Technical Rock Crawling - Johnson Valley 2024
When I was watching rock bouncers take the traditional route at Chocolate thunder here in Johnson Valley during KOH2024, I noticed 1 bouncer taking a more technical, unexplored route. Naturally I had to record them!

Rescuing a family stuck at Pismo Beach!!
Переглядів 16811 місяців тому
We started off our day at Pismo beach and immediately encountered a family stuck in a rented Honda Pioneer 1,000. After assessing the situation and being the good Samaritan I am, I decided to use my friend Jose's amazingly modified Jeep Gladiator to make quick work of recovering their pioneer. Remember, when in doubt (of getting stuck), you've got to go flat out!! Hammer down and keep the momen...

Enjoy this short yet awesome tour of the right side of Sand Harbor. Sand Harbor is truly a hidden gem at Lake Tahoe. You can find Sand Harbor Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park in Nevada (obviously) at the Northeast end of Lake Tahoe. This is one of my favorite places of all time. There is only 1 single downfall to this place, and that is the fact you have to take a shuttle in due to the popularity o...

Переглядів 3,4 тис.Рік тому
Working for Tesla has many perks. One of the perks was being able to take home a Rivian R1T for a few days. I took this opportunity to review it and give some of my opinions on the vehicle. Overall, the vehicle is stylish and uses high quality materials. Interior has nice accents and a lot of character. While the fit and finish of the entire build has room for improvement, this is to be expecte...

how much you rented it for? looking to go there next month! excited to go in one of those. do you need any license or anything like that in order to do rent/drive ?
I think it was $135 for an hour but i dont remember. And for rental requirement im not sure but a license is a bare minimum.
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Scratch-Resistant Windshield for your rzr xp1000 (if your car year is 2014-2018
Of course I fast forwarded the electric cars. EV is the death knell of motorsports. It matters not that they’re sometimes faster. They are boring.
I'm sorry Robert but I have to disagree with you about that. In fact, EVs are the evolution of motorsports. Combustion motors will always have a special place in all of our hearts, but unfortunately the KW/Kg of an electric motor cannot be matched by a combustion motors. Combustion motors resonate with our souls - literally with the resonant frequency of our cells. But I'll ask - have you ever driven a model S Plaid? Because it is the opposite of boring. Additionally, with 67% less powertrain components, electric powertrains are much more reliable than combustion, opening up more sustainable motorsports operations for individuals without a huge operating budget.
@@JonPowersDrives no heel and toe gear changes. No blipping on the downshift. No aural heaven. All computer controlled. Totally boring. Going fast(est) is certainly a motorsport goal. But when it’s meaningless, then that’s the end. The human machine interface is THE most important aspect of the spirit of racing . Remove that and you remove the passion. As someone who has road raced motorcycles at national level, I have the experience to make the point. Gear less go karts are the starting point for racing drivers. Not the end point. When formula E started. I watched it for nearly two laps (even that was a struggle). Then I turned it off. The goal of EV’s is autonomous operation. So watching unattended white goods will not be a priority or passion for people. I’m glad to have seen GroupB rally. Not the fastest, but the greatest rally era. The v12 and v10 formula 1. World Superbike from the start and through to the mid 2000’s was awesome. 500cc Grand Prix motorcycles. World Speedway. Motorcycle trials. Not one of the above will EVER be equaled by EV’s. Enjoy the downfall of Motorsport. 🏍💨😜😃

