I Rolled A Customer's Rig
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 เม.ย. 2023
- A customer contacted us about coming out onto Hells Revenge to help him get his SXS off the trail. He said he had broke it on Hells Gate Obstacle and just couldn't make it out over the last couple steep climbs. So we ran in to help him out. I thought we would be pulling him up the hills only so I didn't take my trailer(insert ominous foreshadowing). Once there he said he only had 1 wheel drive, and the front end was broken and he wasn't sure what was broke. So he asked if I could carry it out. I agreed even though I don't like carrying the narrow Sxs's out like that. I figured it would be fine. We got to a steep fine covered in Sand. As we were descending the SXS slid to the side and panicking the customer stayed on the brakes allowing it to slid further (not his fault, this is all a different kind of thing people aren't used to, and the responsibility falls solely on me). It fell fairly softly into the sand. So we unhooked and flipped it back over as quick as we could. We continued carrying it out to the parking g lot and got them out. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Just goes to show just how important it is to have someone like Shawn in the recovered vehicle..... 🙂 It takes courage/confidence to share the bad with the good...Thanks for sharing... 🙂
Well said
Yep, it takes someone w/ experienced riding in a towed vehicle.
The words I would use...
No shit bro! That never needed to see the light of day but it's kind of how Rory is. Here I am, good and bad, take it or leave it. I'll take it. Thanks for sharing.
Rory is a man of integrity!
The fact that you shared this recovery says a lot about you and your integrity. Glad there was no injuries or damage.
Thanks Trailmater crew. Perfect timing. I was getting tired of scrolling TH-cam for anything interesting.
Anything other than Trump and 🌈.
✌🤓✌🤓
@@NeoMK😂
Sameeee between this and the hub and my hand is tired
Well in all fairness... you had help rolling a rig
Any true off roader knows there are risks while out playing. The main thing is no one was injured . Great recovery team Trailmater, even with the bruised ego, you rock ❤
If Mike or Shawn are in the Can-Am, that doesn't happen. Part way through the vid, I was saying to myself, "That dude is riding the brakes way hard" .
On a different note, Rory is like a rockstar. People yelling his name everywhere he goes.
First thought is that Trail Mater is a beast and Rory has confidently and competently trained that beast. When you're working with someone who's not part of your team, the unexpected can happen--it takes some time working together as a team to learn to think alike and apply past experience in tandem. Lessons were learned and everyone survived to enjoy another day. Honestly it kind of looked like Paul towing Ben at the Off Road Wrecker Games for a moment. It's always entertaining and educational to watch your videos. Thanks!
The Unexpected Can Happen Anytime - Shit Happens! You Make The Best Of Whatever Is And As Long As No One Gets Hurt It Is All Good!
Way to go Rory and team. I love that you and Matt and Robbie and Paul all show us the mistakes and the failures as well as the successes. Channel is getting a lot more fun to watch. Thanks.
Rory has really come along with being on camera. It’s definitely something I would struggle with too.
Things Don't always go as planned or figured. As you said it is what it is. Just keep doing what you're doing. Love watching your videos. Thanks, Rory , Mike and Shawn.
Ok so it just can't be said enough: Your honesty and ability to share things with your fans is a huge piece of the appeal (for me at least). You are more relatable, and I appreciate the transparency. Btw; I LOVED hearing "TRAIL MATER!" from the people trailside when you topped the hill early on. Don't ever stop being you, Rory.
Ooopp ! That was a ouchie that wasn't expected on the roll over.! I enjoy all the camera work that Mike does when he rides with you ! The undercarriage shots of the truck is wicked cool!
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures Sir ! Its always fun to ride along with y'all ! ✌️❤️🙏
I ran it back over and over. I think I saw skid marks, but I was convinced the driver locked it up when the wheel in the air was not turning as he went over. "Bruised ego" means improved performance for the big men that can learn. This will never happen again because Rory is a big man. Good work all, thanks for posting.
Yes he did have the wheels locked.
Out of all the things to learn from the rest of us at the Wrecker Games, you learned how to roll one on the hook?...LOL
Did you get any bad storms last night 2023 the Winter that keeps on giving?
@@mudfun3703 rain and sleet today
Rory makes it look so easy you forget how difficult the rescue can be and how on occasion something can go wrong even to the best.
Hey, Stuff Happens !
At least the fella was not hurt.
The rig survived.
The bruse to the ego will pass into history and all will be good again.
thanx for the honesty Rory.
A great recovery and I bet you definitely are going to get the headsets back in. The great thing is absolutely no one got hurt.
