Boat Ramp Fail, IS A CHILD DRIVING? 

D+ for DUMB.

Mmmmm.you are too generous. To get anything he needs to expend the effort to LEARN how to reverse his rig. What we saw was lazy incompetence.

😂😂😂👌

At least the driver left a tip! 😂

D for drunk

@@TheBigDanShow new subscriber, great content!

I thought the same thing... 20 min must be a compilation.

Is the guy with the skidoo crazy or what?? Follow your trailer my gosh dude why do you have a skidoo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@TimothyBroome-ej1wp Does the ski have reverse, too? 🤔

Me too.

Me too😂

i was yelling at my monitor haha

I did not but now I do 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

hahahaaaaaahaha!! thankyou!

4 minutes in and I felt my heart racing and was wishing I was there to scream at the guy myself. I have to remove myself from situations like this for that reason.

TOO LATE! LOL

@@TheBigDanShow At least he's consistent.

Ik it’s like watching the dog to 10 circles before it lays down😂 such a great video though. The guy’s commentary was perfect.

He needs to drive further down the highway before turning around.....then he would be set up correctly.

Yap me too

I had to stop before three minutes in. Can't have this kind of negativity in my life.

Me too!

Mee too I was thinking of going down here to the big boat dock and watching

You too? Me too,.....LOL! What is wrong with us?

Haha thanks friend

First thing I noticed. 😂

The commentary was the best part 😂

This is why we need to bring back the dinosaurs!

EXACTLY...................I mean Bscking up a Trailor?????????

Worlds fukd

I just bought my first seadoo last weekend and have already figured out for the most part how to back into the water. How do people struggle this much 😂

Lmao

Lmao

Yup Hammered staggering around like that. Should’ve got plate and let authorities check it out before someone else pays the price.

Nobody could be that drunk

Reminds me of when I got in trouble in high school and my dad made me go to work with him as a retail contractor. He had a 5th wheel 40ft box trailer he made into a traveling workshop pretty much. Well one day we pulled the trailer into a campground and my dad asked me to park the trailer bc he needed to talk to some guys standing by the road. I don’t get out, just hopped over to the driver’s seat (1 ton dully diesel) I backed the trailer in between two semi trailers 1st attempt. Hopped out of the truck to stretch from our road trip and those guys jaws hit the floor when they saw 15yr old girl me get out of the truck. Now these little trailers can kiss my ass! It’s nothing but Opposite Day and my brain is already opposite so it just doesn’t complete the circuit of thought process anymore lol😂

@@jenniferbruce1846 Maybe we should have met.... A long time ago... Thanks for the story. Right with ya. Have fun and be safe 😄

Sell them

you can't fix stupid

Honestly, I’ve been a truck driver for about 7 years and generally I can back in a 53’ and get it within an inch of where I’m wanting it to go. Give me an 8-10’ trailer and I can be out there all day lol… by the time you notice its drifting one way or the other its already upside down 3 houses down and on fire somehow lol Edit: just watched the video…. I’m not that bad lol

I appreciate that backing a trailer up is harder than it looks. But I also think that after a few attempts, one should be able to start recognizing what the trailer does after certain moves. And then you keep trying and it will get better each time. But if you lack logic insight, than don't even try and just ask someone to do it.

@@FetidafI drive for an LTL company. It’s true that the longer the trailer, the more forgiving it is. Some days I’ll be out in a 48’ or 53’, then take a second load on a pup (28’), and it takes a couple of cuts to adjust mentally to the difference. But you’re right that at a lot of places you only have a few inches margin for error.

Lots of money.

That's an amazing idea.

I've done it with my camping trailer at home a few times, I've tried to readjust and the only cure was to take a lap and then nailed it on the first try

@@TheSevenJr86 Well done 😆

boat ramps are the best free shows on the planet, i watch two huge people drive their brand new jet skis' right up the ramp and get off and they left them. they must of had a hum dinger hell of a ride that day. can you picture that? they were each 400 plus.

Maybe it would have been nice to see somebody giving the guy a little help instead of making a joke out of it! Shame on you people!!

Lol so theyre going to swim across to help?

Ahh, progressed further into the vid. Still a decent walk. Guy shouldn’t own anything he has to put on a trailer..

