This past weekend at NEUROC we were doing pretty good on a course when we got the rig on a bad line(may fault totally) and rolled...and rolled...and rolled.

Our shop did the full cage back in May before the first comp so I was (reasonably) sure it would hold up. It feels good when he walked away without a scratch.
Looks like the Jeep just wanted to be upside down. You were pretty close to that first roll, scary stuff.
Must be nice to know that he was going to be ok because of your work though.
How'd the Jeep fair?
OUCH!
One thing I noticed (and of course I know the camera doesn't do the hill or depth perception justice) was that you turned your back on the rig a few times when it appeared that the rig could roll on you at any point. Is that so or is the camera making it look different than what it was?
After the first roll, why roll it furthur. Why not winch it upright?

if you have to get help then you get a 40 for the course. if you can roll back your self you can finish the course. people roll all the time and drive out of it to finish the course with good scores.

as long as it rig goes between the cones it does.
last year at finals jesse haines rolled his buggy, threw it in reversw while upsidedown and drive thru the finish gate on his side.
if dan would have rolled a little further he would have made it

After he and his 300+ lbs. of manhood jumped on my back unexpectedly at the park before we left I knew he was feeling a little frisky. 
are you sure when he jumped on your back... he wasn't in the rutting season

I think it goes the OTHER way around!
buckley jumped on zach when we were leaving paragon, i think this was zach's revenge.
i am suprised zach didnt fall over when buckley jumped on him, he was moving pretty fast when he hoped on zachs back.
...just stirring the pot. 
Notice how Aaron and Chris are climbing the Jeep to get away from them?
