    The way that pootrol was grabbing and slipping, I was pretty surprised not to hear something go bang/crunch.
    That's alot of money to spend just to stage an accident.
    If it was legit though, doubt the kid wanted to be lectured by some bloke from a DVD...

    Stuck on a steep track, dirty side up vs smiling politely in front of a camera with the car back on the road and my wallet untouched - I know which I'd choose.
    Its not like he had to wear a 4WD Action cap or do the interview naked

    Fair point, but still. He'll have plenty of time to reflect on his mistake(s). Good little promo for coopers there at the end...

    I lost track in the end. I think the pumpin' music did it.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    Ironic then that all the 4WDA team vehicles are plastered with "TJM Equipped" stickers.

    Id also say it was staged, The vehicle may not have been intentionally rolled just for the show but I suspect that it was a vehicle that was rolled, someone happened to come along so the rest of it was staged up around that on the "well do the recovery for free if you let us film it for a promo"

    I think the other video on how to do recoveries taken from in perth is much better show.

    I'd be inclined to agree with dave (blknight) in that the rollover itself wasn't staged, but some sort of deal was made.
    If it was a real emergency then there'd be no filming.