@@dianeferguson1074 If someone else does the job for him, he will never learn! But in this special case, after the countless tries he did and still didn't get it, I think he should sell everything he has that floats or rolls, and spend the rest of his life as a monk or something like that. Otherwise, he will forever be a liability for everyone around himself.

Explains what?

Honda doesn't make trucks, they make truck shaped cars!

@Phill Huddleston You do realize that Honda isn't a some new company right? They don't make a move without knowing that it was a good move.....the RidgeLine is a good truck and is just as good as any other light duty truck trying to haul some jetskis.....

A ridgeline is not a truck. It’s a car with a bed. Not capable of anything other than grocery getting

​@Audiwan Kenobi you must be the one driving the Honda truck

@rolandstack1832 been telling people that for years...makes it a lot easier

exactly, at what point do you stop and go ok WTF am I doing wrong and anaylize what is going on when you turn the wheel one way vs the other.

Drunk

@@Bootyhunter1971 Sadly, I think not!

@@davidoickle1778 Brain turned OFF

Maybe he is an IT guy. When a programme freezes they always say " Try going out of it and back in again".

I don't think so, because someone whith a functionning brain and who is drunk WOULD still have made it after a try or two.

He’s drunkAG!😂😢

@@TheBigDanShow Thanks Dan. i'm laughing at this all the way from Finland. couple first minutes i was sure it is a woman. quickly i realized that a woman would have stepped out and asked for help. I bought my first boat (kello 2) last summer and rarely had used a trailer before and was intimidated about the show i will put on trying to back up my boat down a ramp that was maybe 3 feet wider than my trailer, covered in reeds. rocks on the other side and concrete slab on the other side. it was fairly late and it was difficult to see from the mirrors but i only had to stop and go forward 2 times to straighten a bit and she was wet. That woman of you're is a keeper for sure :D

You South African

My first time It was a two lane ramp but it was a really busy day but I did it first try but when I went to start my boat it decided it wasnt going to run that day so had to immediately walk five minutes back to my tr

Same dude 😂

He's probably drunk

He probably just unstrapped it and slid it off the trailer, onto the concrete, and into the water.

True

Umm, no, not all of us. I've never been that F'd up at backing a trailer ever.

😂 you might be next lol

Truth

It's not hard, practice at home. This guy was 🤡 clowning around obviously 🙄

key to success is slow and small. straighten it up and ease 'er back

@@speedfreak8200 Exactly .... go to a parking lot and practice.

Put one hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Whatever way the trailer needs to go move that hand in that direction a LITTLE bit! It's not that difficult.

Any tips with a single jet ski trailer?

Wow that's so awesome. Man you are so cool

@@whitegoodman7465 You either lower the tailgate so you can see the trailer or use a backup camera. I had to do this when trying to back in a trailer for a tiny 12 foot V-hull boat that was narrower than my truck.

​@@whitegoodman7465when you line up for the ramp pull forward until the trailer is parallel with the truck, then lower the gate, look over your shoulder directly at the trailer and turn the wheel asif you were driving the trailer, go slow until you're confident, remember the shorter the trailer the more responsive it is to your inputs on the wheel and be careful not to turn sharp with the gate down some trailers will contact and crunch it up real nice for you. Good luck stay safe out there.

Put flagpoles on either side of the trailer near the brake lights. 4 foot high, that's how they did a small trailer before cameras. This one here is just a disaster 😆

Salt in the wound lol

Small trailers are the easiest 🤡

@@zoobrizz Wrong!

Yeah, no mate, small trailers move around more with small steering adjustments. It's bc of the single axle. And the fact that you normally can't see empty 6ft trailers without a backup camera. Double axle trailers are so much easier to back, you can see it out the rear window and it reacts slower to turns while backing. 🤨🤡

That’s some great advice! Take your boat or camper to a parking lot and practice. Even with all the 360° cameras on my truck, I still use my mirrors and drop the tailgate on steep ramps, my advice is to just use your mirrors, cameras can get dirty, broken, hard to see at night and hard to judge distances, I see lots of people make more mistakes with cameras. Master the mirrors and then use the cameras to assist.

When your shitfaced drunk you can.

He keeps cutting too sharp.

Guy's hammered or just high. Add a spoonful of stupid and voila

It would have been easier if he had three big guys just come lift the trailer into position each time so he could back straight up.