It shows you the character of the man to show us everything, the good and the bad. I would trust Rory with my rig and my life.
Thanks for keeping it real! Also, for leaving the muttered "shit" in the edit I'm impressed with the new guy; I'm hoping it was on purpose, he's a genius or an idiot. 999 times out of 1,000 towing like that would have been a non issue. You might be better off with rigid cross links or non-customer brakeman.
Any recovery where the vehicle and the customer makes it out in one piece is a win in my opinion! Nobody was injured so that makes for a good day
Rory that's why you should have only your guys piloting the towed vehicles , that way you don't have lack of experience working against you. Clearly that wasn't your fault what so ever and had Mike been back there he would have known what not to do in that situation. Great video as always anyway. Thanks for all the sharing you do
The customer kept blocking the back wheels again even after the roll to another downheel spot again.
That's crazy, glad he was not hurt, balancing a rig on two wheels while going down those ridges can't be easy... keep up the good work❤
I am so amazed that this doesnt happen way more often. It is just a testament to your skill and experience. Great job Rory and team. #TeamTrailMater
A good informational vid. Always tell your recovery guys or whoever is coming to help you exactly whats broke on your vehicle.
I just love watching a truck with 4 corner leaf springs killin out there on those trails, proving you don't need all those fancy 4 links, 3 links, coil overs, or ORI's to be a boss out on the highest rated trails. Keep up the great work fellas, and I'll keep on loving watching!
Hey man, when you're working with people who don't know ( half ) what you know things are bound happen. I'm just glad that you had the wherewithal to know that it "might" happen and to watch him. Good on ya Rory!!!!
Got to love the undercarriage recording. At one point the rear dualies appeared t be turning in opposite directions and the front tires appeared to be in reverse. Too fun to see. The "Roll" was nice & slow. Good to see the driver was properly harnessed in to prevent injury.
I think I know the underside of the trail mater better than I know the underside of anything I have ever owned.
I already thought: oh-oh, no Shawn controlling the pulled rig and... yep, there is the booboo, lol. Still think you are THE BEST recovery man on youtube Rory. Hugs from Belgium.
BTW, thank YOU for taking us along on your job.
I got used to seeing you and your team do the impossible, a simple flop snuck up and got you. Reaffirmed to me the skills you all have that go so unappreciated, you all are simply amazing!
Rory proven to be the best at what he does. He rules his corner of world. A number one.
Don't sweat it, no one's perfect, shit happens! Your still a pillar to your community, you guys are doing great things and helping people, don't forget that!
Thanks for showing us that not all recoveries are always going to be flawless. Things happen and that's part of it when you do this every day.
Having Shawn the trail shaman is paramount 😂 Goes to show how skilled Shawn really is and how much trust you have with each other in these recoveries. Shawn is a hero 💪
Can't blame yourself for the role over he was on the brakes really hard the back tires lock up a couple of times before it went over and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe and great job with the recovering
Stuff happens all that matter is no one was hurt and that at the end everyone had a smile on their faces! Keep doing great work Rory! At leasts it was a side by side and not an actual vehicle where real body damage would of happened!
I just love the two way traffic signs on the one lane roads. Classic!
I noticed that too, good stuff...
That first ridge is one way trail. Where the sign is, it becomes a two way trail as the exit is just to the left but on a lower shelf of that same ridge. You can see the exit towards the end of the video.
@@sun_dreaming thank you for your explanation!
It's so nice to see you keep it real. Good or bad. It happens. You offer the service and very good at it. We all know if we play things happen. Thanks for bring us along. Awesome county out there.
That is all part of what you do. The main thing is nobody got hurt. Machines can be repaired or replaced people can't. Still another great recovery.
Mike should teach classes on riding in the tow vehicle, roll overs are extra $$$ Glad everyone was safe. Rory, Shawn and Mike, you guys are the best!
Cool that you show the good along with the not so good. That's life!
This is why I like reality videos. Things don't always go according to plan, but no one got hurt, and no damage to the rig. I call that a success.
The new world of Trailmater and crew, dealing with fan boys! Hahaha 😂
Ohhhh... A rollover. Definitely a new one for Rory. That's also more like what everyone at the wrecker games wanted to see - lol.
What you're not perfect? You're not perfect. Nobody is. Part of what your viewers are drawn to is you live in the real world, do a real job, and you show reality. Another part of what attracts and keeps your audience is you also show how you deal with it. And that's more important than owning the mistake. How you deal with it.
I will never get sick of watching Trailmater putting in work on the trail
You are still the guy I would call if I was out there broken down. I do recoveries every day out here in the New Mexico desert but what you do takes a whole different kind of skills! I have mad respect for you and your team! Keep up the good work.
