Lion's Back - Moab

This was shot with a $20 pin hole camera mounted to my roof. I sped up the video some. As it took 10 mins to come down. Enjoy

[@kingbrude]

Thats the best 4x4 vid Ive seen on here, Id love to see this track in real life but thats as close as im ever gunna get to it, thanks for the ride.

[@Rayfik]

Jaw dropping!! Excellent driving skills! Scary as hell! Kudos!! Be safe!

[@kevinmosleyI]

Awesome vid!! Looks way different and scarier now!

[@j33per]

Very impressive trail this! Such a shame it's closed now. Great video but, OMG, what the hell is that music?

[@Krawlergarage]

Nice vid great control Ice cold. some one said lions back is closed now. How sad

[@Barbarian216]

Great shot...keeps you on your toes! One slip off the edge and its adios amigo!

[@Jeepchixful]

AHHH! That last part All I saw was dirt! O_O

[@LuisReissig]

excelente!!! la musica ayuda! alguien sabe que grupo es?

[@woodwhips]

best footage of this on youtube! crazy man

[@R3DB3ARD]

Awesome vid. Perfect video perspective too.

[@PrincetonFilms]

that was freking awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@Le_Sourpuss]

but excellent video! Amazing!

[@theninja001]

isn't lion's back closed now?

[@fj40garage]

Been there, done that, its exiting and maybe fears the folks that have vertigo problems. Big bummer would be a gearbox breakage or similar. ;) Its a shame that its sold and closed now but there are much more dangerous and difficult spots around.

[@Bassmaster3250]

EXTREEEEEEME!!!

[@BrenGun1971]

Alright, what do you mean a "pinhole" camera? I know what one is in the world of traditional still photography, but not how it relates to a video camera. Cool video anyways.

[@outskirtscustoms]

it's not THAT steep remember the cam is mounted on top of the vehicle, don't get me wrong speaking as someone who has driven those same exact tire tracks it is a hell of a challange but as long as you have a capable rig and take your time you'll do just fine. I still hate the turn around at the top. Maybe I am nuts but I'd still like to try it in the rain.

[@climbjm]

@kowz4u it is closed. They closed it a couple of years ago. It's always been on private property. Close to the end they actually started charging people $20 a vehicle. Then they found out about the liability, and close it completely.

[@Amras0407]

I'd climb it...with a helicopter! Very nice video! Definitely 5 stars. I bet your brakes were hot enough to roast hot dogs on by the time you got to the bottom! I was involuntarily clenching up just watching this video...seriously some crazy stuff.

[@corkeash]

the fact that the ground around it isnt flat makes it look alot steeper than it actually is. especially using an onboard camera. Check out the video (donny's video truckin up lion's back) puts it all into perspective. it aint that bad

[@sageizel]

its to bad that it is closed now. at least i can say that i did climb it back it '92 in my stock '91 nissan p/u at night. if it was in the day time i dont know if i would of climb it. the couple of beers did heip

[@wickedjeeper]

I too have done this, it really isn't hard...just intimidating. It is now closed permanently and there will be condos built all around it. Good thing you got this video when you did, nice XTERRAs.

[@JSSJeepin]

it was purchased by someone who wanted to build condos at the base. I was there in June and they still haven't done anything with the land (Lions back was always private land btw).

[@natantaz]

@joshtrinh450 It can, but it will still be ugly. A Wrangler will do this with a smile, like it will do the Rubicon Trail. Try that with a stock Toyota Tonka ;-)

[@Mshine67]

One thing.. maybe the second truck should wait until the other one is done and out of the way.. It would suck it two drivers had to suffer because of the failing of another.

[@AlpineTribe]

His brother got the camera off ebay. It sat on the roof hooked up to a 9 volt battery and I cant believe how good the picture is!!!! Too bad that trail is shut down now...

[@outskirtscustoms]

Yeah it's about 60 degrees at the begining, First time I took my Sami up it I loved it. Especially looking at nothing but sky the first 20 feet or so.

[@tibaal89]

Elephant balls. No, the balls of some creature yet discovered by archaeologists. Yes, ballzasorous. Great video, really enjoyed it and your balls.

[@Insert1name1here]

@Bongwater123 The great thing about the rock there, it's like sandpaper, this isn't a real hard thing to do if you've got the grits for it.

[@Mjb317]

Couldnt imagine doing this in my old XJ without shitting my pants 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jaybee747]

You must have balls of steel to do that,jeez nearly shit myself just watching, how steep was the last 20 odd feet?,looked damn scarey

[@climbjm]

I'm sad they closed it. I remember watching a guy fly up the entire thing on a 2Cyl dirt bike seriously in less than 10 seconds.

[@marcel911]

Try that in this country (UK) and you'd be swamped by smelly vegetarians before you could get your engine started :(

[@1wickedfireman3]

Dude try going up the lians back!! Then see what that is like?? A real heart stopper Im sure!! !!!VIVA LOS BOMBEROS!!!

