Yeah it probably takes longer to flip it than it does to make enough to buy a new one. Hell it almost burns enough gas in that clip to buy a new one.

Re: How do they do it?!?!

Guys let me tell you what is the trick to this. Dont think people are just crazy rich there and do this trust me i was born there and i live there. They have special tires which are really really light and slick and they are not sold outside the gulf not even the middle-east its only in the gulf states. Thats why with one hard turn the suv will sit on 2 tires and anybody could do it but your life is on risk if your not a pro. Check out this picture and look at the nissan's patrol's tires.

Thank you.....

Re: How do they do it?!?!

I tried doing that with my lifted FJ. I was surprised by its handling... So now for the past two weeks i have been doing it on every turn and my right sidewall is getting chewed like a motherf***er, i mean by chunks. I learned to do it on three wheels, for now. The problem is everytime i get someone to try and video it i see people around, so i cant really come back , pick him up and runaway I will post a video here soon.
What q08fj is talking about are the sand tires. They have more curvature rather than an edged sidewall.
