It was just a joke, I have never heard of anyone doing this.

I heard about it on the radio. I thought it burns going down, imagine going...up? These kids are the future of America! That truly scares me to the core!

You should be scared right now. All of the hippies from the 60's are in political positions today and are steering our country into the crapper. These are the same people who used to spit on soldiers returning from Vietnam.

Evidence of my weekend. Small jump at the end and another at 3:12 where you can see everything in my passenger seat float up into space. LOL (I'm wearing headsets cause they DRASTICALLY quiet up the vehicle and I also listen to tunes thru them.)


To load this video, I hit start upload last night when I went to bed and let it do it's thing. LOL, I'm sure it took hours!

65ish. When you watch the raw video it's much more clear and you can see the speedo pretty clear.

You can kinda read the speedo actually in this video though. The marked numbers are 20, 40, 60 (straight up), 80, etc... Speed is the large gauge in the center. I won't lie though, times the reading by 0.83 for real reading to compensate for gearing/tires.

At one point in the raw video I hit 110 on the speedo which puts me right at 90. Funny part is I've NEVER gone that fast on the street! LOL

That's actually what I'm planning to do next time. I want to mount it about midway up my front skidplate so it would be pretty low to the ground. I think it would show the terrain MUCH better. The first 2 clips of that video are on a very well maintained graded road with those large rollers. It's a rally road basically. The rest of it actually is somewhat rough, especially the last 2 clips. There's a lot of smooth but there's some big gotchya type things that would ruin my day running that speed in my jeep down those roads. My truck soaks it up pretty good. I'm actually not pushing the suspension hard at all on any of that either and could run faster. The catch though is the truck had to drive me and tow my trailer home so I was running a pace I was comfortable with not breaking it. Once I do my last suspension upgrade this summer I'll head back and see if I can get that average speed more up in to the 80ish range.

BTW, if anyone is curious below is the run we did. We needed ice for the coolers and it just seemed like the obvious solution! The first two clips are on the kind of squiggly line coming out of the mountains near center. The 3rd and 4th clip are the straight shot across the valley on the power line road. The 5th shot is the whole run from the power line to the highway about 2/3rds down the photo and the jump at the end is in that mountain section just north of searchlight.

That looks intense! Have you ever almost smacked into someone out there going that fast?
