    Another reason why I never go on mountain runs with people on here. Everyone thinks they are a pro.
    Is there ever a beginner group that goes up there to get some experience?

    I dunno, but I would rather see someone admit they are a n00b at it and drive accordingly then be around someone who says they are experienced and ends up like this guy did.

    Go up by yourself. The way to learn your limits and your car isnt necessarily following others, i gained alot of experience by driving in the mtns after school and durin free time by myself

    yea by following others you might be tempted to go faster than you actually can handle trying to catch up and then you're fucked.. but eventually you will be going in groups and you might have to catch up at times.. catch up in the straight areas not when it curves so my noob advice is dittoing green..you would be to get the feel for it yourself then practice on finding your limit... I might consider going by myself one day since I saw how it was today...

    i can pm you some of the roads that i like. IMO it is better to go with 1 or 2 of your friends. A big group is nothing but trouble unless you are going for a cruise (again IMO).

    Ya man that would be great, I need to get up there sometime. It would be nice to have one or to more people come up also just in case something happens.
