Yep seen that and don't know why I never showed it here. Cheers TC, one very lucky guy indeed. Someone should have atleast told him he was not in line before going down though.

You can really blame this on driver inexperience.
I really think people that have not had a lot of experience in 4WDing need to get some time up before tackling challenges like gunshot etc. Driver education through a course and some short trips should be the minimum.

This is one of the benefits of joining a 4WD club, doing the clubs basic driver training program is mandatory before you can attend any trips that require low range. After the driver training you are encouraged to go on a few trips and put into practice what you've just learnt, and do it all in the company of other friendly like minded people. For a novice it's a great introduction to 4WDing.

Seeing some of the footage I might trade my patrol of a Volkswagen and stay in the city
Driver inexperience or stuboorness, did I see right he had a spotter but wasn't listening?
I found with tricky stuff people dont use spotters (or just ignore them) to be cool and that gets them into trouble a lot.
Slow and steady takes it all the time....
Was the second video the second time he did it (after he repaired the horn?
right on mate. probably gun ho! they forgot the bit about the guy havein to clean the seat and his change his pants.
I watched this a few times just to see if I'd missed anything...because on first impressions it didn't look that hard out. Am I missing something? Heading up might be greasy but going down would appear to be pretty simple. Maybe the spectators were just waiting to see someone crash,hence the lack of guiding.
I agree TC, we should organise a category of courses and contacts around each capital city to help new 4x4 drivers.
