finally mike emerges and heidi realizes her family is still intact. at last heidi can let go of her own anxiety. right down from where they turned the jeep back over, i walked down to the base of that and just threw up. my nerves were shot. but they are not done yet. they are in the middle of the desert with miles left to go. and mike is still up for adventure. there s actually a more difficult obstacle after this one that really required some precision driving. it was freaky. considering what they have just experienced, the kids in the jeep are amazingly relaxed. the youngest one, we got him strapped in and he went to sleep, and the oldest one said i m okay and just went on his way. later on the mays post the video of this spill on youtube and it becomes an internet sensation.
some of the people that have posted comments on youtube back to us about that we are bad parents, that we are bad, you know, we should be charged with child endangerment. for those critics, heidi has an answer. like i like to tell everybody, the family that plays together stays together, and that s our motto. and the boys to this day still talk about that rollover and talk about how much fun they had that day and how scary it was, but they are, you know, happy as a family that we go and do this. i think we are all just a little bit of adrenaline junkies. coming up, a base jumper free-falls to the earth. they say if you start base jumping, you are going to love base jumping. ok, guys what s next ?

out to join the watching crowd when they reach the trail s tougher challenges. my husband does all of the driving and i m more of the spectator, navigator-type person. right over the top. you re down. this time in addition to being a spectator-navigator, heidi is also the family photographer. this is the first time that we are going to videotape, so we want everybody to be in the vehicle and mom will videotape it and it will be a great thing to show. straight down. as heidi tapes, mike drives the jeep and the kids up and down a ragged cliff known as tilt-a-wheel. hold on! when we started the run, i just expected it would be a quick two-minute run and we would be at the bottom watching the next person go through. but only seconds later, heidi senses something is wrong. there s this awful creaking
