• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Is this real?

For anyone who has NEVER been to MOAB. My advice is GO. Life is short DO NOT put it off. Even if you don't bring your dirt bike there is SOOO much to do. You can rent a jeep for 24 hours for around $175.00. You can ride a horse (I did and still hate those darn things) and look at indian petroglyphs ^Why is there no spell check??? You can walk across archways with your kids. And you can have so much fun with your dirtbike to!! Been there 4 times in my life and CAN NOT wait to go back**************************************** If heaven is like this I would not fear death at all!! What this guy is doing looks AWESOME!! Before they closed Lions Back, back when you could camp there and sneek in the back way to Slick Rock I got to go up it!!! None of my other buddies would do it!! Gotta get back to work so I can save and get there again****************************************
 
Is that sandstone at the arch? Sandstone has awesome grip if so. Otherwise, looks like he is using plain ole physics to make things work if it's real. The cost of F-ing up looks pretty high:eek:

I was there in July 2000 with my Jeep on my way to Baja. Went to lions back & it was closed then with a small shack at the bottom, apparently you had to pay a small fee to go up it. But no one there.
Just as well, as I stood at the bottom & looked up, the first three words out of my mouth were "NFW".

You see the tire tracks from others, you may have seen the countless video's. But damn is it steep for about the first 100 feet, you can't believe anyone could make it up.
The guys at Moab Offroad told me later, the way my jeep was setup, it would have an easy cake walk.

Yep, it's real. I'm pretty sure that's the video of a guy named Adam K. that I've ridden with a few times. He rides the Pro class in the WEBE series in SOCO and is probably the best rider I've ever ridden with. The margin for error on the vid is small, but I've seen him do some stuff in Green River on the slick rock that that makes that vid look like child's play. Brad.
 
is lions back the one they have on the "vacations go bad vid" where the bronco or blazer driven by the guys wife looses control and it nose dives into the dirt commin down it? no one was killed or anything, i had seen that vid a bunch of times.
