Trailhero 2023

We went over to Sand Hollow for Trailhero 2023. We took all the rigs as usual. We help out with the event by assisting with recoveries. This year was the first year of a SxS race up a trail. The trail this year was Nasty Half. This is a video of that carnage and just us wheeling around and having some fun. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

You got an entire event named after you? Congratulations Rory, well deserved!

[@alexcontreras5967]

Iii

[@janasunnarborg8525]

Yeah, you coulda got out with a traction board! Made me laugh out loud. Great color commentary for the situation. (About 2:35 in the video)

[@g0fvt]

Would be funny to have some trolley wheels on that cage for creeping through gaps....

[@tedecker3792]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@jeffomalley6015]

Man there's a lot of Rock Peckers out there lol. They must only come out at night time ha? Lol

[@duaneayers6117]

Your viewers know that u 3 stay pretty busy in all kinds of different ways. Your viewers would like to see more of what you're doing in this video.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello Rory , Mike and Shawn! Thumbs UP!!

[@davidfreyta3857]

It's a toss up which I like watching most, recoveries or you guys just out playing in the rocks. Then you give us a bit of both. Thanks again for taking all of us along for the adventure. Best channel on KZbin.

[@andrewthomas5769]

You have suspension, ground clearance, four wheel steering, low tire pressure and now all you need is articulation.😂😂🤣😁👍👍👍

[@Keinandrew3]

Mikes buggy would be killer with rear steering. What do u think

[@dirtbillydeluxe]

Yesssssss!

[@luedog8385]

Mikes rig is so funny to me. he is just holding on to that tiny tiny piece of side panel and refuses to cut it off.

[@davestevens4263]

It's a tied together, taped dirt billy delux truck. Lol fenders all smashed in , wait ! What fenders ! Bahaha

[@BackcountrywithShaughn]

Bwahaha, "a traction board!" spit my drink out when he said it~ Thanks as always for sharing the adventures gentlemen!

[@yogibear4682]

"If Shawn says, then it is fact". What more can one say lol. Another great vid as always.

[@61rampy65]

I liked the sidewall burnout done at 16:20. When in doubt, burn it out.

[@johnnyhomegrownholmgren9999]

I’ll bet that you soon willl mount a gigant poly skidplate all over the roof on that buggy...👍 Keep having fun chasing those Diamond billed rock peckers!

[@andeekaydot]

You know it's getting serious when you mount additional trans, wheels, and steering at your roof, and actually have to use them 🤣😂🤣

[@jimmylove6153]

Some of that was SICK !!!!!!!!!!!!! People's Champ

[@DownNDirty_OffRoad]

Mikes “traction board” comment!!🤣 Rory will definitely push the buggy to the limit and it’s always fun to watch. IFS and Nasy Half don’t go together..

[@888johnmac]

Mikes ' helpful ' advice & commentary as always on-point

[@888johnmac]

& loved MC Rory with his necklace .. lol

[@appalachainrider5961]

One of the best videos yet!

[@LaDonnashielded-kc7zm]

Super trailmater and Super Rory, save the day. Thanks for sharing💥 it was beautiful.

[@aaronmorales5671]

Shawn has the best laugh 😂awesome video

[@scottgarber7363]

Zip ties, electrical tape, bailing wire, looks like you’ve got things figured out Mike. 👍

[@christopherconrad4156]

Don t forget the good lookin " seat cover".

[@mikeconner5119]

good to see shawn again he has been MIA in the last couple of vids what a good challanging trail /race and nice rockpecker condo lol

[@cweenmjory6358]

Carnage! Smoke! Welding! Pounding with a big green hammer! A good time was had by all! Thanks for all the fun.

[@K3NnY_G]

Amazing watching those sxs's, fall into holes with zero articulation (shoutout independent suspension) and decompressing to the point of rollover almost every breakover (shoutout independent suspension).

[@yknowgirl]

As a mother...you get down off of there right now!!! When Dani and Derek send me their videos I have mini heart failures !

[@thomasfletcher760]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DeeRebel44]

"A lot of destruction and chaos. It's going to be fun", You guys just have way too much fun!!! Rory's laugh and everybody's comments about predicaments, a laugh a second. Love your videos. You guys lighten our day and make the impossible possible. Thanks for what you do. Have fun!!!

[@tofadeisastart]

You know you got good friends when you can tell they’re snickering at you and they’re 50 yards away 😂

[@Keinandrew3]

Good morning trailmater thanks for the video guys

[@AlbertDBurch]

LOL don't scratch the green lizard.

[@jmjm6607]

great job again brother. watching you made me nervous lol . stay you.

[@cognitivedissonancecamp6326]

At 8:00, I'm laughing at that under-dash jerry-rig steering column setup. That expert level 'there it's fixed'.

[@andeekaydot]

Woahh! Rory getting stuck! And only because he refuses to grind them rocks for his buggy to fit! Guess it's all to save the rock peckers' environment :-)

[@javman03]

Mike's snarky commentary while Rory is wheeling is GOLD!! 😂😅😂

[@LaDonnashielded-kc7zm]

Top of the morning to you Rory , Shawn and Mike 💚❣️💥⭐🔥 Save the Diamond Billed Rock Pecker!👋🏼Hi Chris!!!

