Get ready for some fast pace intermediate level fun driving to start the session, as we need few real cars stuck  

 

Please be on time, sharp at 5:00 PM, little early is always better.

Please tune to Carnity Channel 1 - 446.006'25 freq.

Deflate your tires to 12 PSI as soon as you reach to the meeting point.

Be inside your car - AT ALL TIMES - after the deflation.

Thanks @Gaurav for an exciting first part where we drove fast , crisscrossing,  climbing without much momentum and pushing ourselves.  So many bushes scare me even more now , thinking when the tyres will pop out.

The drive ended with a perfect crest at a shaded area where we had a fantastic brushing up of all that we know and learn more. Really appreciate that you had to speak non stop for quite a long time, teaching us all the off road recovery details.

One question was lingering in my mind , which I forgot to ask yesterday.  Can we recover a car which is crested front to back ( in the center from front end to back while ridge riding) without a tug  and only using a shovel. ?

Some pictures uploaded in the gallery. Special thanks to the kids (Junior @Vanessa8580 & @Frederic with Junior @Matti Brockman)for making noodles or whatever they call in the whole area where we were sitting.( picture in the gallery and video below, 

it looks  beautiful!).  Edited September 5, 2020 by Chaitanya D

Hi @Chaitanya D great job , I read your question regarding self recovery on ridge stuck by self recovery with no shoveling , yes it’s possible and I have seen it . But I leave the detailed answer to @Gaurav as I am still learning as we all do 😊

Is the car doing the “ shoveling “ ? Diff lock ?🤔
