Metal Masher Level 6 Trail in Rubicon XR (movie video)

[ColoradoMike]

It was a long winter, but I finally made it back to Moab. Metal Masher is rated as the hardest of the Level 6 trails in Moab according to cruisemoab's ratings, so I kind of imagined this might be the hardest trail I would ever do in Moab. It was amazing, but for me, not as hard as I imagined (though I skipped Rock Chucker and Widow Maker).

Nice video. Metal Masher is one of my favorites in Moab.

Looks like a tight squeeze to get into mirror gulch. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. Yeah, I really liked it. Although, I think Poison Spider is more fun. The challenges on MM were pretty much all the same: ledges. You don't have a V-notch and you don't have a sand hill. But the ledges are fun and the views are great.

Right on. Yes, I wouldn't want to try to get anything wider than my XR through there!

Yeah, the views on that cliff are what puts me over the edge

Vews on the cliff put you "over the edge"?! Buh-dum-bump!

Lol, completely unintentional.

Decent video, but WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!!! Easy trails have a way of becoming a horrible day when you roll and never thought it would happen. You shouldn't be hanging out the window like you do to look forward. Get out and walk an obstacle before you drive it if you are that uncertain.

Thanks. I think it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Hahahaha! You do it your way, and I'll do it mine, friend. I walk most obstacles before I drive them. I'm leaning out the side to verify that my tire is going to hit exactly where I decided it should WHILE I was pre-walking it. Hell, sometimes I stand up in the saddle when I have the roof off, driving with my head and shoulders up through the roof so I can look down over the hood better. Too bad I don't have any video of that; probably give you a heart attack! :D

I do the same thing, hanging out the window sometimes! Another great video! Good work!

Thanks, Matt. Steel Bender video coming soon! And... Holy Cross in a few months!

Great video. Good editing as well- really documents the trip without it being overly long. I struggle with that sometimes.

What rack is that? I've been back and forth on whether or not I'll need one for family road trips. That design looks idea as it attaches to the body and not the hard top.
