**The Thrill of Off-Roading: A Journey with Matt's Offroad Games**

As I sit here in the vehicle, I'm acutely aware that it's like a moment can just roll or flop over at any time. My jaw has been clenched so hard that it's locking up, and I've noticed I might not be built for this. Despite being incredibly talented at off-roading, I do clench my jaw so much that it might not be good for me.

We're now more than three-quarters of the way through the day, and I've been trail riding with people who have rolled up to join us – a group we call "Allen's Regret". Today has seen some incredible challenges, and I'm grateful to Matt, my spotter, for helping me navigate them. The vehicle is incredible, and I feel like I'm getting more comfortable with each obstacle.

One of the most difficult challenges was when we had to drive up a wall, which seemed like an impossible task. As you reach the top, you need to start turning to the right, but not too early or you'll skid and end up landing upside down. Matt coached me through it, and I managed to make it through without any issues.

We're now at the most difficult challenge of the day – making a tight turn on a steep incline. This is a big obstacle, and I'm feeling nervous, but I'm trying not to think about anything that could go wrong. Matt's confidence in me is inspiring, and he believes I can do it.

As we complete this final challenge, I feel an overwhelming sense of relief and pride. We made it through the day without any major issues, and I'm grateful for the experience. The truck performed incredibly well, and I'm impressed by its capabilities.

**The Final Challenge: Tug of War**

With our biggest competitor out of the picture, we're now facing a tug of war challenge. Our strategy is to bury our tires in the sand and wait until the right moment to strike. The crowd is cheering us on, and I'm feeling the pressure. Despite getting tossed around, Matt and his team managed to pull through the wind, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough for the judges.

