    It's almost too steep to walk without falling over.

    I think the video does do it justice, The rangey rolls at least half a dozen times even picking up speed. Without the rollover, yeah, hard to tell.

    He just needed to back off the throttle a bit and keep the front wheels on the ground

    How many here can honestly say they have been taught how to do a reverse stall recovery? And I'm talking by a recognised instructor - not by a mate who was shown by a mate who was shown by .....................?!

    Still not a 100 % guarantee I know - but if he had of known how to do it properly - there's a good chance he would not have rolled back and got side on to the hill.

    As I said there is more to it than that. I have been asked by the guy in the know to keep it to myself but the track should be open soon without any serious modifications.

    Yes I was taught by an accredited 4x4 instructor, it part of your membership to do a 4x4 course.
    well thats TLCCV's policy.
    Most of my mates I 4x4 with are instructors, hard to pick up bad habits

    Where he ended up the angle was all wrong, think it was doomed from the beginning,
    another line a few more PSI out of the tyres who knows he may have made it.
    but thats hindsight and most have that in spades lol

    I was taught when I was a member of the RRCV (Rangie Club). Last time I did the course was about 4 or 5 years ago so maybe it's time for a refresher.....
