My god, that was about the dumbest thing I've seen... Why would he do that?...

I'm speechless.


And if you watch the rest of the videos, you can see he's very unskilled...

Exactly why the guy's who have been in the wheelin' bizz for years will tell you to not hang onto a vehicle.

Steel is repairable, flesh & bones is often not when crushed.

IMHO, the funny part is that they didn't expect it to keep rolling after being uprighted on such a steep hill...

funny though, even though you know its a bad idea, you see it in countless wheeling pictures of people hanging on the sides. The need for extra weight you think would indicate that the vehicle is unstable and close to a roll.

He was about half a roll away from being tossed into the path of that Zuk. Idiots, plain and simple. And if he'd gotten killed, the 4 wheel drive community would have been painted with the same brush and that trail (assuming it's a legitimate trail) would have been closed as being too dangerous.

Hopefully the video would have prevented that...

HAHA!!! thats one of the funniest freakin things i've ever seen! i mean if the vehicle is balanced out so that you can get it from the side onto all 4's with a 1 man push then it's not gonna magicallly stop on the wheels, its gonna keep on goin. that guy needs to stop and exercise some common sense

Have you watched any of their other videos? If you want to know why trails are being closed, they're part of the problem. Complete disregard for proper land use and total irresponsibility when it comes to driving. They are the bags that women use to clean their plumbing out with.

You mean you're surprised that those yahoos could build an exo that holds up?
