    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!

    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 )

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.

    Matt, absolutely awesome how you instigated all of this, the people, the vendors, the food & drink companies, the shuttles, etc...Its mind boggling to think how you organized this! Your efforts were great and the blessings to all of us even "MORR"! :-) God bless!!
