Doing a bit of research and require some input from everyone here
Mudwrestling
A different section away from the big boys stalls where It's affordable for average Joe's to put up a stall showing their little ideas and products, inventions, etc.
Food that doesn't cost $17 a hamburger.
Poll is up, just took me a while to work it out..LOL
More live demos of promo trucks etc for suspension outlets driving around test tracks and putting the trucks through tough terrain (like the test tracks we used to have at the exhibition each year).
Tips and tricks - both for camping, touring and off roading ... again, with live demos.
Is it not multiple choice doggy????????
Extremely outrageous stunts and stupidity 4wd style something like nitro circus.
I have watched a few minutes of 4wd action and it put me to sleep.
Another show that made me laugh and kept me entertained a little was the bush mechanics on sbs.
Something like that would be good tips and tricks on dodgy repairs to get you going again.
A bit of sarcastic humour would go a long way not some boring dribbler.
I'll wait for multiple choice
Tim
I can't make it multiple choice after It's been posted unfortunately Doggy.
I would just delete it and start again mate. When your posting the poll there should be a box to tick just under where you type your answers in which says 'Allow multiple choice".
D) all of the above.
All of the above but without outragess prices something a bit more realistic
As much as we all love to see comp trucks and events I love just watching mild to extreme 4wding in areas that you and I go to in 4wd's that we drive.
Doggy, I reckon all of the above options would make a great show but show videos of public places of mild to extreme and follow their journey through the area.
As always things go wrong....Things break, show us how you fixed it....4wd's get bogged, show us the correct and safe way to recover them in that particular situation.
Stop and camp for the night, show us a good camp cook up, show us what to check on your 4wd at each stop, clean out your filters, check this and check that.
Come up to a deep crossing....Show us how to pick a good line, take your belt off, put on a bra....Whatever!
Stop at an old historical hut....Small brief 2 minute explanation of the history of the area.
Stop at a large hill climb...What line are you going to take and why.....Safety....How are you going to eliminate risk in that climb and why.
Don't just do WA too, get out to the high country, muddy areas of Vic, up to the rocky parts of QLD, outback NT, deep muddy tight bush areas in TAS.
all the previous posts have pretty much covered everything, I think a big thing would be more on the average Joe's 4wd as well, not one's with an open cheque book
I am not doing a TV Show, just interested in everyone's idea of what makes a good show as there are a few around at the moment.......really appreciate everyone's input, please keep it going.
AB, I will have another go at the poll thingy when I am not so tied mate.
Adventure, I want to see 4x4's go to places they rarely go.
Remember "Alby Mangels", I loved that when I was a kid, do a new age version of it.
And titties.
Just no more love day!!! So sick of seeing that place on 4wd tv
I'd like to see more about what the average 4wd stock can get to, and do, most of the shows are about fully set up rigs with lots of dollars spent. Let's see more A/T tyred, non winch mounted, rigs doing trips through Australia. Do unbiased product reviews showing brand against brand, pros and cons.
Tim
More female drivers!!!
Who needs a show on television with the technology today just do your own videos and youtube them atleast then we can watch it without advertisements and product plugging.
The hard part will be enticing the bikini models into the mud .
Im with brooza have them go out and dirty a 4wd then on sign out of the program have the girls in the background washing the vehicle (a GQ of course)
what about......ME
not much intrest for safety and first aid, but then again we're all indestructable
I voted Mild Offroad but would also like Australia Destinations, Safety and ((Patrol related)) Products Reviews
I'd like some more technical reviews and how-to type segments. Real world stuff and geared at a bit of everything. Touring, Extreme, Mild, etc. Just not the 4WD Action rubbish where every product is bloody great cause they are selling it. Also, great locations are a must. Not necessarily the hardest places in the world to get to either.
The best magazines IMHO are ones like Fishing Wild, where the photography is spectacular and creative, and the places are awesome and there is no bias towards anyones products. Make a show like that, and you are on a winner.
Mild off road, destinations, touring & touring set ups, bush activities (camping, fishing, cooking, detecting, walking, photography, collecting etc etc), independent gear reviews. Real world stuff not stuff only accessible or affordable to the rich folk. Like the idea of a modern 'Alby Mangels' although the titties aren't necessary as they tend to become the focus. Touring video blogs. Recovery. What we don't need is all the macho stuff for the boys yet to grow up who still think being loud & macho is cool, it just gets irritating.
BenK nailed it above.
