hey guys, this was from yesterday, coming down a hill. I felt fairly confident with the descent, but on the teeter at the end it was a little more that i thought it was, i'm not sure how much further it could safely teeter, and my rear bumper and the rear step bumped a little "damnit". good times, but any driving advice on that descent would be appreciated . . . it looks like maybe i should have cut left to keep from teetering as far? not sure.

bump

Depends what you wanted to do ... the hill you came down, to me, just looks a little awkward and nothing to bother about. If you really want it analysed I'd say yes, you should have gone left and not teetered at all. It's better if you can stop the front end coming up as the rear is going down, and dropping the left wheels into the small rut earlier on would have stopped any 'teetering'.

If all you wanted was a 'good looking for the video' roll down hill then you got it about right .. it looks a bit wobbly to anyone who doesn't drive off-road, but in reality that particular descent looks and pobably was really very tame.
