It brought tears to my eyes to hear that a large group of people could come together and have 3 days of fun and not leave a heap of garbage! I also would like to acknowledge the lack of alcoholic beverages and containers shown in this video. I also loved where Matt was fist bumping all the kids and the one kid had the foam hand!

Thanks to you we have been watching all the KZbin videos of their prep for this event and all the fun you fellows have when you get together. The compassion that shows through all these events, with everyone helping each other and the love of this difficult sport. We are going to watch every minute of all of them as I'm sure you intended us all to do. We send our sympathy to Robert's Family and were not surprised by the gofundme accounts or the donation of the "bribe" money from all the judges. Good clean, and a little sandy, fun and good family entertainment for all of us who hold our breath as you climb those rocks with big grins on your faces.

This a monumental editing job... and very creative as well. We all get to meet and get to know the awesome people who build these magnificent beasts... but it's a shame we rarely see (and never get to know) the wonderful people behind the scenes... Like the editors, for starters. For example, last year's Christmas Party would have been an ideal time to have gone round the tables and introduced us, instead of the endless (and deserved) giveaways... You even sometimes have people in the back seats who don't even get a mention. We love this extended 'family' a lot - no need to hide them.

Excellent video. On a side note, I wanted to comment on your old videos about Monster Transmission. When I saw you went with them for your transmission, I was a little worried. They don't do the best work, they have a lot of issues. The transmissions aren't much stronger over stock, either. I really wanted to recommend a builder for you then, but I didn't want to be a downer. I've done some transmission building for a couple of my customers and my own stuff. I highly recommend Ultimate Transmission out of Boise, Idaho. They've done good work for me and my customers when I have someone that needs something much stronger than I can do. One transmission they did for one of my old customers was for a ~1300hp Cummins. Dude daily drove it, tracked it on the weekends, and it held up great. Compound 5.9 with nitrous, and the trans was a 48re

Do have to say it was a blast watching this from home , I linked my phone to the big screen and man I didn't even see one piece of napkin or a crushed soda can on the ground anywhere and would love to also thank those who showed up for the games and for their support as well as the other spectators who left the park in "pristine shape" and also loved how some also helped flip over some of the recovery rides to help keep the games going so smoothly and kept it fun without a ton of boring waiting time. I had to pause this a few times just because I didn't want to miss one second of this one..glad a few other channels also recorded it so will be glad to watch it again from another added perspective per each channel if i have the time to knock them out one after the other lol. Sadden I couldn't even attend it because I would have taken my family out there but the transmission and or the transfer case in my jeep is done for so it's not going anywhere anytime soon which sucks bc i love that jeep and even had gotten depressed a bit after breaking my leg and not being able to work or do anything really to get it fixed since the wife is the only one working at the moment to keep up ok the bills.. have thought about some schooling but haven't quite found anything local that is dedicated to that one thing instead of a bunch of other stuff just for some credits. But now it's gotten to point of needing to work more than I need to learn something new. This channels specifically and fab rats have helped me a great bit to wanna keep pushing forward but the broken leg hasn't quite healed up yet so gonna take some bit of rehabbing it to get anywhere near back to normal since the knee buckles a ton now and hurts a ton for 2 more days so can't trust it to walk around on for work yet. So love watching these videos in the mean time..n

Ah, yes, Rory from Trail Mader, the man who invented sand, the miraculous substance that revolutionized the world of off-road recovery in Utah. With sand, you can get unstuck from even the stickiest of mud pits and treacherous terrain. It’s no wonder that Rory is considered the gold standard of off-road recovery. If you ever find yourself stranded in the Utah wilderness, just remember the name Rory and his magical invention of sand. It’s like having a genie in a bottle, but instead of wishes, you get traction.

That track was way tougher than I expected! I would want Rory to recover my vehicle, Paul to recover my enemy’s vehicle, Merlin to put on a show, and Matt to take me for a ride

[@stevebaker1260]

Thank you to all involved in making this event, laugh out loud, happy ,sad, terrifying, it was great!

