This is sick!!!

Nooooope!
Absolutely
Looks Amazing...for sure.
Gotta try everything at least once if given the opportunity. Where is that? I know Chile has some giant dunes like that.
Hell yeah I'd do it - if the terrain was stable. Just put it in neutral and let it roll. Don't touch the brakes until you're at the bottom. That place looks like a landslide waiting to happen though. I think I'd be more nervous driving across that ledge than actually rolling down the slope...
Do you know how far down it is? And what's the vehicle? I bet it's got a longer wheelbase than a VX!!!
I believe the steepness is exagerated...
...the pic iappears to be framed/rotated approx 20 degrees clockwise.
But hell ya..i'd give it a whirl!:_steering
jo
YES :driver: :dan_ban: :dance:
jdm - I'd do it in a heartbeat ... in YOUR VX.:)
Clearly. Judging from the approach at the top of the dune compared to the chopper. No doubt.Quote:

I think this is the Dakar rally in South America right? Somebody (Triathlete maybe?) was following the race pretty closely and might know...
I think that pic was in the Dakar Rally thread, it looks familiar.
Here it is, click the link, it's #12 I think..http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...44&postcount=1
