    Lizzy demonstrates that your way of doing a task depends on how you are taught. There are always several ways to accomplish any job. Lizzy was trained to drive off-road on stuck vehicles of all types. This is clear if you watch every video with her in it. From the one where Matt introduces her to this one. That is why she approached Horseshoe Falls the way she did; super slow and utterly steady. Her way turned out to be the best. Lizzy did not realize that the driver's front wheel was off the ground because that was the case in a lot of the stuck vehicles she has driven. In the past videos. Lizzy is shown climbing into multiple types of vehicles that are at a frightening angle, and near their tipping point. So she has learned how to drive out of that position. Those "training" videos had a rope attached to provide the needed "traction". In this video the needed traction came from the vehicle itself.

    Absolute joy to see Ed talk about days past and adventures had. You know . . . the digital age is letting so many of us see and share these kinds of recollections, and preserve them. Fifty years ago there was undoubtedly some guy with similar memories and they were just lost and forgotten. Now, not only can a million subscribers listen to this . . . but so can future generations. And as long as I'm here -- watching Lizzy (apparently) calmly steer Mischief Maker up the Falls was amazing. What a trouper!

    Once the golden nugget is done and Ed gets his Rokon restored they should make him a small trailer to tow behind the nugget with the Rokon on it . A trailer that drops to the ground and drive on the Rokon then raise the trailer so he doesn’t have to mess with ramps

Rokon were invented by a guy that lived in Fair Oaks California. Oh, nice driving Lizzy!

It took two guys on each end to carry them. So they would double up on one. Except one guy that they called “ Tiny” he would pick up one by himself and put it up over his shoulder.. The foreman saw him and said; hey Tiny double up on that, so Tiny picked up two, one on each shoulder, he doubled up on them. So hey, “Double up on that Iron😳😳😳. This was another great video.

    Lizzy seems to realize that maximum traction occurs just before a tire breaks lose and starts spinning. Works the same way for braking also. Locking up brakes by sitting on the brake pedal actually makes the locked up wheel go faster rather than actually stopping a vehicle. That's how a bicycle or motorcycle back end swings around in an effort to try to catch the front wheel. Smart young lady.

      Can you explain what you mean by " Locking up brakes by sitting on the brake pedal actually makes the locked up wheel go faster"
      If the wheel is locked up how is it spinning at all? Obviously I understand that you will stop faster with strong braking that is slowing the wheels but not locking them up but I don't understand how a locked wheel would "go faster"
