    As for the quip about the training course being easy...what right do you have to comment on the difficulty of a course you have never seen let alone know where it is? The only reason it looks green is because the only time I had to take video was when we were at the easy parts.
    As for the money feel free to pay $100 for a weekend at RC...then $100+ for gas...then $50+ for food...then $300+ for broken gear(anyone going out to learn is bound to break something)...and well over $1000 for broken parts and even a totally broken rig...then good luck getting home in your rig that you just spent a weekend beating on while you learned how to wheel.There while learning I spent $30 for the week on gas for my rig to get back and forth. I blew a $700 steering setup in one rig and a $400 tire in another...guess how much more I paid for those $0. Sorry if this is harsh but if you openly admit that you may be ignorant on the subject then just leave it be!
    good luck getting home? You learn how to fix your rig.. on the trail or on the side of the road, did the course tell you how to do that? It doesnt matter how much training you have if you wheel recreationaly you will break stuff

      Most of our club trips, people break on the highway driving home, not on the trail... And I'm being serious. Knowing how to fix your rig needs to go way beyond repairs for trail damage.

          East Haddam, Hadlyme, and East Lyme, maybe a little bit of Lyme. Oh and thanks for bringing this up again, I hope to get some more videos that other people took on Monday, they should be MUCH better than the ones I took. And these are actually of me instead of the other guy and the trainers.

              This is their listed address and their actual building.They make you meet them at a public location and then drive you to the course which is just off some random trail off a private trail. I think Bruce spends most of his time in the office though but the building is pretty hard to miss. You drive though $500,000+ homes set back in the woods then you see a big ass yard with a huge garage and a ton of vehicles sitting around, some working, some not, and boats, and just random shit you would find in most off-road enthusiasts yards.

                This is their listed address and their actual building. The course is only 2 minutes down the road but I don't think they like giving that out.
