WTF, brainless idiots all around these days without a clue how to or where to drive their "off-road" vehicles. I blame vehicle marketing departments.

Hi Lift jack that thing right off that saddle down into the ravine and make the owners pay for cleanup and disposal.

Just had some jackwagons attempt to drive their Honda Ridgeline down a recently built downhill trail at Bogus Basin, looks like they got high centered and abandoned the vehicle. Don't know the outcome but hope their lost their pass privileges.

I guarantee that'll be rolled over the edge within a week.

There's a spot in Orange County off Trabuco Creek Rd where jeeps often get stuck. They like to go up a steep old 4x4 road off Trabuco called Cadillac. There's a burly gate at the bottom but it routinely gets ripped out or cut with a torch so the jeepers can climb the road. At the top is another old road called Santiago Truck Trail that narrows down to singletrack at one point. Plenty of jeeps have gotten stuck or rolled trying to get past or back up. The ones that are just stuck usually get rolled over the side within days. And then heavily vandalized. It doesn't reflect well on MTBers but these offroad idiots should take a lesson from it and stop going up there.

This trail probably doesn't see as much bike traffic as STT but it only takes a couple riders to give it a push.

Can’t wait for the updated pics of it a few hundred feet closer to sea level.

Good chance it's stolen.

When I was on fire and rescue (nor cal), literally every call we got for a vehicle in a really dumb spot (crashed, rolled, stuck, or just burning) ended up being ripped off.

If you read the comments it says it was recovered by one rig with a winch and 20 guys keeping it from going off the side. Shame.

**PlayItLeo** · 09-25-2020, 11:22 PM

Like anything worth noting in the modern world, the recovery is on the youtubes https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_WuvMzoeRYQ

That Jeep club has an obesity problem. Maybe they should bike more.

all the mexicans I know have dirt bikes, four wheelers, side by sides, and/or fifth wheels they have all subscribed to the american dream
the unfortunate problem is most of them love to ride wearing wranglers with big belt buckles