[@patzwahl8341]

I remember Matt saying he wouldn't pick Pau as a spotter because "he doesn't care about scratched paint or roll overs" every time Paul tears something up. Started with Blue Steel's Headlight and hood. LOL

[@LeonAuburt]

So funny. 😂😂😂

[@UberLummox]

And when Matt was spotting for that Yankum guy, it looked like he was trying to run Matt over. (when he rolled)

[@garydube7476]

I have been watching matts off road recovery channel for about a year now.. ive been a member of the site for the better part of a year. I have not missed an episode i think. Every episode is packed with fun and games. no matter if they are working or not and yes they get the job done. I have observed matt and have come to the conclusion that he is the most selfless man ive ever seen on youtube. kudos to you matt and all the others you are all a fine bunch of people. extended family even, to each other.. This event was nothing more than a bunch of guys getting out there and having fun and putting on a great show, I have watched just about every video on the wrecker games they were all great and thank you to all you uploaders. you may not know this but people look up to you guys and to most of us you are all role models to us. thank you all for your entertaining videos. Keep it up. im also sorry about the passing of your friend my deepest sympathies to you all and especially to the family.

[@superfred6063]

Looks like it was a great event! Amazing to watch what you were able to create here. The only thing missing was an appearance by Ed - hope he's ok.

[@jackturner3005]

Matt, you commented on how clean the fans left the park, that is fabulous. We did cross country motorcycle races years ago. One of the nicest venues we camped and road at was basically a horse establishment. The owner commented as we were finishing a weekend that we left the place cleaner that the folks that it was built for. It’s not the majority that trash the places, it’s the individuals that think they don’t have to behave that hurt our community. Fun event to watch on KZbin!!!

[@jimwest3891]

What a great event!! Great choice of participants and judges and exceptional fan support. Thanks too to the volunteers who tried to keep everyone safe. I loved the judges and the score system with the bribes...so freekin' funny!!! So much fun, but really saddened by Robert Blake's passing. Rest in peace, Sir. Prayers for the Blake family.

[@californiagold7764]

As always just a bunch of good ol’ boys having a blast!! Cheers to all those who participated and to the MORR community and crew for making this happen. Also got to say from a California boy Matt is the reason i even know of sand hollow and why I’ve made the trip!

[@mmdesmond1]

Congrats to Matt and his team for putting this event together. You brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people.

[@DarkHorse902]

This was a great video, lots of fun to watch all of the channels getting together like this. I can't help but be a little sad to not see Trevor at an event like this after having had such an impact on Matt's channel and the beginning of the wrecker build.

[@brockroe5084]

Matt wearing a jacket is crazy to see. It must have been a little cold considering he goes out in the middle of a snow storm without one.

[@aricwantoch6660]

It was chilly with the rain and a slight breeze (I was cold). Then when I got back in the car I looked at the temperature outside and it was 52 degrees which shocked me. The weather down there in Southern Utah is way different then where I am from in eastern Wyoming.

[@philb5593]

Being out in the cold for 10 or 15 minutes is different than being in the cold for hours

[@PNWwonder]

What a great event, I really enjoy that Matt teamed up with the girls! Looks like everyone had a blast and no drama. Weather was nice too! I hope to make it next year from southern Oregon. Lizzy has been a wonderful role model and ambassador for young girls growing up who may want to go into the automotive industry. Your an awesome young lady. Matt your awesome for giving her that opportunity. Thank you for all the extra work bring this to KZbin for those of us that enjoy these things.

[@alexfred8789]

Thank you to all the competitors, and event staff it was fun to watch! Thank you to the people for not littering so everyone can enjoy future events

[@captainsteve19]

First off Rest in Piece Robert :( I Love how the editors pointed out to go check out the rest of the competitor's video's to know where they placed. Matt and to the whole crew for putting this on you guys rule! look forward to seeing it in person someday. hopefully we can make it an annual event for sure!

[@davidwoermansr]

Definitely a vacation destination if you have a rig or side by side it's worth bringing to get around you'll be able to see more by getting back and forth at will and can have some fun in a beautiful park knowing there are very capable rigs to get you out if you get stuck or break

[@kevinbogart9737]

@@davidwoermansrYes but expect attendance to DOUBLE next year.

[@davidwoermansr]

@@kevinbogart9737 I don't like big crowds but derbys and offroading events I make exceptions I'm taking my rig instead of just my sidexside next year maybe both

[@tfurgztypa4645]

i love you all and your such an inspiration. ive been watching from the begining. thank you! the credit and love matt shares with his long time freind paul is everything. thank you matt and everyone for inspiring me to be a better person.

[@jamesgregorybearden6053]

❤ the planning and execution of a first-time, extra large event is daunting. Well-done on making this a success.

