@keystrucker Thanks mate. You can see more of this road and pics of trucks on it from the railway track on other side in my video Manawatu gorge track and tunnel walk which is held once a year. The train crash - landslide pic on homepage was taken from the first part of this road.
I am wondering how you you had the camera set up? It is very smooth, you must have some sort of semi-permanent mount. Also you uploaded in 720p, do you have trouble like I do uploading in 1080 ? Also what was that white stuff on the ground at the end? jk :)
@gm16v149 In cab always mounted on a tripod which is strapped down to seat mounts. Camera only goes to 1280 x 720. Have you tried advanced upload option for bigger files, took me awhile to find that one, good if connection is interrupted.
@R580NZ Mine is a JVC Everio HD10 with 1080 res, some vids I have uploaded in 1080 mpeg-4 but it takes several attempts, so now I only upload in 720p. Y/Tube doesn't seem to like mpeg-4 so now I convert my files to wmv / HD.
Pretty spectacular country you got over there BTW...
@kynox2 Thank you. When i have the time, have a lot of south island footage from holiday to go thru, fiordland tours, west coast glaciers etc. Maybe some truck slideshows in awhile.
Excellent vid!! Man, New Zealand is insanely gorgeous!! Beautiful country! Looks like snow at the end of the vid, how high in elevation were you? Those wind shield wiper would drive me crazy pretty quick.
What engine and transmission?? Im guessing a Scania V8.
@Xx69roadrunnerxX 16 litre Scania R580 v8. The snow scenes are from central north island near ohakune and waiouru, more from the same night can be seen in my ice road trucking nz style video.
@fabiobusscar . No it is in North Island near the city of Palmerston North. At the time of video the gorge river level is very high after heavy rain. Filmed last year near end of winter.
@fabiobusscar That is OK. Your doing better than many other people. Over next couple months is hope to add some scenery vids and slideshows of south island. Comments always welcome :)
@fabiano1041 It does often have small slips and rockfall onto road and in the video you will see repairs where the larger slips have happened. It is a major highway so much time and effort is spent keeping it open. About ten days ago there was a very large slip on the other side where the railway line is which is quite rare. The train only had 8 milk tanker wagons on but still couldnt stop. If you search internet news for train crash slip manawatu gorge you will see some interesting photos.
@ R580NZ hi friend thanks for your explanation was very helpful
I personally found this very interesting route, very steep curves and with his truck and walk very slowly, but I liked to look on the net to see more photos and videos Brazilian hugs and greetings
