    Less nervous for sure. Everyone was very helpful along the way. Brad told me to follow his tracks and he would keep me out of trouble, which he did. Can't wait to go again.

    TrailDamage.com lists it as a 3/4 difficulty scale.

    http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=291

    You can use that as a baseline...

    For trails with a higher difficulty rating, read to see if the difficult obstacle(s), that push a higher rating, have bypasses.

    Welcome. Here - I'll post a couple pics to help quell your fears. There's really nothing to be nervous about.
    It' all in a days work so to speak.

    Official Welcome Pat! Was great to run the clean up with you! Those pics show the benefit of a group run for sure. The nice thing about wheelin is you can do it or not, walk a section before you run it, never get into trouble that way. Nice runner too!

    Pat, you and I both being new to the group for the clean up run, just wanted to say we enjoyed the run with you guys. Your rig did really well i thought, no problems at all. It was a good debut run!

    Yeah no need to be nervous there is plenty of support in this group. You can always ask for a spot if you feel hesitant about an obstacle. There is always options, don't be afraid to speak up. When driving down a trail the person in front of you is to keep you in sight. If you stop they stop and the person in front of them stops and so on.

    Welcome to the group! Never be nervous with this bunch. If you decide to run a trail that a more experienced member thinks might be a mistake for you and your rig, they will tell you that straight-up. If you need help figuring out an obstacle, ask for a spotter. Try to follow behind a "like-vehicle" and stay in their tracks if you like what they did. If you even have to hesitate or are afraid of a tip-over or something - Stop! (That has happened to me so many times when I felt like I had wheels in the air and was going to lose it and my spotter would tell me I had 4 boots firmly on the ground)! It's all part of the learning curve. Eventually you get to know your rig better and know what you are comfortable with trying. (Or not)!
