Crazy Ford Escape video...

This is pretty cool... not sure why the guy needed to take more than 6 minutes, but that's OK.

Best part is probably the descent.

It's in Taiwan. He said 60 deg. ascent. The descent was 70 deg. Announcer said the driver can't see the rails so he had to go by feel of the metal railing and that's why it's so slow.

Re: Crazy Ford Escape video...

Boy I would love to have something like that except even more radical to take to meet and greets.

A lot better than RTI ramps. lol

Re: Crazy Ford Escape video...

I got butterflies just watching the video and imagining driving over that obstacle... Give me a trail or rocks any day! I guess it's the open air beneath that kinda freaks me out.

Re: Crazy Ford Escape video...

Gave it some gas on the descent so the ass didn't fly over first. Ahh, Memories

So he could "feel" that he was centered?

I don't know about that.

Cosmik debris.

Although it is pretty cool.
