdom!
Thank you to all involved in making this event, laugh out loud, happy ,sad, terrifying, it was great!
