I was thinking that Clive, dont think he ever got into reverse. As landrovers do not have monocoque bodyshells they are not good at being dropped on their flimsy roofs. I would rather roll in a syncro any day of the week.

Lack of diff lock would appear to be the culprit.

Think it's real.. Maybe a couple of degree fudge. On descent near bottom there is a mountain biker standing on bike looking up. Slight lean out, but looking up would be putting weight on left foot.. so very close if not accurate camera angle. Would be interested in what tread pattern/compound is too. A soft traction compound I suspect. :wink:

Here's a dirt hill climb video... look how steep it is... and recovery:

It's a real landrover. It's a real hill.
However the camera angle is adding 20+ degrees to the apparent steepness of the hill - in the "vertical" decent where the vehicle weight is held on the front wheels it would fall off.....gravity is real.....photo's lie...

PS, anyone who's convinced its genuine - I have an interesting business opportunity for you, just send me a cheque for £500 and I'll get right back to you :lol:
