Is this the same joy ride where that woman went off off road? You all should be more careful. jmo

I like that "We're going to take a breather and let you collect yourself". Good on ya to provide space for a fellow driver to clear the cobwebs before proceeding.

20:46 So who is that going UP the wrong way?

Are shorter wheel base 2 doors more likely to have that happen? (Obviously the wrong line)

Hi, Nicolas, first time watching your channel, nice work on recovering the red jeep! You were cool calm and well collected. I am from Los Angeles California I drive a new 22 Toy Taco off-road 9 ½ on a stock TRD lift and stock GY tires. Cali has some moderate road climbs and steep and deep trails but nothing like Black Bear Pass. There is a high concentration of Taco owners in Cali that love pro-off-roading and steep trails. I come from the JDM world to learn all I can about the off road and deep trail community. Thank you for providing real handling content on all your Black bear trips. Seeing all your Jeep axel shots and seeing gravel vs loose rocks and crazy thin dirt gives me good insight on tire and wheel handling. Superb real unscripted content! Thank you

So she rolled it on the straight stretch..??? Tf

just walk it; no jeep payment, no insurance payment, you will enjoy the scenery, I know I did...mostly. Thanks for the scenery!

This was good practice for women

great job. scary stuff

Dear Lord. That was self-inflicted. If she had just eased the brakes and let the car slowly slide down the rock it would have been fine. Needless drama by being too scared to follow clear orders given by male instructor.

I drove over Black Bear Pass in the late 1980's with a stock 1986 Toyota 4x4 pickup with a manual transmission and no lock out differentials or posi-traction which made the switchbacks pretty challenging. Certainly erosion has deteriorated road conditions since then but then the increased traffic has probably made the switchbacks a little easier. I remember one switchback where my opposite tires were very close to being completely unweighted and I had yet to back up, ugh! My heart rate gets up a bit when my vehicle is tilting in the direction I am turning, ugh! Good job of hanging in there gal, not to worry about getting a little upset about the situation. And good job for putting weight on the right rear! Erosion on all the un-maintained roads on our U. S. Federal Government public lands have definitely made many roads more challenging. There are several that are now not doable in the old 86 Toyota because of no locker and inadequate ground clearance. Just a few weeks ago I turned around on a road out of Silverton in my 2004 F350 4X4 that in the 1970's I drove my two wheel drive 1964 F250 over. Times are changing and the road(s) ahead are only going to become more difficult....and more dangerous.

Take that ledge high on the right then turn driver into the off camber and keep rolling through it. Numerous rollovers there over the past few years.

They’ve widened the switchbacks since my day. No Gladiator could have ever made that in the 80s

None of you should be there.Hike it or bike it This is all just stupidity

This might sound odd to some people, but for me, going up in my 4 inch lifted TJ was more challenging then coming down. Angled upward, you can't always see everything in front. Yes, there is a psychological fear factor when looking deep down a mountain/valley, but I can also see all of my options. In a way, it keeps any fears at bay while allowing me to focus on what's ahead. Some might ask: "Well, where does fear come into play?" To that I would say: "The fear kept at bay teaches me calmness and control."

DIDN'T ANYONE TELL THIS WOMAN THAT OFF ROAD DRIVING IS FOR BOYS OR AT THE VERY LEAST FOR PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE, MEANING ONE DOES NOT DRIVE OFF OF A ONE PLUS FOOT DROP, WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILL ON A LEFT LEANING SLOPE WHERE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL DROPS DOWN OFF OF THAT ONE PLUS FOOT DROP IN A SHORT WHEEL BASE VEHICLE! FACT OF THE MATTER THIS PERSON SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING DOWN A SWITCH BACK ROAD THOUSANDS OF FEET UP THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN CALLED BLACK BEAR TRAIL, AND ESPECIALLY NOT WITH PANIC ISSUES! SOUNDS LIKE A PERFECT RECIPE A REALLY BAD DAY!

if your back tire is off the ground and your rig is tipping like that hit the gas a little don't stop

Going off road into the outback is MORE dangerous now than ever because of two species: 1. Non trained drivers in high performance off road rigs: Don't know how to drive off road, never taken courses, never practiced. A hazard to everyone on the trail and themselves. 2. Fat, out of physical shape humanoids: if ever injured or out of condition, immediately become a burden to everyone else. It's sad technology is giving this species a free ride into quarters once reserved ONLY for the fit and experienced. There are so many morons out there in their modified (usually stupidly ) rigs that are a danger to everyone and themselves. I can do better with a 69 volkswagen bug.

I'm thinking a containment seat and a helmet would've really helped out. Having an accident that far away from help would prolly be worth it.

I could do that in a car….

She doesn't seem to have the temperment for that level of off roading. But alls well that ends well. Glad it don't go fully sideways.

A lot of people don’t have any business driving on trails like this if they are absolutely terrified shitting themself trying to even make a simple turn on a flat section of the trail.

I love that you guys take care of each other. If u ever get a jeep I'd want to ride in your group. It's like when you learned to ride a bike. We were scared but slowly got better. No need to judge or rude comments

Why go out to a beautiful location like this where you become one with the environment and nature - and think you know what I really need is the radio on??? Unreal.

Im just wondering why you would tell her to back up in the first place.....

"I'm a father. Take your kid out wheeling, and see if you don't do dumb stuff too." 🤣 Perfect!

I like the American flag …. That way you know what country your in 😂😂😂

WOMEN ARE SO WEAK WHEN SHIT GETS SERIOUS ITS PATHETIC TO WATCH

The chick in the orange Jeep should not be on any trails. She doesn’t have a clue.

And that was an EASY maneuver!!! How did she make it down alive????

What beautiful views. Love how you all were guiding and not taking over. There is nothing better than learning, now she can reflect on how she did this and can do so much more! Great job all of you!

NIce channel ,keep up the awesome job. Just small request for Newbie like myself, would you please add a little of narrative of what gear are you on is certain areas , like climbing and descending speed etc .

One of my favorite quotes comes to mind... "Fear is healthy, panic is deadly". Great video, enjoyed watching!

I was sure you'd have filled that hole with rock before you left. Nah.

Dude hasn't much experience being on the wrong side of a roll-over.

This Trail is absolutely not for amateurs!!!!!

Absolutely need more experience if you're going to freak out that bad you shouldn't be on the harder trails!

someone that freaks out like that shouldnt be driving here lol everyone else was FINE

Knowledge is power listen and learn excellent video 👍

I stopped watching as soon as I hear that you have names for your vehicles. Grow up and pull your head out of your ass.

I don't know why people prefer the line on the right, you can drive on the left shoulder with a solid front axle pretty flat. And people always cut to the passenger side when backing up on switchbacks, which will reduce your passenger side clearance.

Local sheriff calls you guys " asshats " too funny, have to agree,

That lady has NO business being on this trail, crying, and freaking out like that. She needs to stay on pavement and stick to the malls if that's the way she freaks out.

It takes experience and patience to drive that road. It’s not for idiots in their new truck. Practice somewhere safe until you always know exactly where all four wheels are all the time. Stand it up on three wheels until you know the balance perfectly as well. The first attempt should be with another expert in a second vehicle. I never had a problem. It’s a great ride.

Never been there. But I see people going down all the time, but nobody goin up. Is up not an option?

Now days anybody that has money and buys a 4X4 think they can drive offroad and many of them have no business what so doing so ever and putting other people in danger because of there lack of ability. I have seen a lot of stupid people driving off road in Colorado that had no business putting themself their family and others in danger.

Women are not confident drivers anywhere.Sorry but its true.

NO COMMENT!! Mama told me if I can’t say something nice don’t say nothing at all! I will ask the question though, do these people have a death wish??

I miss old Colorado. When we could go up a trail and almost nobody was on it. Now you have these clowns with their mall crawlers jamming up everything. And spotters? That trail doesn’t need spotters 😂

This is stupid on so many levels.
