Re: Crazy sand hill...

I remember seeing that a few years ago, it is from somewhere in the middle east IIRC. Wild ride for sure!

Re: Crazy sand hill...

Seen it before but it's still interesting to see how he manages to induce the roll going "up" hill.

Re: Crazy sand hill...

I don`t think he had anything to do with saving that.That`s pure luck.The only quick thinking would be done at the bottom of that hill when you decide how stupid it would be to try and not.I know I wouldn`t be stupid enough to be standing or parking down at the bottom even.

Re: Crazy sand hill...

Im pretty sure thats "olds hill" From pismo or something like that. And quick thinking is what saved him. If it weren't for the fact that he turned his front wheels down the hill and hit the gas right when he did, it would have rolled all the way down.
