[QUOTE="John M BUNMAN, post: 1682768, member: 43801"] I totally agree with you Rick on the degree of difficulty/challenge for the course. If you live West of the Mississippi and take your Raptor out often as we do you would be disappointed thinking you were going to a Bill Burke 4x4 instructor course in Moab. Was the Baja course a joke? Of course it was, when you’ve run your Raptor across Death Valley at 100mph with the governor keeping you in check you would be disappointed with an 1/8 mile Baja course. But it wasn’t a Joke to the fella that managed to roll it on that Joke. Probably 90% of the folks in my class were from back East. My co-pilot was from MA and he found the Terrain new, exciting and challenging. I drove up a hill last night to catch a sunset that was more difficult than anything at the school. But I am extremely blessed to live in 4x4/Hiking heaven. Vegas sucks but it is an Amazing Base Camp for Outdoor adventure 12months a year. I was happy and sad for my back East brothers. It reminded me to not take what I have for granted. I told them all that I have an open invitation to show them beyond the neon of Vegas. I thought of it this way. It’s like taking a friend skiing for the first time. You can’t let him run the bunny hill once then put him on the chair to run the Double Black Diamond. The Baja and Mountain course were Green Slope runs for sure, Yet…we had people rolling Raptors and Hitting Trees like they were Blasting down the Black Diamond destroying $75k Raptors. If the school let you run 100mph across Death Valley you would have dead folks law suits to the end of time and NO SCHOOL AT ALL. Was the course lame? Of course it was if you have 30yrs of Off-Roading out West. But was it fun,did I have a great time and did I learn something. A big YES to all 3. I know folks that forgot more about Off-Roading than I will learn in my lifetime and I try to grab all the knowledge I can from them. As soon as you know everything there is about your hobby, it’s time to find a new one. I’ve found that the Know Everything folks are DANGEROUS AS F<>K!
