It happened Sat on Lee's loss at the Safari Park. Nearly verticle hill climb about 1.25-1.5 jeep lengths long. Got the front tires over the top but the jeep decided to jump off instead of jumping over. Full back flip....first
thing to hit the ground was the front windsheild.
Cage didn't even feel it. ;D Remember....it started 12 feet off the ground and landed 12 feet away from the hill.
-
Looking good.....first time you flipped her right over?
-
hehe what a way to test something. good work man, glad you're around to tell the story.
-
Oh c'mon Eric, that was only a flop. I thought you would have posted something with at least 1 FULL rotation, GEEZ ::) ::)
However, Im glad that it held up for you
-
Since I was about 15 feet from where he landed (guy in the beige coat there), I can attest that was a hell of a hard landing to a big fall. The single tube at the top of the stinger crumpled up but the cage didn't flinch at all.
-
loving the look of that cage i would love to do that in mine...where did you get it done or did you do it yourself?
-
Eric (brink) built that himself.
-
Did Lee tell you what number you where to roll over. Last time I was up their I was the 65 th rollover. If you where 66, that means I must go back shortly to be 67, as it was the year I was born lol....
In short what I meant to say was "Awesome cage man looks awesome and works even better"....
-
Man are you going to be jealous.
Lee said he was #69!
Numbers 70 and 71 were the next day.
-
Wow, I'm really jealous, being 69 would be cool. Remember rolling over is not to be a compatition lol.

Where is the Safari Park?

Where is the Safari Park?
About a half hour east of Edmonton. There is a website to check things out too.

Here's the link to the Safari Park http://www.safarioffroadpark.ca/ (http://www.safarioffroadpark.ca/) Lee runs a class act there, lots of options in terms of how challenging a day you want - "green" trails right through routes he uses in his yearly "Tough Truck Challenge" that can kick the arse of rigs on 44s! Easy to spend a day there and still not experience everything the first time around...worth a trip if you're thinking about it! ;)

I thought you where saying, you herd a nose from underneath and wanted to inspect it, so that is why you rolled it over.