Do you use 4 front wheels or leave them as they are when going to 32s?
Is there anyway to get the turbo to spool and hear it? Blow off valve? What can you do with things to make them sweet?
You could do an air intake that is open to the environment but then you'd be at risk of water ingress. Best way to make them sweet is just put a through hull exhaust. they sound like racecars
I have opportunity to buy one with trailer for 3k but I don’t know anything about these models. What you guys think? I mean it’s a Honda. Can you do bigger turbo upgrades and boost gauges.
Mine is badass
Damn this thing looks like a blast!
Dude I'm on my university's Formula Student team and seeing this video was absolutely insane...next week we're doing a photoshoot with an older car around campus but we're transporting it by truck, and I was immediately reminded of this gem...what an absolutely memorable experience! Fun times looking back, I'm sure 😝 Beyond that, it's nice to know there's a fellow Helldiver amongst us...your most recent uploads are sick 😂. For freedom and managed democracy! Hahahaha hope life is treating you well!
Hahahaha thanks for the support my friend! 😁 We should play some time....we can chat FSAE while serving up liberty and combating tyranny.
your property is amazing- what a dream to live ;-)
Thanks so much!!!! :)
..so you like it more then the 1000 rzr ?!
The powertrain is more fun, but the Rzr1000 handles so good. I didnt drive this enough to be able to tell if I like it more or not.
Impressive how he keeps his head perfectly stable with the whole world shaking like that.
Thank you! That was me :)
I miss the combustion class :( they’re all electric now
I can’t believe more people aren’t watching this awesome project
Maybe more will begin watching! :)
I’m so excited the algo brought me here.
Thank you! :) Please give me a sub and leave comments so I can take your feedback into account.
That sound *A LOT* like a Dragster
Like this road *IS A DRAG STRIP*
Maybe because dragsters are straight-piped?
So if its now fixed ratio with sprocket & chain what speed is max at motor RPM & Tire size also what formula are you using or this is i have an idea watch this?
Don’t make the electric
Why not?
Cx4 was too ugly and the Vector was too expensive for just semi auto. I built a Foxtrot Mike 45 instead
Stuttgarts entry is the best <3
every uni is doing his Formula SEA meanwhile Stuttgart has a damn formula 1
Yea their car RIPS
admire from a Chinese FSAEer🤩
Thanks so much :)
What time did they arrive, if it was already full?
Go buy a littery ticket.. you deserve a win 🏆🏆🏆 Hopefully, if you or Jose need help in the future, someone as nice as y'all, will stop and help 🤗 I wonder if your ATV with a kinetic rope would have worked?? Thank you for sharing
Thank you Dr. Mark :D It was my pleasure helping them. It only took a few minutes and was a fun experience to start off the day. Jose has such a nicely modified Jeep, I'm confident it would've pulled out a vehicle 3x as heavy as this pioneer.
NYC just has the Mexico Hollywood filter on
Ah my favourite, sleek, black, menacing German Machinenpistole.
it was an awesome weapon to experience.
I need your number to order a straight pipe for a aquatrax f-12
I don't have a straight pipe! This is stock exhaust. Sounds good right?
why so much bouncing when the water is practically flat?
I was thinking the same thing
Hollywood thinks Mexico looks like that
I used to think so🤣😭Why is Mexico so yellow. how people live there
HK's worst product!
Why do you say that?
@@christophershannon8734 It Can't Replaced the MP5. did you know UMP Intend to replacing The MP5?? It's Failed.
I wish I could hear the sound of the machine when under load I know that's very hard to capture without a separate mic and editing software
It sounds pretty fantastic.
As a Formula student electric driver from China, I just want to say thank you for making this video, its awesome, its impressive and amazing to see so many talented drivers out there
You're very welcome :D Please subscribe and share this video!
Fuck i cant stop laughin this is beyond goofy… hell is this is so weird
Hahahaha These Little Tiny goofy Cars Look so ridiculous
🔥🔥
Bit late but the VX-C is only offered with the TR1 1049cc 3 cylinder, not 4. I have one in my 16 V1 Sport and the sound is a dead ringer for the 3 banger
Great intake sound
Thanks! I loved this car. I actually sold it though!
I just got a 2021 RZR 1000 xp and I'll never be ballsy enough to toss it in the air. You made it look easy and I kinda wanna see what your face looked like jumping it 🤣 I'm honestly scared of the sucker cause it can and will kill you if you dont respect it. Be careful and always wear that helmet. That was radical though do it again
Fun stuff!
The interior has more than “a little bit” more details and character compared to a Tesla. It is a bonafide quality interior.
How's the talon holding up after 3 years
I wish I knew! It isn't my Talon.
I just bought one and I’m equally as impressed !
Its amazing!

Front trunk is powered struts, charge port is opened by swiping on it not pushing on it like Tesla.
You may be a very knowledgeable guy but you really should brush up on your Rivian Termanology before doing a video about one. You missed the mark and so many points.
Thanks for your input. I put very minimal effort into this video as I was rushed on the amount of time I had access to the vehicle.
I have been searching for footage of an old FSAE car, I believe from University of Wisconsin in the early 2000s. It's engine was a hybrid 500cc V8 built from two 250cc 4cylinders, which turned over 20,000rpm. Does anyone have any footage of this car? It didn't perform very well. I was told it DNF'd on two events. I would love to hear the engine.
Send it over if you find it! I've been thinking of doing a pure sound 2 before all the cars become electric :)
@Chris Jones - awesome ! Any resources?
@Chris Jones - I remember it having a load of innovation, R&D. It didn't perform well, and was wrought with gremlins... but I loved the concepts. That was a huge undertaking for an SAE team to even have it run well enough to show up... much less, compete.
@Chris Jones - I don't doubt it. The engineering of that car, was far more than the sum of its parts.
Current mechanical engineering student at UW Madison (assuming that's the UW you're referring to). I'm on the baja team but have some friends on formula and can ask around to see if anyone knows anything. If it was here I'm sure they'll have footage somewhere. Do you have any more information on it or is that all you know?
You're right dude , the gear tunnel is very very cool . And as you point out if walking around it your gonna hop your knee off it . Really it's a tough trade off , it looks cool folder up , but folded down its sharp edges are a big downside , would be cool if it had somehow a rubber bead all the way around or something similar.
I loved the gear tunnel. You have to crawl through it to truly understand just how large it is :) Would be perfect for skis or snowboards. It would also be nice if they had an accessory to divide the space in half or into thirds so that when you put luggage that isn't super large in there, that it doesn't fly around when you take corners. I put my onewheel in there and it was rolling from side to side pretty badly.
It will be interesting to see what the CT actually prices out at when it comes out. Obviously the market doesn’t agree with your “is it worth the money” assessment as they are going for nearly double their retail price aftermarket. BTW, charge port can be open with a capacitive touch on the black bumper. Look for the 3 bars “hamburger” and simply touch them.
Yea, we will see the CT pricing. A ton of people want the Rivian, and right now all the individuals who are able to spend more are still picking them up as they're highly unique and relatively high quality for a new company. Their value proposition is really good now, but as more trucks enter the picture it'll decrease. I know the chargeport could be opened by capacitive touch, because I heard of people pressure washing their Rivians and the chargeport opening. However, I didn't know where to press :)