​@@jamesplymire5342 more than that he kept turning the wrong direction. Even when he would stop, I started thinking ok he's going to adjust, turn the wheel the correct way. But nope, double down on the wrong direction!

I was taught how to drive and dock a boat by the time I was about 12. Realizing now that wasn’t really legal, but it was on a quiet lake. Anyway, I went with my Grandaddy and uncle to the bot ramp. I would get out of the truck and help direct. But I wasn’t allowed to do the driving. Fun times, though!

Much Love. Unfortunately. It’s real lol

Thats all ya gotta do

That's what your mirrors are for. Dropping your tail gate is a good way to get it torn up

Or use the cam. Maybe works great for me. But honestly after a while it kind of becomes muscle memory

He is like most truck driver on the road right now knows it all but is no help to anyone sits in his truck and talks to him self

@@daveedwards2124 its not like he can do a whole lot from the middle of a bridge going over the lake

So he is a long distance Karen? 👍

@@daveedwards2124 if you have no idea what a Karen is then yea, I guess you could call him that.

You must be a over the road truck driver CB helper? I see people trying to back up all the time. You can watch or be a help like the lady who started walking to help the guy out.

Lol

Exactly, our family ranch is on a peninsula and it's critical that everyone over 5 years old knows how to drive every vehicle, farm equipment, and water craft. Backing up trailers is mandatory starting from the time they can turn a steering wheel. For us it's a matter of safety. Sometimes we don't have an adult available to help with loading or unloading trailers, so the children must be well trained, well practiced and know what they are doing. And no, we don't turn them loose on the highway alone , until they have a license. I refuse to raise idiots, this young generation coming up is going to need every skill we can possibly teach them.

@@TheBigDanShow Going to a launch and a super windy and cold day could always be done too, just not when people are there. Annoying when my local small launches are blocked off by idoits. I learned on a 30 degree day with high winds in a matter of 2-5 minutes at max. These people go into it without getting any advice and block it off for everyone else

😂

Shouldn't it be you hook a trailer to a riding lawn mower or atv and practice at home first?😂

Yes, parking lot.

Yeah, when your sh8 faced drunk and shouldn't be driving... If I was there he would have went to jail...

@@historyhunter5215 I’ve backed up a time or 2 shit faced without a problem, captain was sober and he was driving once we left the parking lot.

@@turbolab2376 sure....

It's hard....lol. put me in a skid loader, or anything I can drive....BESIDES A TRUCK!!! I get so confused and don't know why....

Why doesnt the guy behind the camera go and help the guy instead of watching him thru a lense and making fun of him. Teach the guy, show the guy.

Who the hell could have predicted it would take 30 minutes and 5 laps? I’m assuming he was trying to use his back up camera instead of using his mirrors and his head. Honestly he wasn’t in any shape to drive anything.

@@TheBigDanShowyour horrible 😂😂😂

@@Adam-vs2inI use my cam and it works fine. If it didn’t I’d use my Mirro’s or a spotter or any other means. Either way non of the above are that difficult.

I must it admit, without my boat on my trailer, and it the ramp is the right angle, I can’t see my trailer at all when backing up. It’s a 15 foot zodiac. That being said 2 or 3 times usually does it. Not 27

Is a single trailer harder?

@@scottfreedoms9584 Single axle trailers "jack-knife" (swing too far in one direction to continue backing up) much quicker than a tandem (double) axle trailer. A small trailer that is narrower than the vehicle driving it can be a little bit of a challenge to reverse with because they will begin jack-knifing before you can see the tires of the trailer in your side view mirrors to correct the swing. That said, this trailer is wider than his truck and he has no real excuse...

​@@scottfreedoms9584 A single jet ski trailer is about half as wide. By the time you see it in your mirror it's to late and have to pull forward to straighten it out. A short narrow trailer is the most difficult to back up. The longer the trailer the easier it is.

Exactly. It's not hard if you put your hand at six and take it nice and slow.

This!!!

yeah but then no one would watch the video ;)

I'm betting he is just ignorant and unskilled. Also betting he's had a few super uncanny successes with backing a trailer, but didn't know what he did right.

