February 14, 200521 yr Kinda piggyback from my other video thread. This is some of the same footage, but its Eric & Ken. http://www.usmb.net/movies/Eric-Ken-ReitersPit.wmv Its roughly 20megs. Use Windows Media Player and it oughta work. Ken & Austin's footage is next. -Brian
February 14, 200521 yr Author Yeah, dont know why but after uploading it twice via the gallery, it wont work. Im using FTP and its going on the USMB.net server as we speak. -Brian --EDIT-- Its fixed now... URL is: http://www.usmb.net/movies/Eric-Ken-ReitersPit.wmv
February 14, 200521 yr It took me over an hour to DL the last one, I'll be dipped if I'm going to try 20M Besides, I was there - done that Cant wait for this years runs
February 14, 200521 yr Are those cars auto or manual? They seem to have more trouble than they should on that video. Although we all know that video / photos never do the terrain justice and always looks like it's heaps easier than it really is. I've noticed doing trips in the past that auto subies ( ea81 at least ) have problems on stuff that seems effortless in a manual subie. Is that the same in your experience ?
February 14, 200521 yr They are manuals. The camera did lie. The exit from the creek is almost vertical. Coming out of the creek bed with very loose rocks was a bit tricky. Trust me when I say that these are very capable rigs. Most are running near stock drivetrains as well. Rob, I got 'em and you can come see them here.
February 14, 200521 yr that makes sense, cameras tend to do that ... nothing worse than doing something completely awesome, going home and watching the video which looks totally tame.
February 14, 200521 yr Author Most of this footage was taken with Austins Digital Camcorder. I believe he's behind the camera as well. -Brian
February 14, 200521 yr I've got a creek crossing at my place that reminds me a lot of that vid. The first time I took my old wagon across it I thought I was stuck for sure. Ended up have to turn the car around in the creek and back my way up the other side. Filled the tail pipe with about 6 inches of mud, but it made it through! I just picked up a new digital video cam, now I just need to put it to work.
February 14, 200521 yr You should bring your Hatch up to the get together for Jared(see meet and greet) on the 26th.
February 28, 200521 yr That creek looked plenty nasty. I was pretty impressed they could get out over the other side. I'll bet a full-sized pickup would not have fared as well.
February 28, 200521 yr If it makes me feel any better, I was the only one running an open rear diff that day.
February 28, 200521 yr Author Actually Eric I had an open rear diff as well. What a blast I had. Wont get to do any wheeling like that for a very long time, not unless I travel up to Washington again. -Brian
February 28, 200521 yr nice vid... makes me wish i was not running a street only suby ... might change eventually.. but then again i would never have the time to go offorad much i think oh well
February 28, 200521 yr Actually Eric I had an open rear diff as well. What a blast I had. Wont get to do any wheeling like that for a very long time, not unless I travel up to Washington again. -Brian Whoops, I stand corrected. We thought that was wheeling till we found the "Wall" trail. Made most of the Rubicon seem tame. hehe. That would be the trail that busted my welded diff. lol
February 28, 200521 yr Great Video, Musta been incredibly slippery, Any damage by anyone? Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
