Pretty impressive skills here.



Takeaway: steer towards the ground.

Was impressive but any offroad roll I could foresee for me, would be at such slow speed ,steering likely wont help.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

I've watched this just about every time I check "Off Road Discussion". This guy got real lucky for many things that day but I doubt he could ever do it again. Just amazing. :praise:
