I wasn't at on the trail during the incident but I was there that night when we were all watching videos of Hell's Revenge.

As soon as the part with the Xterra and the Toyota in question showed up everybody went off about what a retard he was to drive over the cryptobiotic soil.

I belive what they've been saying all along. It wasn't made up after because they were jealous or his ride.
There was serious anger at Chris for blatently disregarding the Tread Lightly rules.
