hey its my good buddy pete at 0:08 and 0:15

[pedekiller]

hell yes!! this is what i wanna do!!!

[pyrocoyote1]

what class buggy is jumping at 2:29?

[WickedGravityVideo]

Class 10, unlimited suspension, 2.0 or 1.6 liter engine -- can be very fast.

[toolwerkz]

Hummers need to get out of racing, they are slow and pathetic... enuf said.

[Flipoffproductions]

that monster truck is BA wish i could do this as a job.

[TOGGGAA1]

i hate the hummers in this video. An h2? you got to be joking

[WickedGravityVideo]

hate is an awfully strong word..... maybe you two can work things out.

FYI -- these are hardly stock hummers...

[TOGGGAA1]

Yea a of the market h2 would fall to peices trying to do this stuff haha

[exileintooblivion]

the hummers where in the stock heavy weight class. which means the body,engine,suspension,tire size and drivetrain need to be stock. the only items allowed to be modified are paint,interior, and lighting systems. all of the trucks in this class also must have a score legal safety cage

[Flipoffproductions]

i mean the baja monster energy truck

[pedekiller]

@WickedGravityVideo hummers still suck IMO

[retreteproductions]

those things are ugly and slow

[Oddjob2331]

who cares about what hummers weigh or how much they cost because they were originally designed for the military. Hummers were built for functionality, but now everyone has to have one to make a statement which is bullshit.

[toolwerkz]

Yeah and GM built hem with no armor for the troops protection during production, a joke then and still is today... Look at the Dr. Porsche's creation light years ahead of GM/Chevy, Dodge and Jeep. VW the original off road weapon of choice!!

[musewolfman]

LOL 1:12 Hummers are huge, heavy sacks of shit.

Other than that, this is an excellent video.

[monserenergy700r]

i totally agree no hummer will be a good offraoder. i have a 90 jeep on 31s thats done more than an h1 and its 145,000 dollars cheaper i got it fo 1,000

[Tomdabananaman]

Im seeing alot of trucks with really nasty suspension geometry. When the suspension is fully extended, the camber goes way out. You want a little bit of that, but not when its to the point that your tires are at a 45 degree angle when your about to land. I have seen too many crashes from that.

[monserenergy700r]

if you knew anything youd know that i-beamed trucks always go off camber when theyre mid-air

[Tomdabananaman]

You lose, Mr. Not-Engineer. If you design the suspension geometry correctly, you can get a desirable camber curve. Ask the CORR guys, or anyone remotely educated in engineering. Its a simple four-bar linkage.

I hope this doesn't blow your mind too much...

[monserenergy700r]

even if you try to get a desierable camber curve an i beam truck will have awful camber changes the only problem i saw was todd wyllies truck go to in on the jumps

[Tomdabananaman]

Once again, I will state it simply. Engineer it well, it will work well. If you think its going to have awful camber changes, there are plenty of things that can be done to remedy it.

[monserenergy700r]

put a wheel at the end of a pencil its the sme thing as an i beam truck you can t have a high travel truck with good camber

[Tomdabananaman]

Then a level of common sense must be applied. If you are going to go for such a large suspension travel, an I-beam setup is not the way to go. You can only go so far with an I-beam suspension. There is only so much travel you can get out of an I-beam suspension before you create a hazard. If you are going to do that class, stay reasonable, and stay safe. If you are going to go crazy on the suspension travel, go with a double wishbone suspension. Its racing common sense.

[monserenergy700r]

yea but thats wat alot of people did in this video

[degv15]

Excellent video!!! the best

[Chuckt1961]

Great video, I liked the VWs, to bad it didnt show Robby Gordon getting lapped, when the rock went threw the mopar trucks radiator.

[evanfischer04]

Great video!!!! It's nice to see the smaller classes!!!!

[rayald5]

aaaahhhh omg r u fuckin kidding me that waz bad ass WickedGravityVideo is bad ass

[insaneson78]

The video stops at 1:16 :( but good video anyways.

[alloyz25]

plays all the way through for me... And yes another awesome video!