It’s always sketchy when the customer is behind the wheel instead of one of your crew, but you got it done.
To be able to get rigs out if where they are at when they need help is a testement to skill. Well done!
Rory, your honesty is appreciated. Many would have simply never uploaded a video like this. 👍
The guys cheering TRAILMATER put a smile on my face
Glad the customer is okay. Just goes to show you that Shawn and Mike do more than simply ride in the tow vehicle (reference the Tow Truck Games videos). Thanks for sharing.
So Wise , Thank You . Another fine example a roll cage doing it's job. Also a reminder that accidents happen even to the finest
You are a classy man! You know when to recognize mistakes (which happen to us all). More importantly, you take corrective action to prevent a future incident, such as finding a permanent home for your headsets. Good job!!
Your Human just like anyone else shit happens was heavy tow operator for years nothing worse than losing anything on the old ego but you have to brush it off keep doing what you do great vidg Rory
RORI...YES, WE KNOW, YOUR MINDSET IS STILL ON THE WRECKER GAMES...!!!!
IT'S OKAY... WE FORGIVE YOU..!!!!
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO... THINGS HAPPENS...!!!!
It takes a big man to admit his mistakes and an even bigger man to post a video of it!
Keep up the great videos!
Amazing! Some creators would hide this vid, and others would over-dramatize it, you guys are just keeping it real, that's life, I love this channel!
Awesome content. Great to see the mishaps. Between this and Jaymie at the Trail cleanup, Your on a Roll...
Sorry, couldn't resist.
All the Best

I think the piece I saw that came across the best was the character of yourself Rory. RollOver, not dragged on ground, epic spotting! Straight away, are you OK? To straight back in your rig, body language screaming I'm disgusted with myself yet straight away to there's an issue, solution required, preformed and perfected a successful recovery. The professionalism was outstanding! Good luck with what ever the outcome is!
it is what it is....I can't believe stuff like that doesn't happen all the time with those small wheelbases. Good job man.
Gotta love the undershots of all the suspension in work. Keep up the great work Rory and team 👍
Glad everyone's okay. Bruised egos are way easier to fix than broken bones. Thanks for showing us all that things don't always go right - and that you guys still keep your composure and professionalism when things go wrong. Also big shout out to the editing and not making it more dramatic than it needed to be.
Rorey we both no that they all can’t get recovered perfectly for sure!!! We try to recover every one perfectly and with out further injury but that is not always possible for sure and can definitely make one feel bad when the person getting recovered doesn’t always see things the same way!!! Hopefully he understands and isn’t to mad and like you said it was definitely a nice and slow roll and on the sand also!!! Awesome job buddy and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!!
It’s surprising that there aren’t a lot more times where a vehicle that Rory is recovering is damaged or rolls over, I’ve been watching for around 2 years now and I haven’t lost interest and I’m still amazed with Rory’s Off Road Driving and Recovery skills, Keep it up Rory, you got the other channels beat and I think your the most skilled and best Off Road Recovery Driver, I’ve seen you do some amazing recovery’s and pull off some awesome driving.
It only takes a moment for things to go sideways. Even a crew as experienced as Rory and Mike have issues at times. The part that impressed me the most was how the situation was handled afterward. Check the driver then take care of the situation, no panic, no rushing around and making the situation worse. Just cool, smooth operators.
I should have mentioned this during the wrecker games, but Rory and team put on a masters class of off-road recovery. They may not have been as entertaining (destructive), but they did an excellent job of traversing the trail with a vehicle in tow.
Everyone knows rory and the trail mater crew are the top of the line class act that everybody strives to be
I believe Eric from BSF recovery team put it the best way at the record games. If this was a real recovery we'd be looking for the 1st exit and safest way out but this is not a real recovery. This is a game and we're into the end.
It was nice and calm because there were no women there. We tend to start screaming and telling men what to do. That gets the anxiety up.
I truly appreciate your professionalism throughout the 'situation'...great job!!
Love a guy who can simply say when he screws up,,, for as many as he pulls and where ,,,rory whoops tail...and is very safe in some extreme circumstances
Thank u Rory your certainly my favorite, keep on keeping on! Good day and God bless!!
it seems hands free communication between the occupants of each vehicle is a must.
Narrow wheel base and the instability of being only the back wheels means the smallest mistakes such as a break lock up can and certainly did result in this rollover. That’s the risks of off roading. Well done team trailmater. As always truth and professional till the end.
