hammer down

while fun to watch.... I'm sorry but I've gotta say that guy is an idiot. no helmet, no glasses, apparently no consideration for the other vehicles, either judging from all the rocks and debris he's throwing at them. Plus, he doesn't even seem to know how to handle it, bouncing way off the trails like that. And I really feel sorry for the rigs that don't have 40s with a big block chevy to power through the trails he just tore to pieces, those are mostly natural trails not man made competition obstables. Tread Lightly anybody? ok, I'm off my soap box.

thats just how the do it in the south. big motors, big axles and lots of go peddle.

rock bouncing is quickly becoming its on sport in the south. Tim Cameron is at the for front of revolutionizing this sport, and what he has done in the vehicles he has owned and built is amazing. I would recoment watching the evolution of Tim Cameron to get a little better idea of how this sport has come about. Also to give you an idea of the traction this sport has go to the Pirate4x4 homepage.

That reminds me of a RC car that is just way too fast for climbing. Its either running full on or nothing. Hell of a rig.

The only thing that impressed me about that was how the rig held up to that level of abuse. To each their own...

Cool rig. People who go to watch those things in person should expect debris flying. Also, the guy should have googles on.

Just goes to show that with a lot of horsepower and mashing the skinney pedal you dont need skill. To drive that is, now to build a rig that can stand that level abuse is awsome.

Guess you guys don't hang around pirate any. Buggy's are the big thing. Whats funny is watching this guy try that shit for 10 tries, then some mild jeep or yota comes and walks up it. To each his own but this type of wheeling attracts attention. These type buggy's make the Ultra 4 and KOH possible. The way that KOH has advanced the sport of wheeling has never been done before and I think its a good thing. I personally like his videos and I love buggy's. I think its good for the sport... Guess I'll step off my soap box now.

By the way its a LSX 454 Small Block and 42's... and he is on private land..

I was thinking the same thing. He controls that rear steer VERY well!

I think it looks fun.

Quote from Ross413

There are different types, or styles of buggys... This video is a "rock bouncer" it would last all of 1/4 of a KOH style race. It is rarely a "mild" jeep or other rig that comes up and walks it.... It is normally another skinned buggy or a VERY built rig. KOH has advanced high speed rock rigs greatly and there is some trickle down to trail rigs. As much as I agree or disagree with that type of wheeling, it is on private land, so do as the landowner pleases...

It is cool to see him thrash around and then the next rig up is a Jims chassis on stickys that just walks up with minimal wheel speed.

Thanks Ross

Not quite sure where i stated his buggy is a KOH rig. I said these style buggy's make KOH possible. A lot of engineering goes into a KOH rig and they use some of the same style and components that a "Rock Bouncer" uses because they are know to hold up under extreme stress. Also there are many videos of Tim trying something and then a Tj or yota on 37 goes thru at a much slower and deliberate pace. But Tims goal is to build a bad buggy he can thrash on and not break, and make it up the trail in the fastest time. He also has more money then the law allows so this is his enjoyment to absolutely go balls deep on a climb. more power too him, and again he gains attention and interest in the sport is all for the better.

Looks crazy. You wouldn't find me anywhere near that thing. I wonder how far and/or fast those rocks are flying.

Wow, that's a he!! of a show! I think it's great! I get the feeling Tim Cameron spends quite a bit of time on the trail.

amazing how parts dont just fly off that rig. wow !

OK I went on you-tube and watched some more videos of rock bouncers. I can see how this has become its own niche in the off road world. While it is fast paced and seems to be ripping up everything in site including trees there is a following. It is fun to watch and see what these rigs can and will do I don't like the fact that it shows (or portrays) reckless abandon for the trails / environment. I also have to correct my previous statement after looking at some of the videos it does require skill to control that type of rig from going completely out of control. While not my style of off roading I guess it needs to be recognized as its own thing. Just like monster trucks!
