Mine rolled after the "WHOOOOOO" angle, but before the "Oh GOD" angle (aka 180 degrees).

There's a video floating around here about it

lol Waffles do sound good!

I too have had the pucker factor many times. The frustrating part about it for me is when I see the pictures afterwards and I'm at about 10*

Most of my puckers don't involve the degree, but the crap I am about to slid into. Be it trees or ground. I have encountered both with not fun endings.

Never had a beer while wheeling? Not everyone out there is innocent. I would never drive drunk, it's scary not knowing which 2 headlights in front of you is real... (only a passengers perspective of course.)

I once was going down a hill that had two ravines washed into it, each a couple of feet deep, and the right side was higher than the left.

I was straddling the ravine on the right, and accidentally slipped into the ravine on the left but the right wheel was still on the high side.

I bet I got to about 35-40 degrees. I had to squeeze to get out the door to spot my next move because it hit the ground.

Well since noone has answered any type of question by the OP...
Normally about 35* is when an unexperienced wheeler will say OH CRAP...
Id say its best not to exceed 40*

Legal notes: I can not be held responsible if you flop at 35*

Harley,

The inappropriate language has been edited out and the guilty parties warned, but since it was more than one person involved I just offered a simple reminder to the whole thread.

That is why you don't see any bad language, it is gone.
