  • last year
We took advantage of a gorgeous December afternoon to take two new drivers and our three favorite rigs to Windrock Park in Oliver Springs, Tennessee. The goal was to get new people involved in our sport. Spoiler alert: It worked.

00:16 So, uh, that's one trail I think we're gonna hit this morning.
00:20 I think we'll do, uh, maybe 16 up to Devil's Elbow and then run, have Richardson run up it.
00:35 Let's see, what's the least capable rig we've got?
00:39 Probably the Taming Up.
00:43 Titan.
00:44 Titan?
00:45 Just throw him, throw him right in the Titan.
00:48 Can we talk about how sweet these little Ratchety strap guys are?
00:51 So good.
00:53 Love 'em.
00:54 Watch this, watch this.
00:56 Ooh.
00:57 Ooh.
00:59 Your seatbelt material, so they'll last forever.
01:03 Alright, we're outta here.
01:05 We're gonna follow you guys.
01:06 [Music]
01:08 I do that 'cause I know I do what I'm doing.

02:25 Yeah, that's what we're talking about.
02:27 [Music]
02:29 [Laughter]
02:36 Oh, my God.
02:38 [Music]
02:55 This is so amazing.
02:57 It doesn't care.
02:58 It does not care.
02:59 Yeah.
03:00 You sit your--
03:01 [Laughter]
03:02 Wait, turn back around.
03:04 Yeah, a DPG-13 shot right there, buddy.
03:07 [Laughter]
03:08 Look at the joy on your face.
03:10 Look at the joy on your face.
03:12 Are you sorry, though?
03:14 Are you sorry, though?
03:15 [Laughter]
03:16 Never.
03:17 Bye!
03:19 Bye!
03:20 [Motor]
03:23 On to Trail 16.
03:24 One of my favorite trails out here.
03:26 We've been throwing this into the parking lot.
03:31 [Motor]
03:47 [Motor]
04:04 Blue junkie.
04:07 Yeah, you're right.
04:12 The great part about this rig is you pretty much just get to pick whatever line you want.
04:16 Like, it just doesn't--
04:18 Look at these poor bastards messing with clickers.
04:21 Here, let me take care of that real quick.
04:24 Oh, we did it.
04:26 [Laughter]
04:55 [Motor]
05:13 Yeah!
05:16 [Motor]
05:22 [Laughter]
05:25 [Motor]
05:53 Lost a Kevin.
05:55 He's getting B-roll.
05:56 He's getting B-roll. That's what's happening.
05:58 Yeah.
05:59 That's what I like about this part.
06:02 Where is Kevin?
06:03 All the B-roll.
06:04 All the B-roll.
06:06 [Motor]
06:13 Yeah!
06:15 [Motor]
06:35 Oh!
06:36 [Laughter]
06:39 I'm gonna break this thing.
06:42 If you break it, I will buy you champagne.
06:53 Oh, good trail.
06:55 All right, give us low range.
06:59 And go ahead and go for your diff lock over there.
07:03 Like this?
07:04 Yeah.
07:06 There you go.
07:09 Just give me a minute.
07:13 [Motor]
07:27 [Motor]
07:37 [Motor]
07:47 Professional.
07:49 [Motor]
08:06 [Groaning]
08:09 Gauge is so tight.
08:12 The hill is tall.
08:15 So how was that?
08:17 I feel invincible.
08:19 [Laughter]
08:21 Yeah, pretty gnarly.
08:22 And the thing just doesn't care.
08:23 That's the best part.
08:24 No, it doesn't.
08:26 Like, is it? Is it? Is it?
08:28 Oh, god, it is.
08:29 I gotta lay off the corn dogs, boys.
08:32 [Laughter]
08:34 [Motor]
08:40 [Motor]

09:30 Currently, we're right off of Trail 16 in Woonrock OHV.
09:34 It's one of our favorite trails that's super close to the trailhead and the general store.
09:39 It's fun for all the reasons that you just saw, right?
09:42 You got a good mix of mud and deep ruts and fun rocky climbs.
09:47 And for people like Gage and Anna, who are kind of new to UTVs,
09:53 it's a great demonstration of what these machines can do.
09:56 And you get a pretty great little stop off here at this waterfall we're about to check out.

15:04 Darren? Darren, what's happening?
15:07 Well, Anna has reached a point that every novice four-wheel drive driver reaches where she needs to commit.
15:21 She's got 90% of the right angle.
15:25 She can't quite get there.
15:26 Spectacular.
15:27 Also, she's high-centered.
15:28 Spectacular.
15:30 [Music]
15:38 Nice and fast.

16:27 [Music]
16:34 Better to be a hero than a zero!
16:37 I think I may have snoped a little.
16:39 That's fine.
16:40 [Music]
16:44 I like her. She's got no fear.
16:46 [Music]
16:56 Yes!
16:57 [Music]
17:05 Yeah!
17:06 Woo-hoo!
17:08 [Music]
17:24 So we just spent about three hours riding some of our favorite trails at Windrock OHV Park.
17:28 On a short day like this with the sun going down, we like to end at one of our favorite secret overlooks.
17:34 We're not going to tell you where it is.
17:35 Those who know, know.
17:37 Tell you what, we had a great time.
17:39 Thanks for riding along with us.
17:40 Catch us out at UTVDriver.com, any of our social media.
17:43 We'll catch you next time.
17:44 [Music]
18:13 By far my favorite part of Aaron coming to visit.
18:16 What you doing there, bud?
18:23 Trying to...
18:24 What, uh...
18:25 Just got all crossed out.
18:27 All crossed out.
18:29 No contact, huh?
18:30 At three feet? No.
18:31 Oh, no.
18:32 You can come back.
18:33 There, and then there, and then there.
18:35 It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
18:37 [Laughter]
18:38 What did I do to you?
18:39 I'm in the hall.
18:40 Oh.
18:41 So, check it out.
18:42 And next time, we'll see you later.
