Attempting the Hot Tub on Hell's Revenge in Moab

Alright, I saw this while riding two weeks ago with a friend of mine in Moab and couldn't resist at least giving it a go. As you can see it got the better of me this time but I will be back to conquer this little bad boy in the future and will be sure to post it once I do. By the way notice how at the end of the video I go to pick up my bike, like I have a hundred times before, and slip on the oily surface in the bottom of the pit and have the bike land right on my chest. It hurt more than the crash...especially to my ego!

Enjoy the carnage! ;)

By the way...not to state the obvious, but Moab is just waaaay too much fun!!

I think you should have tried it the other way..
Did the skid plate do it`s job, that big long scraping noise down was eeery sounding..

...the noise made me a bit nervous too...especially since I heard it but didn't see it. The thing that made the noise and the scrape back down the hill was the peg and it was unscathed. I had a very small scrape on the pipe and that was it...no other damage at all. I was pleasantly surprised to just pick the bike up, on the second attempt of course, and ride right out.

That looks like suicide. I watched a couple vids of jeeps attemptimg that and the results werent much better.
