    I'm so glad the guy with the camera called it like it was.. "What are you doing??" and "You are an idiot..." lol

    I love how he thinks the thing is about to flip so he jumps out.. on the LOWSIDE.

    But were you driving....Or Jas? hmmmmm. Sorry Jas, I'm just being an ass. If I had a sole-purpose trail rig I would be much more inclined to take riskier lines and wouldn't be too upset at a flop.

    Holy Shit! I almost don't want to watch anymore! I redeemed that woman a little though. Saw that vid a while ago and didn't realize you had to take that obstacle like that. From the camera's perspective it looks like there are other better ways to take that obstacle though.

    Damn! I just watched this video... Was she an actual driver or did they just throw her in the driver's seat and say go for it? There was no reason she should have rolled that thing:facepalm: At the start she didn't really seem like she wanted to listen to the spotter anyway... I'm also surprised that broke her back. Sure it was a rough ride but look fairly low speed, although maybe it broke when she landed that jump at the very end.