[@markreed2576]

What an awesome event, planning, participation and community support. Congratulations to all who worked hard and made this amazing event possible.

[@maryvalent961]

Through it all Lizzy kept a runway model’s smile on her face. This was a blast!

[@1ace1966]

First off, so sorry for the loss of Robert, my sincerest condolences. What an awesome video, very well done and worth the wait. It was incredibly hard not watching other posts on it yet.

[@marilyntidwell4078]

This is such good entertainment. No cable for us. Love this group of people

[@jeffmcrae5336]

WOW!!! That turned out even better than I was hoping for. Looks like everyone had a great time and I was glad to see that everybody got into the spirit of off roading when it was time to clean up. It makes you want to have faith in humanity again. Hope you share more video of the event in the future.

[@rickbown6871]

And I thought the gold nugget episodes couldn't be topped! This has been incredible! I can't stop watching all these videos from all you great KZbinrs! Matt and team thanks for bringing together this event and really good people

[@camsoasis2316]

this was absolutely HUGE!!! Awesome Show awesome Crews. Great production. Thanks for keeping our earth clean! Rip to our brother Robert Prayers and love for his family. Huge props to ALL the teams!! and everyone there!

[@dicbut1346]

They wanted to thank the fans for them existing but I want to thank them for being there for whenever anyone needs help. We can enjoy the offroad parks and always know help is near if we need it. THANK YOU

[@tankkilburn3907]

So happy to see Eric make it to the games. It was great to see the original off road wrecker at the games. And much love and prayers to Paige and her family. Great video can't wait for next year's games.

[@tankkilburn3907]

Sorry I can't afford the shipping on your gift hopefully the next guy in line can and enjoys it 👍👍👍

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Well that was awesome job everyone, congratulations Matt. My thoughts and prayers go out too Robert and his family. Rest in peace and God bless amen.

[@ryanboutr7756]

Congratulations on all the success. Here's to the first ANNUAL wrecker games!

[@susiebafford7921]

Matt n team, it’s so encouraging to show how in America there are a lot of good clean people having good clean fun. Thank you for your example. ❤

[@seanhine6929]

Amazing to see how this channel has grown over the years to where it is now. Congrats on your achievements and keeping us all entertained.

[@tyrelbaker7265]

Omg you guys are just great people. Matt I can't get over how generally good nature and team player you are. Also I really seen just how stupidly powerful the nugget or wrecker is... Everyone a the event is awsome. If there's a next year I want to fly in and see it

[@None-xk7by]

First I'm soo sorry to hear about your teammate Robert, condolences. On another note, I absolutely can't wait until you guys do this again. I'm in NC and will definitely fly out there for the next one. It looked like an amazing time with the kind of people that I want to hang out with. The fact that there was no trash to pick up afterwards, that's my type of people

[@clintpetty4211]

Thanks Matt and the team. I also waited until your video was released to see how things went. Great job everyone, glad I waited. Thanks to the editing team, this video was awesome, well done. Keep up the great work everyone.

[@gamerscomplete]

Matt and crew did such an amazing job setting this whole event up. I've watched many hours of video from contestants, judges, spectators and it seems like everyone just had the time of their life, endless smiles on everyones faces. All new the subscribers to all the people involved and people finding content they didn't know about and can now enjoy, this was a win for everyone involved.

[@61rampy65]

I'm back again after watching all 5 competitor's videos, plus Robby's. All were *totally awesome* ! The event Matt created was far bigger than I thought, from what I saw the execution went well, and I was amazed by how many sponsors helped you out. Many thanks to everyone involved! I am also very impressed with the way the crowds picked up their trash. I plan to be there next year!

[@npsambi]

I’m two minutes in and know that this was pure genius of an event. What a turn out. Creativity on painting rigs with the audience also!

[@joekanicki5306]

Now that was a true VICTORY 🎉! Well done to everyone who contributed to this incredible event. Be well and keep on wheeling.

[@PrettyKenziePrincess]

Let's be honest.... Matt obviously won the games lol. He was being VERY diplomatic when he told the judges to make sure he gets last place 🤣 it just shows what kind of people they are. They for sure the nicest and most down to earth people out there. So selfless and kind. To the entire crew I thank you for all that you do. 👌

[@stout_tossme7541]

Having the viewers clean up after themselves is awesome!!!!
