  So, Ariel Atom hooked-up with BigFoot, went to a meth party and this is what we get:

  All I kept thinking is that they really should be wearing helmets. Cage is s00per close to their heads, and if it rolled... scary!

  Rallying; It's like skydiving, except you have to dodge trees on your way down!

  Guy off roads like I autocross. More throttle fixes everything.

  Edit: Although, the publisher says that it was filmed on private land, so I guess it doesn't matter.

  Im not sure i understand the lack of saftey equipment either. I have seen videos of that guy driving before, but never a helmet.

  Badass . I'd rather see it rip around a rally-x track or over some dunes, though.

  I'm going to go out on a limb here and call that guy a jackass. Cool rig and all but he's driving it like a fool and wreaking the trail for everyone else. Real good way to get trails closed.

  Never heard of "tread lightly", I take it.

  Well I understand his "more throttle" attitude - I don't think he can see where he's going from behind that huge engine!

  95% of the time more throttle is the answer, 5% it ends the suspense.

  He's not a very good driver. Everything in that vid reinforces the point that Big Mo (momentum) is your best friend, as in: get a running start. Then all the racket and tire spinning isn't needed. Cool rig, though.

  Most of those runs could have been done without a driver, just put a big rock on the throttle.

  I'm not a fan. The cage work is impressive but anybody can buy off-the shelf axles, suspension and cubic inches and hammer through anything. I've done lots of 'wheeling, I mean lots and have wheeled with guys like that. I'd rather finesse a more streetable Jeep through that same stuff and piss off the eco-weenies less and leave the trail for others to enjoy.
  Seems like his sidewalls act more as suspension than his springs do.

  You know you are deep in boost territory when you get tire pressures and boost pressures confused

  Cool rig. Driver - eh...

  Doesn't have the suspension articulation off-roaders like to see; but that's such a BFH it doesn't need it.

  I can tell by the way that dude drives that he is a total douche-canoe.

  Looks like its out of bigfoot. I like to stop in every once in a while to see what they've got going on.

  It's all fun and games to a bystander takes a chunk of shale to the melon. Helmets for the passenger? Hell what about the moron spectators. Those tires are shootin' lots of shrapnel in many directions.

  That thing just looks violent. But, what do I know. I went trailriding in a stock S10 and did ok.

  Plan A is always more effective when the device you are working on understands that Plan B involves either a large hammer or screwdriver....

  Going back over it when I'm awake I did notice that he has about zero axle travel in that thing.

  "Meh."

  Yeah, he's a terrible driver. The assumption seems to be that more power is always the answer, even if your own front wheel is torn off and wedged under your chassis. He's got no visibility at all, he just bounces off stuff and sometimes accidentally gets turned around and goes the other way. If he tried that in Moab, he'd be dead in a week after falling 1000' off Moab Rim into the river.

  Not a master of the throttle - the throttle is master of him.

  There are 2 sayings that come to mind:

  • Theres not a problem in this world that cant be solved by the equal application of engineering, throttle, and seat-of-your-pants luck.
    

  • Some people should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle

  This guy is somewhere near the intersection of those 2...How hes still on the warm side of the ground is beyond me.
