  • Thanks for sharing... Been there too. (mtb)

  • PRONG! :D

  • you sir, have balls.... good stuff

  • Look scary as fuk

  • best lion's back video or any 4x4 video for that matter. I wonder who was the first person to go down.

  • awsome video.. looks extreme.

  • This is where you need gears, a badass xfercase like an Atlas. Just idle down it

  • lol i came here looking for the M.O.A.B bomb but this is even more epic lol

    u srsly got some balls

  • You got balls of steel my friend. Respect.

  • I'D SHIT MY PANTS

  • my hands are sweating watching this video, gets super intense.

  • excelente!!! la musica ayuda! alguien sabe que grupo es?

  • would someone plz tell me if lion's back is still open to public or not? cuz i've been planning to climb that rock for years and years...

  • You are a brave man!

  • Sweet vid! So cool to see Lion's Back again, as my family used to go down to Moab all the time when I was younger and I'm proud to say I've been up and down this hill once with my dad when I was like ten or something. Scary but awesome just to know you did it :)

  • All I have to say is F**K!!! I wouldn't walk down there! Nut case!

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you for this video. Now those who are now incapable of experiencing the trail can do so. I read you posted that your hands sweat when you watch it...you're not the only one! My girlfriend likes to ride shotgun off-road. She's so cool...when I showed her this vid she nearly slid right off her seat! What mods have you done to your rig? You got pics/a forum where you hang?

  • wtf that last bit at the bottom looks almost vertical. how the hell to people get UP that? insane.

  • WOW :)

  • I heard they are blocking off lion back!!! Nice driving if you do more a lot more of that please try not to wreck so more trails don't get closed:)

  • That would be a bad time to have a break failure.

  • I would shit bricks doing this. that xterra looks badass

  • dude that would scare da shit out of me. i dont think i could do that

  • Great Video! Nice driving too. There is serious pucker factor in several spots of the descent considering the price of screwing up.

  • man all i can say is holy shit and great job

  • hahaha. you guys suck.. i can do that on foot :P

    lool no just kidding

  • I love that point of no return where you say fuck it and just do it.

  • why is it that nobody tries this in reverse?

  • i wanna do it

  • big balls

  • I'm sad they closed it. I remember watching a guy fly up the entire thing on a 2Cyl dirt bike seriously in less than 10 seconds.

  • LOVE Prong!!

  • i would seriously shit myself

  • Nice vid great control Ice cold. some one said lions back is closed now. How sad

  • @kowz4u it is closed. They closed it a couple of years ago. It's always been on private property. Close to the end they actually started charging people $20 a vehicle. Then they found out about the liability, and close it completely.

  • really brave.... loved the video...

  • fuckin hell, that was just a challenge to watch! you got balls!

  • I'm not scared of heights and I wheel all the time but that looks scary as hell.

    Great video.

  • Nice video. Very,very brave people.

  • I am so going there with my Jeep just need to get some new tires lol

  • YOUR LEAKING BRAKE FLUID!!!! haha could you imagine!!

  • WHAT A RUSH! That was awesome!

  • can i take a civic up it?

  • @rawimpact yeah but only if you wanna die =P

  • not without HEAVY moddification

  • can u get bak up

  • you could but seeing where your going would be hard. :)

  • i forgot to breath while i was watching your video dude LOL. Good job for Xterra

  • i wouldnt even want to walk down this hill

  • it's not THAT steep remember the cam is mounted on top of the vehicle, don't get me wrong speaking as someone who has driven those same exact tire tracks it is a hell of a challange but as long as you have a capable rig and take your time you'll do just fine. I still hate the turn around at the top. Maybe I am nuts but I'd still like to try it in the rain.

  • The only "Steep" part is the begging and end. The rest of it can be driven by a car.

  • Yeah it's about 60 degrees at the begining, First time I took my Sami up it I loved it. Especially looking at nothing but sky the first 20 feet or so.

  • Alright, what do you mean a "pinhole" camera? I know what one is in the world of traditional still photography, but not how it relates to a video camera. Cool video anyways.

  • It's about the size of a quarter and the glass is maybe the size of a pen tip. It just plugs into a standard video camera for recording. It's also called a "Spy cam or Nanny Cam."

  • 2001 Nissan Xterra

  • Crazy !

  • your nutts..top driving ;o)

  • Awesome, balls on these fella's !!

  • crazy people! your the ones that make the world go around! NICE vid!!

  • da cagarse intorno!!

  • Perfect song!! That place scares me because I saw the wreckage at the bottom from the others thet went over and died..

  • everyone is saying he has to have good brakes, true but i think tires are almost more important

  • I'd say it's 50/50. Tires get you up, but breaks get you down. :)

  • @Tugonthegoat Good brakes can't get slow you down if you have s**t tyres...

  • @Bongwater123 The great thing about the rock there, it's like sandpaper, this isn't a real hard thing to do if you've got the grits for it.

  • One thing.. maybe the second truck should wait until the other one is done and out of the way.. It would suck it two drivers had to suffer because of the failing of another.

  • They guy infront of me is the back up plan if my breaks fail. :) JK

  • Nice work! Badazz hill...you da man!

