http://7slotgrille.com/multimedia/peteunf.html 5 meg video of pete in the
rock garden at uwharrie. -- Nathan W. Collier http://UtilityOffRoad.com http://7SlotGrille.com "....a talking bird is a freak" - Mr. Ed |
Re: pete @ UNF
This is kinda an educational video. for those of you with front locker
considerations, this is a good example. when he first tried to get up the hill, both front tires spinning together while "locked" up front caused his front end to slide sideways. From the looks of it, a little less air in the tires would also get him up that easier although without a means to air back up, its not always worth the time. Movies never show how stuff really looks. I bet that little ridge was a lot more intimidating looking in person. Thanks for hosting cool stuff Sandman. I hope you are doing well. KH "Nathan W.
