Spring Tougefest 2022

Just a merge of all the footage taken from my phone at the Spring Tougefest event in April 2022 at the Tail of the Dragon, Eastern Tennessee.
This footage was taken from the pulloff at Mile Marker 6, the video was edited together from the phone app called "YouCut - Video Editor".
Important notice: There will be two clips showing what NOT to do on the TOTD, never cross over the yellow lines on the road unless absolutely necessary (fallen tree/crash while being directed are the only exceptions). If you are in this video, thank you for the entertainment, and if you are one of the two that crossed the mustard in this video... You simply deserve all the hate that is given to you, and no, I will not take down the video as is a learning point for others to never cross the center line.

Are you getting mad over people crossing the line for 2 seconds with plenty of visibility? Wtf lol

This is the Tail of the Dragon, 318 curves (mostly blind) in 11 miles of back country "highway". This road is extremely popular for this reason, crossing the double yellow I strictly shamed upon regardless if you can "see through the curve" or whatever other asinine excuses people make. There is a very, very real chance of someone hauling ass in the opposite direction and with said vehicles occupying the other lane, even slightly over, there's a 99% probability that the opposite traffic will collide into the offender or end up in the ditch/off the side of the mountain. There are zero excuses for crossing the double yellow, people have died because of others doing so, especially those on crotch rockets. There's literally a tree at Dale's Gap that has car and motorcycle parts hanging off of it like a Christmas tree as an example.

@@demize7498 Understandable but it’s literally impossible to collide with someone at that corner. There was no one around anyways and you CAN see in front of you there. Crossing double yellows is dangerous of course but nothing bad will happen at that corner unless it’s night or there’s a lot of traffic.

@@cyka9448 Doesn't matter one bit if you can see through the corner or not. It's simply about the principle of proper driving technique. The double yellow, especially on this road, should be considered as an impervious wall that you can not cross over. Doesn't matter if you can see a mile through the corner or three inches, the very fact that these two, along with countless others, who do cross the double yellow on this road simply show that they not only can not properly drive and shows lack of experiencebehind the wheel, but they obviously do not care about others on the roadway either as this does in fact put others in the line of danger. There's absolutely zero excuse to cross that line, unless properly directed by those ground guiding due to a wreck.

@@demize7498 put him in his place lmao. it’s just like using your blinker EVERYWHERE even when no body is around. it’s just good practice for when somebody is around, i’m sure you read that in your dmvs driving handbook right?
