Oh yeah, both would have cost me a new pair of BVD's, Levi's and seat covers!

Funny but some of those drivers that do that are just as scared of NY or LA traffic as we are of the hill!

[colour=blue]In the sand dune video, the L/H/F tire punctured as he lands the flip. Take a close look, as he powers down the hill the tire is attempting to exit the scene - without the rim.

YUP saw that.
But still good control.
But rwise reminded me of my two wheeler days.. 200 lb bike above me with hands on handle bars.. choice.. try to bring it down in front and still climb.. or push it off over backwards and hope it doesn't hit me on the way down. :(

Sure looks like fun. Growing up in my area, we had hills like that, but they were covered with obstacles like trees, moss covered rocks, and bushes. Made things real interesting. After getting married and having kids eliminated that fun. Rock crawling wasn't around then, but sure would like to give that a try.

We have some of the best rock crawling here,people come all the way from california to test there rigs here,and in the fall they have a week of rides,they also film it its been on trucks,and in 4x4 magazine for awhile.

And let me tell you dont have to do whats in the video to be scared to drive in the city,city driving scarys the sh#t out of me.
