  • sakmode, on 07/02/2008, -2/+29Holy sheer cliff face... what is that - a spider in vehicular form?
  • jollyholly, on 07/02/2008, -3/+52Did anyone else expect to see them just flip over and roll down the cliff? :)

    Doing that took some cojones..
  • DeskFlyer, on 07/02/2008, -5/+22Long lens and zoom compression tends to make something like a steep hill appear more steep than it actually is, but damn that was impressive.
    • oranos, on 07/04/2008, -1/+0You can get the exact sense of the slope if you look at the dust and how it settles downs. It is really steep.
  • MrMetal, on 07/03/2008, -9/+3That was awesome. Now if 99% of the people on the road could drive even 10% as well as this guy, we wouldn't have traffic jams.
  • db0255, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10How vertical was that vertical cliff face?
  • bosssmiley, on 07/03/2008, -0/+17A typical commute in Iceland.

    Saw those hill climbing brutes on "Top Gear". IIRC they're truck chassis w. balloon tyres and 500hp engines (upped to 900hp with NOX injection). The party piece of one driver was to drive across the surface of a lake. 0_0
  • gn0stik, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7Where'd he get the antigravity tires?
  • patricktu, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3holy ***** that was amazing
    • eggsovereasy, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2meh, I do it in GTA all the time.
  • diggB, on 07/03/2008, -0/+34Another seemingly impossible climb ...

    I personally think you'd have to rewrite the laws of physics for either of the two videos to make sense ...
    • Xtanto, on 07/03/2008, -3/+5Where is your God now!!!
      • gummih, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5In his garage, building some more of these anti-gravity cars.
    • wrestlingnrj, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1That is a video from the Middle East of a Land Cruiser with and LS1 corvette motor.
  • peppino, on 07/03/2008, -8/+1Hey Jerk! Stop eroding the earth away!
  • magneticdozer, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2thats good and all but i'd like some one to do that in a honda civic then i'd be impressed.
    • DeFex, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2All the useless spoilers and bodywork would fall off and the fart can would get caught on a rock.

      • nericus, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1You doubt the abilities of the flying car and the undentable front body panels?!
    • Bizarrkley, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2PROBABLY fake? c'mon now...
    • FUO213, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1yea theres no probablly in there. that ***** was awfull. waste of my time
  • DrPickle, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2The description on Youtube says "Law of physics were broken" in Polish.

  • trupti, on 07/03/2008, -2/+0Good one

  • serif69, on 07/03/2008, -4/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillclimbing

    "A very different kind of hillclimbing is done with offroad motorcycles going straight up extremely steep hills. The winner is the one which could climb the highest, or in the case more than one made it to the top, the fastest. This kind of motorsport, which requires skill as well as bravery, has a long tradition in the USA and has been popular in France and Austria since the 1980s. The Austrian event in Rachau focused on crowd entertainment, and inspired many similar events."
    • gummih, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_Off_Road#Form ...

      "Formula Off Road is a high powered version of off-road competition. Vehicles are highly modified or specially built using sand drag tires and long travel suspension components that allow jumps and rough handling and long axle articulation, highly tuned 8 cylinder (V8) engines with superchargers & nitrous oxide injection systems and a secure roll cage for the driver. High torque/high speed operation is needed for Formula Off Road tracks. Formula Off Road originated in Iceland and has since spread to the other Nordic countries. Competitions are often held in sand and gravel quarries where courses are laid out up near vertical pit faces. The vehicles utilize paddle-like tread of sand drag racing tires."
  • squink, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Great use of a Grav Lift.
  • Todesengelvr6, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Balls of steel!!

  • 4sakenaiden, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3wow...I was really waiting for that to go wrong as he came to the the top
  • angryfirelord, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Where's your gravity now?

    I am sure most of you expected or wanted to see this happen.

  • DeFex, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Its pretty steep, but telephoto lens makes it look really steep!
  • yosserhughes, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5That's because gravity is still only a theory.
  • Yamada, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3The description is in Polish and says "physics has been broken." Please don't tell me Poland has gained the power to break physics.
  • digitalbuzz, on 07/03/2008, -2/+1Where is your God now?
  • bman85, on 07/03/2008, -1/+1I'M THINKING THAT CLIFF MUST NOT HAVE BEEN AS STEEP AS IT LOOKED...
