Whoever was the two-toothed, backwoods, extra-large hat redneck that came up with this fad of burying the back tires of your 'little man syndrome' pick-up, KNOCK IT OFF!!!! Let's hope this fad suffers the same fate as the Macarena, Pet Rocks, and Rolled Up Blue Jeans!!!! Twisted Evil

I am so sick of dodging your ruts, or worse, rattling my front end while I drive down the beach and happen upon your holes!

A POX ON YOUR HOUSE.

That is ALL.

When and why did this become a fad?!?
Once saw a kid do this at the Packery jetty parking area in a truck sporting 54" tires! Shocked

Careful there: may be some idiots trying to reinvent the "get 'em stuck in my ruts, then charge to pull them out" that was epidemic for a while at the north FPJ, back in the early 70's, until the law FINALLY caught on.

Then again, people are doing some REALLY stupid crap these days just to video it and put it in Youtube. Go figure...... Like Forest, Forest Gump's mom used to quip: "Stupid is as stupid does"!!!! Rolling Eyes

I'll join in....what's also fun is when idiots dig trenches on either side of their camp (topes) to get people to slow down because they have kids or dogs...then they leave and don't fill them in....

THOSE people need to be strung up by their toes, as well as the DB's that do donuts all over the beach and cause as much front end damage as driving roads in the bluff....

Heh. A few years back I saw one HUGE camp (10+ cars) that had orange parking cones out around the 17. They were about 75 yards or so from their camp on both sides-- three cones spread across the beach, not really in anyone's way, but they had a big sign posted off the middle one. It read, "CAUTION: Large, DEEP holes ahead." Even made out of the diamond construction tape so it was reflective at night. Well, to be sure, I slowed down to a crawl (I always slow down to 10 when going through camps anyway-- but this one made me go REAL slow). Turns out, there were no holes. But they sure got me to slow down.

I noticed this phenomenon when I moved here from Galveston. Never saw this behavior (buried rear tires) in Galveston and noticed it seemed to be the cool thing to do around here. I've also noticed many people seem to have no problems driving a $40-50k vehicle through salt water on purpose.

I theorized that the morons have their trucks jacked up so high they cant sit on the tailgate so they bury the tires so they can sit on the tailgate, but that is just a theory.

I saw this rear tire phenomenon just north of Fish Pass jetties on Saturday. Also, saw the remnant ruts of previous buried read tires. I just shook my headed and wondered wtf are people thinking these days.

And some day in our life we will not be able to drive down the beach because of such things ...

WTH? This is a thing??? I saw one like that last year. I stopped and offered to pull him out. Laughing

He looked at me funny and said no he's not stuck he was just goofing off.

There were a bunch of holes dug in the actual road on the north end of pins. Not trenches but sort of rectangular holes like they were dug with a snow shovel.

For those to lazy to dig the trench you can use your truck to do it. Stand on the break get tires to dig in then inch slowly forward digging a trench. The sand will pile up loosely in the trench so filling it in is as easy as driving over it a few times. Hit at a high rate of speed going across the double ditch will get the drivers attention.
