    I don't think I was ever this bad at backing up but I've seen guys who were almost as bad as this lol.

    I will say again learn how to use your mirrors. Launch in the dark using a truck with a cap and you will soon realize why. Oh and the importance of having clearance lights on your trailer. Those BU cameras are for amateurs LOL.

    EOM should be fun this fall for greenbacks! When they replaced the ramp, we got downgraded from 2 bays down to 1.

    Just like Selkirk Park. During the fall greenback run, some people from the campgroound bring a cooler of beer, a lawn chair and then just sit and watch the gong show at the boat launch.

    Oh man, does that ever remind me of the days of borrowing a home built utility trailer my buddy's grandfather built! 12+ years ago I was convinced I was just the worst at reversing trailers... until I rented a small trailer one weekend for some loads of rock. It was just a totally different experience! I broke out a tape measure the next time I was at his place to check if I was crazy and learned firsthand why it's worthwhile to have a square frame and axle. Reversing it was like trying to win a carnival game, haha. The ball was bigger than the hoop! Being able to use his late grandfather's trailer was appreciated, but I planned my routes a bit more carefully afterwards. Turns out he hated reversing it and thought he was just that bad, too.

    Backing up is a piece of cake....until you’re hooked up to a set of Super B’s for the first time in a congested truck stop.....then you move like a three-legged Lynx!! :confused:
