Do they do Victory Rolls as well?

Jumq,

Go for 360 deg. next time and if your vehicle can,you will know the true identity of Skid Shooter,for he will be the driver :D

Jumy,

Best you host the video on another site such as Photobucket and then post a link to it here.

Using a small boards bandwidth for videos and too many pictures may be overburdening it a bit.

On high sand dunes, these Landcruisers can doa 45 degree climb and manage a descent upto 60 degrees. A descent of anything over this the vehicle will roll over, the thrsehold for Landcruisers is 67 degrees and that is the limit. At 60 deg descent too a very carweful and controlled drive has to be made in low transfer case gears. A 180 degree thing is for sure nothing but a 'skid roll'

Jumy,

Thanks for the video's.Lot's of skid shooting going on.This time with a video camera :lol: Seems like you were being thrown around in the vehicle.Might I suggest that the next time you film from the front seat.Also focus ahead and the video would come out much more stable.Does the camera have an image stabiliser?If yes,what sort of image stabiliser does it have.Do ensure that it's switched on.All in all a good effort considering the conditions in which it was shot.The sign of a good photographer is that he/she never stops the camera from rolling and never let's go of it.

Do remember an old photo taken by one of the son's of the Maharaja of Patiala of his brother's single seater plane crashing into the ground,taken at the point of impact.The pilot (the photographers brother) had his hands in the air and mouth open in anticipation of the impact.Since the phtographer could not do anything to stop the plane from crashing, he just kept on shooting.
