Struggling On An Easy Recovery

We had to run back into Pritchett after the flood for a motorcycle. The rider had been hurt and wore out so he got a ride out from search and rescue. We decided to take the trailer in so we welded a hitch onto the buggy. That saves wear and tear on Trailmater. Then right away we had a spindle snap off on the trailer. So we left it and continued on. We got to the bike and the rider felt well enough to ride it down with us helping on the big obstacles. We got it down and out of there with no issues. Now we have to repair and upgrade the recovery trailer. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Everyone speaks about Rory’s amazing skills,but let’s also give Shawn a huge amount of respect. I have no idea what his heart rate, or pucker power is on some of the tougher obstacles but he looks cool as a cucumber and just walks on up.

[@Redhowieoliver]

His heart rate is measured by mutton sandwich and sits around 55-60

[@charleswelch249]

The whole point was to rescue the customer. You accomplished your mission as usual. But like everyone, things will break, and Rory will find a way to patch it up. Or rebuild it when he's back in the shop. Great recovery video with a few little hiccups along the way 👍.

Rory, Mike, and Shawn bringing the best content to this recovery in Pritchett Canyon and they guided this Bike rider out and onto safety. Breaking this spindle on the off road trailer as old as it was was an accident looking to happen. Like Rory said they beat the heck out of this trailer and its one tough hoss!

[@kevbev1524]

Ya..... That thing should probably go on the lift every other month just for inspection and greasing, He probably does and we don't see it. Rory's equipment maintenance should be like airplane inspections, Every so many hours of use, Like an airplane, there's no where to turn around, and who's going to come save the Savior?

[@Toms_Steam_Channel]

Rory has proven time and time again his absolute skill on four wheels, we have seen him handle broken vehicles on three wheels, and now in the last few videos, we see he owns the rocks on two wheels as well. I would not bet againsts him if he was attempting to ride a unicycle down the trail!! Great video as usual and THANKS for all you do for your customers and your viewers!!

[@Psyco913]

You figure out how to balance a 4.0l on one wheel and Rory will find a way to wheel it through Pritchett. 😂

[@shroom9033]

Rory say's he needs to pull the trailer with the buggie so he can go faster. Instantly slams into a wash and then soon after breaks his trailer axle😂😂

[@bronsonwhite611]

If only he could design, fabricate and install some sort of innovative system that would allow those trailer wheels to articulate from their fixed position s 😅

[@robertheinkel6225]

Mike and Shawn's interactions are superb. Rory is the king of red rock.

[@Sensual-Model-CherieSanchez]

So if you want to avoid llama drama, pay homage to the elusive ( but totally real) DBRP and you will have safe passage. Maybe someone should have told that to the poor fella on the Kawasaki before he ventured off that day. Great video as always you guys! Thank you!

It was right about that time the customer was seriously wondering if he'd found the right recovery guys, lol.

[@Shagnasty-bo5bj]

Aint nobody can say Rory can't ride a bike!! Rory is a biker. I know after watching this cause I am a biker and I know just by watching a person ride whether they are a true biker or not. I spent many a year riding trail bike here in Illinois in the rock quaries and have had to ride other guys bikes out of the quary because they got in over their head and didn't have enough talent or they got injured and had to go to the hospital. Great video!!😁

[@doggonedk]

Definitely don't want no drama from the llama. You guys are hysterical I can watch videos of y'all all day long. You knew it was going to be a good one when Rory fell in that washout right at the beginning. Great video guys as usual!

I’ve been aware of this channel for a few years, but kinda felt like my “off-road recovery content” was covered, so I never really paid much attention. I’m an idiot, this shit is pure gold and I wish I’d come around sooner. At least I have a couple years of videos to watch, but I still feel like I’ve been missing out.

Man when the buggy slammed into that hole.... I bet that passenger was hurting. My wife and I were wheeling one time and slammed into a washout. I didn't really feel it but my wife sure did. Seatbelt across her chest hurt her bad enough that she didn't want to go out the rest of the day.

[@papatomsthoughts]

Maybe a double pocket attachment for front or back of the buggy/jeep to bring these bikes out? 😮😮😮
