Absolutely amazing! 100% recommend this for anyone!It was a fun and challenging team work experience, including the passenger too helping with some of the controls and navigation challenges.Chris is a fantastic teacher and guides you through each course. We both felt very safe under his guidance (the guidance is 1000% necessary as the courses and driving are totally different to "normal" driving and even 4x4 driving).We did the full package, which took just over 2 hours to complete.We would recommend the full package, as it is so fun you'll want to do them all, and to experience the full challenge!I was a little worried it would be too similar to 4x4 driving, but this was not the case at all with how Chris's "cars" drive.Chris had great communication and emailed my booking confirmation straight after I booked, he sms'ed and emailed confirmation, and the day prior checked in with update for weather, what to bring etc.Thank you so much Chris for such a fun morning and making Aaron's birthday special 🥰

Our experience with Ragged Edge was absolutely fabulous. Due to COVID we had to reschedule our booking. 3 years later they honoured our purchase .. so, buy in advance and when it suits you .. go and enjoy your 4x4 experience. The tracks were very challenging with loads of bends and twists, mud and rocks, walls and deep puddles.Chris was very friendly and patient. Thank you Chris for the time you put into making this experience fun for us all.

If you want to try something different then definitely give Ragged Edge 4x4 a go!! Chris is an amazing instructor and the courses are epic!! Bring a passenger and get their blood pumping as you go sideways through holes and across a near vertical wall!! Amazing day, thank you very much!!!

Awesome experience from start to finish.Chris is professional, patient, relaxed yet highly experienced. He is an exceptional communicator who in 1 hour takes you from novice driver of one of these amazing V8 powered 4-wheel steer machines to doing things you would never have expected possible or within your own capability. His instructions are crystal clear and incorporate him showing first hand then letting you take the reins.Just as importantly, Chris himself made the experience most enjoyable, adding his own brand of welcomed dry humour.My wife and I had a blast and both highly recommend Ragged Edge to anyone wanting to challenge themselves and have some unique fun 'time out'.Lastly, Ragged Edge is a privately owned (Chris) local business that has survived COVID. Let's all support businesses like this to help them get back "on track" (pun intended).Thanks Chris for being such a friendly and capable host, ensuring that we had a wonderful and memorable morning in "Lumpy", a truly amazing vehicle.Peter

Had an absolute ball today. Chris was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process from booking in, re scheduling due to weather and then finally doing it.Chris’s knowledge and enthusiasm throughout the whole experience is what made it soo much fun. The joy he takes in watching you figure out how to navigate the course and fail was lots of fun.10/10 and would highly recommend it to anyone on the fence.Cheers!

Chris is an absolute legend, very professional and patient through the walkthrough of how to drive the buggy. Takes you on a driven lap as well as let's you drive your own through the course. Well worth it!

Wow what a great day out! Didn't know what to expect even up to getting in the buggy. The day got better each drive and track. Chris was a very organised operator and even better teacher. Go in with an open mind and be ready to drive like you never have! Thanks Chris for a great day out. Will be recommending you to everyone I know. Cheers Dan

This experience was a surprise gift from my wife, so I had no idea something like this even existed.I really enjoyed the experience regardless of my unenthusiastic expressions and what Chris (the business owner) would have to say about it.The entire course is designed to last about an hour but Chris is very flexible and takes his time to help you understand the course and the vehicle. He will also navigate you through the toughest course on offer which of course I initially thought he is just now showcasing the capability of the vehicle, only to realise part way through that I’m going to have to perform all these manoeuvres. So my advise to you is pay attention as it’s very useful.Other positives of this activity are that you can have a passenger who gets the exhilarating experience with you. It’s so much cooler than 4WDing in a normal car.Chris is a really good operator, friendly, and a wealth of knowledge. Knows the vehicle so well that he can guide you millimetre perfect from the outside and is also very clear with the instructions.I already have a list of people I would be recommending this for in my family and will be looking forward to doing it again haha.PS you get to way cooler stuff than shown in the images. Also I’m confident that it is well priced because my wife booked it

Was a great experience. Nothing like anything I had done in a car before. Chris was with you the whole time to explain anything you were unsure of and then let’s you go to enjoy the experience while still providing guidance from a distance. Will 100% be back to do it again. Great gift idea for anyone who likes driving or just wants to try something new.

Chrisq is awesome and it offers so much value to the experience, you think you can’t do it but then he teaches you and you do it, it’s incredible what the buggy can do you won’t believe it until you’re in the driver seat

My daughter told me about Ragged Edge when I arrived in Melbourne from Canada for a visit . Right away I knew I wanted to try it , coming from a small off road background I thought I would have an idea of what to do , I didn’t have a clue lol . Chris is such a good instructor with in no time he had me crawling rocks . I cannot recommend this experience enough . It was so much more than I had ever expected , so over the top . If you are anywhere around Melbourne or Geelong Ragged Edge 4X4 cannot be missed you will be sorry . Thank you Chris for one of the biggest highlights of my trip , I wish there were more than five stars.

This would have to be one of the coolest rushes , to drive this course under instruction by Chris, who provides great instructions. was absolutely awesome ! Once you get a idea of the driving style to climb, drop and turn its a crazy experience. Definatly recommend !! Chris was awesome to deal with and provided a great experience all round 😎

I went here with my partner and her Dad, who's has a trials riding background. The car and the course was an absolute blast - you can really do some wicked things in these machines. Big shout out to our expert trainer/driver - Chris. He knows he stuff, is very patient, clear and concise with instruction and knows how to get you to have fun.We highly recommend the 4 course package, espif it's your first time rock crawling. You will not regret it!!

If you an adrenaline junky, or you've done everything, or any reason really you need to come and give Ragged Edge a go. Picture an oversized muscled buggy with a 350chev motor in it with 4 wheel steering driving sideways on hills and obstacles, then challenge yourself to reinvent your concept of driving skills whilst kissing the dirt but not flipping the buggy. Well, that sort of gives you an idea of what to expect.Chris who guides you on how to drive the beast is very patient and informative and makes the adventure so much more enjoyable.My only advice would be to book the longest session as you won't to stop driving the challenging course.

Ragged Edge is a blast. Learning to drive “Lumpy” was made easy with a brilliant instructor Chris. Lots of thrills, challenges and laughs. Highly recommended. Doing something out of your comfort zone was thrilling. If your thinking about it. Just go ahead and book it. No regrets just a awesome day! Thanks Chris