That was like watching the Wrecker Games. Matt, Merlin and the others are never going to let you forget this one... Great recovery none the less. Keep up the great work.
Well it just goes to show that it even happens to the best of them,keep up the good work Rory and crew.
You know what gets me everytime?
Those tire shots and the foot work ( clutch-brake-gas) 😃👍
Accidents happen! Glad everyone was safe
I gotta say good mojo that nobody was hurt Rory's 1st reaction was asking customer if he's okay, thank's for sharing this recovery Rory the bruised ego means you're a good man, God bless ❤😉👍
The only thing you could have done different is had Mike in the side by side and the customer in the cab of the wrecker. But if the customer insisted on being in the side by side. I don't see why Rory would take the blame like that. It was totally the customers fault that it rolled. He was on the brakes which caused the side. Don't be so hard on yourself Rory.
Boy Sean makes that part of the job look easy. I appreciate the honesty of your content. You still got them out and no one was hurt.
Rory I really appreciate you and your team. Thank you
You're the man Rory! Hey you too Mike and Shawn!
Respect for the man who takes responsibility. Well handled sir.
I wasn’t aware of any ego that could be bruised, Rory. Its called pride, Dawg. All’s well that ended well, you’re still the King!🍻🍻👊🏼
I’m sorry it happened to you both. I’m also glad the title wasn’t click bait.
Still a classy recovery operation.
That’s why you’re the Fan Favorite!
Mike, you’re camera handling is first rate.
I appreciate the low angle forward and rear suspension views. The 360 you did at 9:50 was mind-blowing. I had to watch it 3 times because that view is superb.
Thanks for the action.
That was awesome! And as long as Rory and Mater/Crew didn't get hurt, then who cares about a SXS 😊
WHEN YOU CALL SOMEONE FOR SERVICES OBVIOUSLY ITS BECAUSE YOU CAN DO IT STAND BACK AN LET THE MAN DO HIS JOB.....RORY YOUR STILL THE ACE OF SPADES IN MY BOOK KEEP ON GETTIN IT BOYS
It is so cool how you know these roads and trails like most folks know their commute or street in front of their house. I guess with all the miles on the trails you guys have if you ain't the best you need to hang it up.
Nothing on you it's like trucking e ventualy shit happens no harm no foul you're still the best at what you do especially where you are located keep it up love you're program
you're still the best brother! glad everything worked out.
And THIS, Rory, is why we love you.
You can't win all of the time. Great job guy's. Your still one of the best recovery teams out there. You know Matt's going to have a good laugh about it. Stay safe and God be with you alway's. Thanks for the video.
You didn't even lose you cool.... on the tip over....
Nice job.... glad nobody got hurt...
I can relate to the bruised ego. Drove into the wrong side of a puddle today in my service truck, went bad instantly. Bent rim, flat tire, broken bumper parts and something definitely bent in steering as wheel is 90° out now. But what can you do? Own it, put spare tire & wheel on & make appointment @ alignment shop, finish workday and carry on. No profit today but tomorrow is another day. Thanks for keeping the videos real. Can't wait for next one.
. I enjoy the lac of music , and the editing is as good as anyone else . Some people never grow up , ThankGod !
What's life if not a learning experience. Even for the best of us, there's always that "I should have" when you least expect it. Great thing about Rory is that you get to laugh with him and you get to cringe. It's real.
Beautiful shots today, really got a good cameraman there. Love the stretch he’s giving to the wheel shots and underside. 😊
I agree with Davebenson, if someone with more experience were in the other rig it may not have tipped. Glad you didn't make a bigger deal out of it than it really was. A rig tipped, no one got hurt, you tipped it back up and kept going. Thanks for the video.
A bruised ego, is how we stay humble. No one hurt, life's to short. Next. Thanks fr sharing. Be well.
Thanks from England + I thought it was odd the way the SXS slid (I watched the clip before reading your comments), until I replayed that part of the clip and saw the rear wheels fully locked up. If a pair of rear wheels are fully locked or fully spinning that will always bring the back end around. Any doubters put a wide rubber elastic band over the rear wheels of a toy car and pull it from the front to see what happens.
That’s right Rory, you can’t win them all.
Dear Rory, as much we try to reach perfection in something usually comes the silly thing happening reverse. Somehow there should be a balance in everything; as nature all the time is showing us. It's never about how you fall is about how you get up! I think together with a lot of people watching your videos we embrace the same thoughts: you are doing a great job all the time! This is just a small example you are humans on earth and not extraterrestrials :) and on the other hand is good that the driver was fine, the rig has no damage. All the best guys!
Not your fault Rory. Good job guys. Love your channel