  • dude nice driving i wouldn't even attempt that . at the end it was a strait down drop

  • You gotta have some Big Kahuna's to drive down that...well done

  • at the end it looks verticle :\

  • if ure donig this u have got to have very good brakes

  • well played!!!! without seeing it, i wouldn't have thought it possible at the end there. Great drive

  • impressionnant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • holy shit, some people get over excited when 4wding, i think we should show them this to appreciate the skill and determination of crawling...

    who ever said first gear was boring?

  • he did say he sped it up a bit

  • Even in 1st gear I was still riding the breaks. Lets just say I lost a chunk of my seat cover that day! My hands still sweat thinking about it.

  • Jaw dropping!! Excellent driving skills! Scary as hell! Kudos!! Be safe!

  • i shit myself just watching that.... fuck

  • why did they close lions back

  • it was purchased by someone who wanted to build condos at the base. I was there in June and they still haven't done anything with the land (Lions back was always private land btw).

  • @arnold4life476 its obvious. one wrong small move and your dead.

  • nice vid has any oneever rode down it it would be gun.

  • I would have shit and pissed my pants like a scared little girl.

    Nice job!!! Well done!!

  • best footage of this on youtube!

    crazy man

  • Love to touch the brakes after that!

  • hollyyyy cooow crap in the pants!!!!

  • but excellent video! Amazing!

  • My heartbeat would be faster at the higher ground heheh

  • That camera must be tilted down a bit, doesn't matter. That video was SICK

  • WOW!

  • EXTREEEEEEME!!!

  • Bloody awesome guys, blood would be pumping, pity they closed it, seems to happen too much for us 4x4 fanatics

  • why did they close it?

  • The band is Prong and the song is Snap Your Fingers. We were in Moab last week and did part of Hells Revenge and Steel Bender. Anyone know why Lions Back is closed now?

  • The owner sold the property and the new owner decided to close it. They are going to build condos around it.

  • hey who is band and what is name of song

  • intense at the end

  • so sick

  • Terrifying.

  • anyone else see the lizard from 3:02 to 3:05 ?

  • Had to replay it to see, good spotting lol

  • @TheBoyNamedNoize  yup. the O.G. Rock Crawler! And goats.

  • @TheBoyNamedNoize nahh, did you see that BIRD!!!!!!!!!

  • phew !!

  • wow, that is steep! prob makes some of the people that try to take it on think twice when they are half way down.

  • holy sh*t thats steep, looks like yer gonna fall off the end of it!

  • holy crap!!!! i was in moab for the jeep safari a few weeks ago and i had no idea how steep lion's back was!!!! we drove by it and it looked like fun ( it looks a bit scarier now but still cool) but then i saw that it was closed! cuz the new property owner didn't want to charged with lawsuits for people dying!

  • they closed off lions back i think

  • awesome

  • I am so wanting to go back to Moab! What is the name of the song and who from?

  • Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck

  • thanks i needed that

  • Thats the best 4x4 vid Ive seen on here, Id love to see this track in real life but thats as close as im ever gunna get to it, thanks for the ride.

  • i cant wait to take my 87 acura legend , and tear that back... ouch!!!

  • Impressive. I'm more of a Jeep guy but I have always liked those XTerras.

  • Holy Sh*t... the videos from the bottom of Lion's Back dont do justice to how steep that is... good job!

  • Holy moly. How on earth...?! Kudos for getting through that alive ... and catching it on film!

  • More Space between vehicles would be better cause if your brakes fail the guy in front of you is fucked

  • I'd climb it...with a helicopter! Very nice video! Definitely 5 stars. I bet your brakes were hot enough to roast hot dogs on by the time you got to the bottom! I was involuntarily clenching up just watching this video...seriously some crazy stuff.

  • Very Nice View Excelent!! Video nicely done!!!

  • Nice video

  • isn't lion's back closed now?

  • now the other way around

  • Insanely sick, if your ride fails, you're in a whole world of hurt! Pucker factor "10".

  • Got to say this is one of the best vids on here. I thought I was there with you!

    5 Stars.

  • Damn, I'm at full pucker just watching it.

  • holy shit the end is almost strait down.

  • Oh man i could never do that

  • que tal un saludo desde mex olle una pregunta podrias decir ke banda toka el sound track del vidio y como se llama la rola gracias

    see you

  • Lion's Back is now closed because of how many vehicles have actually fallen off the side after people lose control. The new owner got tired of dealing with having to clean up wrecks and also deal with the legal matters that are involved. Lion's Back is very amazing, and I don't even think this video really does it justice. That last drop down to the ground, it is so incredibly steep. No one who hasn't been there would never truly know just how steep it really is. Your eyes can easily trick you.

  • Unfortuantely it is now closed.

    New owner shut off access.

  • cray, do you no why?

  • FANTASTIC!!!!!1

    AMAZING!!!!!

  • Dude try going up the lians back!! Then see what that is like?? A real heart stopper Im sure!!

    !!!VIVA LOS BOMBEROS!!!

  • Ya they wouldn't want to were out the rock

  • fucking awsome dude

  • thats scary as fuck

  • man i gotta try that!
