    This is why our tracks are ruined, Idiots like this...

    Came across this vid on Youtube they call themselves Bush Assassins, more like Bush Tossers! Note: there is plenty of guys watching and no one spotting, I would not either chances are you'll get run over. These nimwits need to get educated on what tread lightly means [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm3jucmz-Ts]bush assassins watagans march 12 - YouTube[/ame]


    And this is how it should be driven, and organised. Well done [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncPnkiTj3m4]Lost City, Lithgow NSW, 4x4 4WD Trip - YouTube[/ame]

    Whats your thoughts?

    Seen plenty of videos of members on here driving the same.

    They were pretty tame to be honest.

    Even your "example" video shows quite a bit of wheelspin.

    Video often can't show the exact conditions...

    I think you're being over sensitive on this occasion.

    I agree, the tracks are much drier in the 2nd video, and besides, IMO in the first video they aren't being reckless, I didn't see any tracks being damaged, wheelspin isn't always a terrible thing

    I noticed that all of the vehicles in the first Vid have their tyre pressures way too high.

    My thoughts -
    As Tombie says, pretty tame, although they're clearly not afraid to give it some right foot.
    I do, however, think the individuals in the first video have the potential to do greater damage to the tracks in less favourable conditions.
    Cheers

    On the whole, not too bad...

    There were a few occasions where the gear selection was probably too low, causing excessive wheel spin and a couple of the lines could be better. Other than that, I didn't see too many issues with that vid.

    Na I can see your point. Opposite poles to a defender really.

    The lift lock and flog approach seems to be the only approach. Given that many Jap vehicles have no articulation, ground clearance, or gearing; power is the only thing left.

    I see one of the holes was full of logs just waiting to rip some under carriage out. It seems many of those approaches are regularly approved by a certain magazine.

    I like the way the chick in the suzuki is texting while the BF drives. Probably booking an appointment for a chiropractor the way here head is flogging about.
