Hill climb video

This could have been really bad, what a sweet run! Is that a Ford Bronco on top of the hill?

Re: Hill climb video

Ohhh my goodness... I have never seen anything like that before.....

Not sure if I would be right under a vehical climbing like that... but seems many of those folks think it is safe.

Where are the hills like that? In the USA, Down-under, or is it Mexico?

Re: Hill climb video

Looks like The Widomaker which is about 50 miles South of SLC Utah... There have been some INCREDIBLE runs and crashes down there over the years...

I think they shut down the Widomaker (which is located across the highway from "Point of the Mountain" State Incarceration Facility) abotu 10 years ago or more... Maybe they still do it though.

Re: Hill climb video

That is the craziest run I have seen. A heck of a way to do a U turn, if I had not seen it....Nice video, kinda slow on sat over here.

Re: Hill climb video

Definitely not Moab.

I'd say Northern Africa or Middle East somewhere. The clothing people are wearing at the end of the video is a dead give away, not counting the fact that none of the vehicles are American (Nissan Patrol, SWB Monteros, etc.).

The vehicle that drops off the top is not an early Bronco.

Re: Hill climb video

The Real Widowmaker is NOT in Moab.... It's at the Point of the Mountain in the Salt Lake Valley about 350 miles north of Moab...

Re: Hill climb video

These are Saudi's. I was surfing on You Tube last night and they do some really stupid things with cars over there. Crazy out of control drifting on major road ways while other cars are on the road with spectators line up with parked cars on the side lines. Things offten go very bad. Also trying to drift SUV's I guess no one told them they are prone to tip over anyway? Hell maybe that is the challenge?
On this run if that driver had not had the presence of mind to mash the throttle when that truck rolled up right it could have been nasty at that angle. That was a damn good save! I saw this truck on several other vids blazing up and across dunes and oh yes flipping a few times. Do not know what he's got under the hood but it sounds pretty wound up.
