I can't believe that was 8 years ago. Time flies.

They were hosted on the Comcast website when I lived in Lehi... obviously, I'm no longer a Comcast customer.

Was YouTube even around back then? **EDIT*** No, there was NO YouTube back when this trip went down!!

Lucky for you, I still had these videos and eventually uploaded them to Youtube... some of them are super short clips -

Unfortunately, no. What you see is what I have.

oh great after reading through this old thread i now miss the proving grounds ha ha

 

[zukijames]

does anyone have any more video of proving grounds? how many guys on here made the climb i think the lower proving grounds one 3rd one greg posted in post #46...

 

[neagtea]

I heard Charlie with his buggy that had unimog axles made it

 

[I Lean]

Lots of people climbed that one in Greg's third video, although I don't recall if I ever got to the top of it. That's Lower Proving Grounds.

The last climb on UPPER Proving Grounds was the really nasty one, that only a couple people ever made it to the top without a winch. I heard rumor Charlie Copsey made it, and I've seen video of Nate Williams climbing it in the K2....but that's all I know of.

 

[zukijames]

I think I have a movie from bfe films.. Not reliance the one after that someone climbs it but maybe it was just the one in lower.

Did all of proving grounds close at once or did we lose on part then the other?

Do you thing with parts/buggys advancing so fast that it would be an easier climb now?
Kinda like how everyone makes heldo waterfall now and ever suicide hill

Me and my son driving our old Dodge, ended up in one of those old movies of Lower Proving Grounds.

Yes, things were changing pretty fast, but at the time those were hard climbs. Now, not as hard.
