Hey Sherwan,
Once again, great footage!

I found myself cheering and unable to sit still, as what we call "body english" came into play. If unclear, "body english" is the twisting and lean of ones body, attempting to have an impossible effect on the physical outcome of something else. Try as I might, I couldn't help you get up that sand hill.

But I sure tried.

"Body english" is often used in billiards and bowling, all with no effect on the outcome, but it's a natural physical response I think.

I know exactly what your talking about. If you've seen boys play video games you would know that the activity is not as lethargic as most claim it to be.

Hey Rainman,
I know where you are coming from. I wasn't very good at camping at all

The thing is, when i was 14, i went on a hunting trip with a cousin of mine, there i fell of a Toyota BJ40 at 30mph, landed on the left side, broke my arm in several places, and cracked the leg, so was forever banned from a outdoor trip. I actually favor my ride side, and can't properly articulate the leg, sometimes.

Sherwin, what fun! Great video! Everytime you tried to get up that hill I found myself bumping forward in my seat, trying to give you some Mo to help you get over, when you finally made it over my arms went up in Victory

Keep the fun coming our way!

Baios,
you have me confused with SarmadQ, i run a stock zenith carb, the only thing non-mutt is plugs and cables.
As for pulling it from the back, the tractor guy was scared his tractor might sink too, and it took us a while to figure what to do...

Nice outing.
I felt somehow that you were not giving it your full in the 1st hill attempt.

The side angle pull can be disastrous, thank God you didn't get rolled over.

The camera man was the only man standing high & dry

I was going to say only you could get stuck in 3 inches of water but then I saw how fast the tractor was sinking! That must be some really fine sand.
