Urban Wheelin'!
#521
Well, at a slow speed I needed some finesse not to put my NEW plastic bumper through the bank. (Like I did last winter with the old plastic bumper... gotta love drifting on ice.)
Another reason I use 4 low is because it's easier on the clutch... when you're reving and not moving, something's gotta give lol, and I don't need anything to give right now.

and i hear you on wanting to save the front bumper you just replaced. i think i'll wait 'til the Fall before i replace mine, so i won't have to worry about it this Summer (the original owner cracked both corners almost right off).
so i was up @ the new Mal Wart in Alliston today, and figured after dropping almost $350 there, i would (should?) be able to climb/back up the hugh piles of ice that were piled up @ the far end of the lot. it's all still construction around the property, and figured i was far enough outta the way, i wouldn't have a repeat of Christmas Eve again.
WRONG! turns out that when they built this new Mal Wart, they decided to also build the new OPP detachment-right behind it!
so needless to say, i had a lot of cruisers drive by all of a sudden. don't think the actually saw me lining myself up with this really sweet spot, but luckly i tend to hit them in reverse first (to better test the waters, so to speak), and i just made out that i was making a u-turn beside the road. at least that was the story i quickly came up with as they were staring @ me, while they drove by. how the hell do i find these cops around me, but when i want one around for the ***-hat thats driving near me, they're never to be found?!?
anyways............driving home, i went to turn around to go look @ a truck i saw, and the blinding afternoon Sun 'caused me to not see this jump out infront of me,

I drove through a ditch with my Rainier at a fire call yesterday, does that count? Ambulance decided to stop in the middle of the road, so I went offroading around it to get up to the scene. No pictures though...

and i found these pic's on photobucket (accidently did a search on Urban Wheeling). now, i know it's not a Blazer (or a Chevy product @ all), but at least it's not a Furd! hehehehe although he is driving up a Caprice.

Here's my little contribution, I didn't even need A/T's to conquer this bad boy 

Here's a side view after I went a little further up. Check out that sweet flex!

EDIT: Sorry about the crappy focus, I took the pics with my phone.

Yeah, it was a little touch-and-go at first, but I managed to keep the rubber side down. 
I've read this entire thread, and since then I keep spotting all these great urban wheelin' spots when I'm driving. I would've done a lot more tonight but local PD has been trying to crack down severely since they've been threatened by the County Sheriffs that if they don't straighten up, they're gonna come in and take over.
