Mickey's Hot Tub

[Jefe]

Ok, What's the correct line without flopping? The right side feels less tippy. Ive made it out twice now with a strap on the front to keep my front from going over after getting to the point where I'm sitting on my spare.

[MountainJeep]

Momentum is the correct line

[CapnCrunch]

Just right of center seems like it's the best. It's what worked for me, anyway.

x2 on the strap. :thumbsup:

I use the "go way the fawk around that big hole in the ground" method.

Haul ass on the right side, or go around :)

I follow the "watch 'em turtle in 12" of stinky water/oil/gas/muck and then help winch 'em out after taking pics" strategy. :D

Jefe, it was good to meet ya in Moab. :beer:

Good extraction video.

I've done it in my Yota... so this was operator error?

Yeah thats not the line. You can see he turned the wheels to the left wich is where most people screw up. Its going to come over to the left even if you dont turn the wheels. Turn em left and you are pretty well on your lid. My dad can blip right through that by keeping the wheels a little to the right and dont worry when the left front lifts off the rock a little. This he learned of course after doing exactly the same as your bud in the vid his first time.

I don't think that's mickies. looks like the next one over. That one doesn't look deep enough.

[Jefe]

That's mickeys.

[kPs]

That's mickeys.

x2. The big one is carwash.

[longboy]

Looks like she hit it on a dry day too...

[Jefe]

Lil bit of mud in the bottom when we went, but not enough to be a problem.

[CGuava]

So, big one is carwash? Small one is mickey's? Ohhhhh :idea:

I was wondering how you made it out of the big one twice, that thing scares me. Doesn't help when someone says, "be careful, you can go over backwards" right before you drop in. Hope Moab was fun, heard about some of your issues! Atleast you got to play in the mud ;)

[Steve]

So, the big one at the top is Car Wash and the small one down a bit is Micky's? Does the other easy large one at the top have a name?

[cmd11]

Mickey's is sort of a practice run for the hot tub. Very similar contour, but the car wash is steeper and has a longer climb. I have yet to make it out of the hot tub unassisted, but I haven't tried it yet with the link suspension. I did do Mickey's a few times last week and it was pretty easy. The car wash is the easy one.

So what's the one all the way at the top that a low rider bicycle can make it out of?

Great trip, no breakage, some steering issues on the way back, but I think I have those bugs worked out.

Oh, and there was no mud playin:flipoff2:

[newracer]

According to traildamage the small one at the top is "bath tub," next to that is the big deep one "car wash," and further down the trail is the smaller but still steep one "mickey's."

That's the bathtub. It's way easier then the others.

[CapnCrunch]

Which one is this one (http://www.fivethirty.com/videos/2006JoeMBT2.avi)? This is me doing one of them (was under the impression it was Mickey's).

[JKTODD]

I always thought that the first one was the car wash.

The second huge one-The Black Hole-Cyclemut went over baackwards in that thing as well.

The third one is Mickey's.

That was what a local from Moab told me anyway.

This is correct.

Capt - that one is Mickey's

As stated, on Mickey's constant momentum is the key. You don't have to hammer it, but if you stop, back all the way off and give it another go.

[jtw2]

bah, I had em all mixed up apparently.

Huh, first time I've seen that video. My EB is on the other end of the winch rope that pulled him back over. That water was nasty.
