Default So, SiB went to an offroading track and..... (+ more pics)

as he hadnt done any offroading, he needed a bit of advice on what he was doing.

He could have got advice from Phil2400, who is a talented and tactful offroader, gifted at picking his way through intricate obstacles with just the right amount of throttle, like so:




But he didnt take advice from Phil, he shared with me, and took advice from me instead, which ended up like this........

I took the picture, the really scarey thing though, is that although I did a pretty good job, it wasnt the absolute peak of it, it actually climbed HIGHER than it is shown in that picture.

I fookin LOVE that jump pic How high is that?
Caught it really well Chip




In the above pic you can see me ok..... so where the FLIP have I gone in the next photo below ?
I think I may be somewhere in the footwell having nutted the steering wheel on the way down


I think looking at the dirt flying off the bottom of the SJ in the pic above I'm going up, AFTER hitting the deck -
bouncing back in the air again for a second flight!


Yep, the landing hurt

Yes mate, same place


I'll definately be going there again, although next time we will lay off the big jumps due to the amount of damage that the poor thing suffered on landing (im on about the SJ, not SiB)

So whot damaged did you do to the SJ then it must have been a Solid shell other wise it would have bent in half or snapped