As we leave the competition, I'm proud of our team and how far we've come. We're already looking forward to next year's event, where we'll aim to take home the top prize. Thank you to all who watched and supported us – we appreciate your enthusiasm and support.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday I'll be competing in the most elite off-road challenge in the entire world where I'll be facing increasingly difficult challenges to prove if I have what it takes to become the greatest off-roader on the planet of you two I'm no off-roader but lucky for me neither is my competition will'll each be paired with a more experienced Pro driver and my teammate is the recovery Legend and himself Matt from Matt's off-road recovery let's get off the road and into the record books West Champlain you're going down the first Trail we're tackling is rated at a level eight on the difficulty scale meaning vehicle damage and rollovers are highly likely all right I'm spotting from inside here cuz it's warmer ah I trust this guy we'll be facing obstacles and Ledges up to 6 ft tall in near vertical grades 12 to 14 ft tall and again I just want to remind you guys I have no idea what I'm doing just put it down there in low gear and just now now just drive straight for a second turn to the right you need to be about Long Way long ways over here that's too much about there you got this we have some gear back there all right so I am remembering that Matt doesn't like to warn I don't know if he did I not say skyt he said skyt I I didn't decipher it well enough I just got a piece of information on the way up here that does make me a little bit nervous I was completely confident until Matt just told me there is a standing offer for the more the vehicle that I will be driving all day for $2 million and if I wreck it that offer is gone the gatekeeper is a fin so you got to climb up onto the fin uhhuh and then drive on the top of it without falling off it's not very clean so so there's it gets really off camber and then you have to drive around a pit of death and there there's a couple places on this where I have firsthand seen people flop into them accidentally and this is one of them and it's one where if we fall in it we'll be upside down and we won't be able to get out because the windows will be blocked by rocks we'll have to hope the windshield pops out but we won't that's not going to happen right it's not going to happen to me because I'm going to be out spotting you okay great sounds good but but go let's go all right so to make me even more nervous Matt puts his wife in the car with me so I'll total his car and I got to keep her safe keep my family safe keep my car in one piece you're doing great Welcome to Hell so the pit of death is on your right okay cool thanks the pit of death is on our right the pit of death we just updated by Matt Jamie confirmed the pit of death is on our right this is where it P Fun hit the bottom I think you might have broke it $2 million there's so many Spectators out here it's like Group B the people are our barriers there is no runoff I'm getting through this Trail just fine but my Nemesis Weston has hit some additional obstacles what happened here um you wouldn't believe it them guys ran into me so I backed into them oh yeah and then we had a a bumper war in the middle of an off-road Trail this this is the the chasm of death everything is of death yes so you get you a thesaurus this a is there another word for death the Gateway of death the chasm of death this is Chasm of mortise of mortise so what's going to happen here is you're going to control your descent at a bad angle and you're not going to roll it I have recovered a Jeep here that rolled okay and you'll know when we get there you'll know where the spot is so I'm not even going to tell you some controlling my speed at what angle a bad angle a bad angle there's the Skittles we lost all the Skittles iard the Skittles so the next obstacle is Jimmy Legs named after Estelle castanza okay okay she's got the Jimmy Legs yeah yeah she's got the Jimmy Legs there's stuff that you would normally drive around in like a pickup or a Jeep or something but the best way to do it in this thing because the tires are so big and it's got such crazy gearing is just drive straight up it so multiple times today I've driven straight up a wall and driven straight down a wall a couple times and I can only assume that I'm going to go a vertical more in the mo a the mo a is a 1961 Chevy Corvair station wagon set on top of a tube chassis powered by a 5.3 L lm7 engine sending all them her Pur to Massive 40in Tires it's very kind of like nerve-wracking doing these uh uh obstacles because you're going like 0o miles per hour but you're changing like your angle like literally like the pitch and yaw of the vehicle that you're in so much that it is like at any moment you can just like roll or like flop over and I'm very conscious of that and I just noticed uh that my jaw like I've been clenching my jaw so hard that it like is locking up so I've like TM okay I don't know if I'm built for this I mean yeah I'm incredibly talented at it am I a natural yeah but do I maybe clench my jaw so much that it might not be uh good for me yeah definitely we are more than 3/4 of the way through this I've been trail riding with people that have rolled up here who we call it Allen's regret so I got to kind of focus on spotting in some places this is really really out of james' element left turn left if you can there you go just come forward what did we break did it come out of four-wheel drive out of oh came out of four-wheel drive you keep checking that I'll hold it for a minute okay okay come this way as you come up all right now you got to drive up that wall really apparently uh match just told me to drive up this wall that one okay and as you get to the top you're going to start turning a little bit to the right but not too early or you'll start skidding and go off sideways and land upside down right out that window now to start turning to the right a little bit turn to the left right piece of cake hard right wo now we're at the most difficult challenge of the day it's time to make Matt The Donut community and America proud this is a big obstacle how do you feel buddy I feel great got a great rig got a great spotter just trying to make Matt proud I think you're doing a great job doing a great job what do you think could go wrong I'm trying not to think about anything that could go wrong become the greatest offroader on the planet you make me believe it's being scared and going through the obstacles acting as SP up w w all right that was crazy D final Obstacle of the day we just cleared the shoot almost 90° vertical uh amazing you're just straight up staring at the sky forever we did really well Matt coached me through it this truck is awesome finals baby it is day two the final day the finals we made it so we're going to land This Plane Drive these trucks and bring the championship on for donut first up we got some sort of tug of war trucks pulling trucks it rained last night so we're going to see how much traction comes into play competition has thinned but we are not done yet the guy who's pulling us is known for doing obstacles backwards so naturally he's going to pull us backwards give the people what they want a show that's a big rig passengers hping up the crowd what was the ride like uh at some point you that you're on land and it starts feeling like water you're coring dying the way great time right on right on like a jet ski on dirt Weston and Robbie Leighton fought hard but unfortunately for them their rig is overheating get some air through that radiator with our biggest competitor out of the picture all that's left is our final challenge a tug of war a lot of the spectators have been telling me Jam you did such a great job you make me believe I really appreciate it makes me feel really good how do you think we stack up yeah our strategy is