[@shyboyangelus]

lions back is probrably the scary'st off road drive in the world, shame its been closed off for ever by killjoys

[@w00tpolice]

Do you have to deflate the tires a little bit to do this? Or is it possible using normal street pressure..?

[@gksypher]

The owners of it sold it to some guy and was gonna build condo's at the Base next to it from what Ive read

[@xmoddriver16]

More Space between vehicles would be better cause if your brakes fail the guy in front of you is fucked

[@patrickdrosda]

SCHOW de bola!!! Onde fica esse lugar? Eu sempre vejo fotos e videos mas não sei onde é.. É nos EUA?

[@imoquecanarias]

best lion's back video or any 4x4 video for that matter. I wonder who was the first person to go down.

[@Therien]

Holy Sh*t... the videos from the bottom of Lion's Back dont do justice to how steep that is... good job!

[@rob180275]

well played!!!! without seeing it, i wouldn't have thought it possible at the end there. Great drive

[@OscarLimaMike]

Don't be crazy mon. there is a lot of great stuff in Moab, look at cliffhanger if you like danger...

[@Clairski3]

Holy moly. How on earth...?! Kudos for getting through that alive ... and catching it on film!

[@rnasap]

Insanely sick, if your ride fails, you're in a whole world of hurt! Pucker factor "10".

[@thesymphoniclife]

Yah at 3:34, Id just really regret the whole thing, shit my pants, and buy a prius.

[@w3bbgh0st]

This is where you need gears, a badass xfercase like an Atlas. Just idle down it

[@TheXJthatCould]

when you do lions back, you are literally putting your life in your rigs hands

[@TwinBoosted]

I am so wanting to go back to Moab! What is the name of the song and who from?

[@ellie1286]

why'd they close it down? i was hoping to get out there in about two weeks...

[@darraghryancork]

@Tugonthegoat Good brakes can't get slow you down if you have s**t tyres...

[@spedmister]

That camera must be tilted down a bit, doesn't matter. That video was SICK

[@k286]

Impressive. I'm more of a Jeep guy but I have always liked those XTerras.

[@dizznutts89]

i cant wait to take my 87 acura legend , and tear that back... ouch!!!

[@cod504]

I am so going there with my Jeep just need to get some new tires lol

[@TattooBull]

That shit was bad ass !!! next time I want to take my jeep ... lol

[@windrivercountrykid]

Ya they wouldn't want to were out the rock

[@royaltonrotors08]

at 2:30 even i got a little nervous...a tad too close to the edge.

[@Statikleoscamming]

i think we should add water and make it sliperry yay way more fun

[@wassupgeo]

fuckin hell, that was just a challenge to watch! you got balls!

[@MontyMotoBoy]

You gotta have some Big Kahuna's to drive down that...well done

[@whereiskrazydave]

It's way scarier then what you see in this video. Great job.+++

[@ohmster101]

I just got an xterra...just got to get the balls for that...

[@psikyc]

who wants to race for the best time?

[@jeff262630]

that looked nearly straight up and down! thats awsome!

[@kevinaster74]

if ure donig this u have got to have very good brakes

[@NandoCapone]

@TheBoyNamedNoize nahh, did you see that BIRD!!!!!!!!!

[@downhiller96rules]

nice vid has any oneever rode down it it would be gun.

[@Le_Sourpuss]

My heartbeat would be faster at the higher ground heheh

[@unck42]

Lion's Back is now closed because of how many vehicles have actually fallen off the side after people lose control. The new owner got tired of dealing with having to clean up wrecks and also deal with the legal matters that are involved. Lion's Back is very amazing, and I don't even think this video really does it justice. That last drop down to the ground, it is so incredibly steep. No one who hasn't been there would never truly know just how steep it really is. Your eyes can easily trick you.

[@jonblack6624]

65*

[@dragonblood199]

That would be a bad time to have a break failure.

[@DeKevinVD]

what's the name of the song??? btw nice ride:d

[@DeKevinVD]

m8 to go down you first got to get up lool

[@coolarrow1]

BRO .... were did you get that 20.00 camera

[@MrPilago808]

i wouldnt even want to walk down this hill

[@MRWHITEGLOVES]

Damn, I'm at full pucker just watching it.

[@scheisse55]

Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck

[@Skidal]

Nice work! Badazz hill...you da man!

[@royalford1519]

come for a ride with me. I have run cars way up in triple digits that would make many people sick, or at least frightened. scariest thing I ever did in a car was this: Lion's Back at the end of Hell's Revenge offroad trail in Moab, Utah. true track is about a car wide. besides steep pay attention to the drops left and right. and for perspective,watch for public road below. this was filmed by a guy with a pinhole camera on his helmet.

[@PhantomAngel756]

Sweet vid! So cool to see Lion's Back again, as my family used to go down to Moab all the time when I was younger and I'm proud to say I've been up and down this hill once with my dad when I was like ten or something. Scary but awesome just to know you did it :)

[@PavelJanda1]

Nice video. Very,very brave people.

[@Rock_Melodic_Radio_AOR_MELODIC]