I don’t think he is, there’s people that are really this incompetent, you can usually spot them by their Honda Ridgelines 🤣

Not to mention the idiot floating the trailer. I think If I was pulling up to that ramp and saw them, I'd just go to another another one. The jet ski guy was funny, but the trailer floater was actually potentially worse. I saw a guy do that once, who proceeded to get his trailer stuck under the dock and shut the damn thing completely down. I had to haul ass across the lake and have someone come and drive my truck to the new ramp, so I could make it to work on time. When I passed by them on the way back, he was still stuck and USACE were there and didn't look very happy with him at all.

💯

Lol right

@Juggling the Jares' yeah Kevin telling another unbelievable story .....

@@speedfreak8200 Be a gentleman and try it sometime...they will let you drive...of course, if you don't have skills, just keep dissing people on RU-vid. It's easier than backing a trailer.

I’ve seen a lot of women back up some serious rigs at my local ramp, I’ve been asked to back trailers in for people, always when the ramps are busy noobs get stage fright.

@@turbolab2376 I didn't mean to imply that women can't back a trailer, as anyone who practices can surely master the process. My wife is getting quite good at it and will only ask for help if it is dark, which sucks for me since I can't see either. I don't think I would ask a guy if he want's help as he would be far less likely to let me drive.

Oh it was funny lol

I haven't backed up a trailer much, but I've had success with steering from the 6 o'clock position and swinging my right arm in the direction you want the trailer to go, which is the opposite way, but works and is easy to maneuver.

@@TheBigDanShow He mastered the door handle on his truck once, but it had to be pure luck.

so you were born with the ability to back a trailer up perfectly huh.

@@effenkat3893 Spoken like someone else who can’t back a trailer. No one is born an expert, just like driving. I didn’t pull one until I could do it safely. I was taught at a fairly young age and never had issues. It’s a common sense thing really and most everyone watching this would agree. Even the guy narrating this knew exactly what needed to happen. It’s not rocket science. Point is, learn or don’t pull one until you do. Too much damage can happen.

@@randyporter3491 your analysis is incorrect sir...i drove a semi truck of many different types for 27 years and i have well over a million miles logged, i was a driver trainer actually. in addition to that i have placed in truck rodeos 3 times...my intent was to point out that your comments were pretty harsh on someone thats new to backing...so...how good were you at your fairly young age?...doesnt matter how old you were you sucked at first just like me and everyone else so get off your high horse..cuz you ARE speaking to an expert on this subject...have a good day. ps you cant learn without doing.

@@TheBigDanShow 🤣 you're right they could never replace Dale Earnhardt Even Beyonce new better everything in a box to the left 🤦☠️

Lmao a living breathing motivational poster 😂

You mean, like a fly trying to go through a window? 😆

lol true

🤣🤣🤣

There are tons of videos to learn how, I don't feel for him. I feel for people who will have to wait at the ramp 45 minutes for this idiot to get thru.

@@TheBigDanShow I love your commentary!! Had me rolling. 🤣😂

If anyone watching has the problem this guy was, keep in mind a long wheelbase truck backing a tiny short trailer is the most difficult rig. If you have the opportunity to practice with a short truck and loooong trailer you will learn much more quickly. If your rig prevents you from seeing the tiny trailer until it is already jackknifed you will never learn! Get a broomstick with a magnet on the end and stick it as far back on the trailer as you can. Practice in a massive empty parking lot for a few hours then impress your friends for life. Just don't lose your broomstick!

@@kevinsellsit5584 hey there Kevin, mate I understand having a short trailer is difficult but if you don’t know how to reverse a small trailer, don’t get one! Small steering movements are the key to reversing with a short trailer. Practice makes perfect too!

@@radicalroy27 I realise that I was referring to the guy in the video. Short trailers tend to challenge people like the guy in the vid who clearly has no concept of backing a trailer, but if he knew it is easier to learn with a long trailer he might actually try it and actually learn. Guys like you & I were drifting go karts before that guy learned to ride a bike...wait, I doubt he could ride a bike. But you get my point. A few helpful pointers and someday they might look less stupid.

My dude was definitely chugging hard seltzers 😂

@@ryanrossell8479 He's had a few for sure. feel bad for the guy for getting blasted on youtube

🫣

You are correct. It makes 100% more sense than a Democrat with a PWC. Which is probably what he is considering the amount of times he failed at backing. Just like the amount of times you Dems have failed to put Trump in prison.