[@dougalexander7204]

Team Mater to the rescue. It’s what they do, and they do it well.

[@sumosteve665]

Damn Rory, you got SERIOUS skills!!! I mean, the rig is freakin bad ass but you in the drivers seat makes ALL the difference. Well done man.

[@secretelitemusic]

Sometimes it looks/feels like Rory, Shawn, and Mike are relaxing in their rocking chairs as they do battle with that nefarious no-good varmint, gravity. Walking the walk and torquing the torque.

[@woodyholland9865]

It takes talent and imagination to do a burn out on the side of the tire!! Here hold my beer and watch this..Great fun and great show

[@skyepilotte11]

Super tough s×s rock crawling ...Great participation...thx Rory and Mike for being there to assist.

[@jamesbigham9036]

Rory this video is proof of why you can't have nice things you in to Trail Hero with a nice buggy with very little damage with in not even an hour that changed 😂😂😂. You guys are the best and definitely know how to play hard and have fun

[@edwinprichard3082]

That was awesome to watch.

[@LaDonnashielded-kc7zm]

It looked like a Diamond Billed Rock Pecker to me 😂✌🏼

[@doskraut]

Well I can't tell, are they working or having fun. Never know with that crew.

[@stephenpoe2037]

The Carnage was Epic ! But then it's Only Money ! Better them then me ! Thanks for sharing this !

[@P52Ranch]

Great to have the whole crew back for this video. Action packed with a bit of everything. Every day with a Trail Mater video is a good day.

[@Keinandrew3]

Rory your definitely finding the limitations of the buggy

[@Greg-bu7mi]

Rory, you and your team are such a valuable part of the SXS community! I will have a drink for you LOL!

[@thedave513]

Crunch, snap, bang, ouch! Thanks for the excellent distraction from my mundane existence. Rock on!

[@jerryjohnson7008]

Them buggy's are gravity defying and with alien controls. I watch you do it and i still don"t believe it. Well done!!!

[@jameslovitt994]

Mike and his infatuations with "rockpeckers" LoL!

[@davebenson1504]

Always great to see The Whole Team together and having fun.. and Yup Mike... a traction board might have saved the day 😂🤣😂 Mike you make a great Cheerleader in addition to awesome videographer and excellent rock crawler too... 🙂 great engineering on your rig Mike... you just need a stronger marketing plan for your fabrication 😂🤣😂 they call them side by side because they spend soooo much time on their side???? 😂🤣😂

[@nikonikorian6124]

I think Jeff went there to polish the rock...lol Nicely done all.

[@shirleyallen6072]

[@AFloridaSon]

@18:56 that was a cool video of Trailmater pulling that SxS in the sunset.

[@susansmith-franks684]

“You coulda got out with a traction board.” 😂❤😂

[@maryhines7265]

[@carlcarter5456]

It's good to see the 3 Amigos working together. 😊

[@grannyt6819]

Mad Max vehicles aint got nothin on you guys. Your rigs with you driving can do things I would not think possible. James Bond couldnt come close to your driving skills. My brain is stuck on "Wow." Nice job!

[@wesgraham9588]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Rory Irish !!!!!!!

[@tonydowd8566]

LMAO!!! ROCKPECKERS 😮 I need a rockpecker shirt. 😅

[@BobbieJeanM]

At 3:50 I gasped so loud I scared my dog thinking you were for sure going over backwards! I kept telling myself you all 3 made it out alive or there wouldn’t be a video. But at 6:00 I had to stop watching, I’m too old to be taking any years off my life watching this shenanigans. 🤦🏼‍♀️😵‍💫 I gave you a thumbs up anyway. 💕😄

[@reddog543211]

Great video guys fun was had by all !!

[@TheOldaz1]

A fun day out with like minded folks, lol. Thanks guys.

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

I am mind blown where you have managed to take these rock crawlers.... I am stunned at your ability to take equipment where conditions are what would be considered well beyond black diamond routes....and do it with "ease"

[@Wesley-uo3rn]

The apartment complex.. the first few minutes I couldn't stop laughing.. traction board ftw LoL

[@Angel-hd2rs]

Wow! What a trail! My first time! Thank you for giving me a case of the "gasps"!

[@sickjohnson]

[@Dealsmaker7612]

This channel keeps getting better and better... The camera work is better and the crew personalities are of course awesome

[@ggalland1]

[@chiefvilla3167]

Right on Rory and team Sean and Mike show. Hey I didn't put the white man first😊🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏽😊😎🙋🏽‍♂️.

[@ericlapointe838]

You boys got the sweetest rigs Mike's rig gets it done

[@gabrielmoya754]

I like that rear dig a lot

[@percyfaith11]

Those rigs have too much traction for their own good.😎 When you get to 89.9 degrees vertically it doesn't matter how much weight you have up front.

[@hondolane3125]

The whole crew are amazing drivers, but I just have to give a shout out to Shawn. The more chances I get to see him handle a tough section, the more I respect his driving skills.

[@jameslovitt994]

Mike & Shawn are top shelf, Rory is blessed to have them as part of the recovery group, and friends in general.

[@Angel-hd2rs]

I mean, look at that place! So exciting! Rory, you're amazing.

[@arm_luvr1002]

Some banged up rigs

[@timvanasen9822]
