Can you change a tire quickly? It doesn't matter, because your skills fail to impress this crew of suicidal Saudi stunt drivers. No need for a jackstand when you have three friends, a long stretch of road and the ability to pilot a vehicle like one of the Duke boys.
While this stunt takes a lot of skill, and cojones far outweighing the curb weight of the vehicle involved, we checked the stupidity meter and it exploded in our hands. Click past the jump to see the most thrilling tire change you may ever witness.
Now this is where a mod would have stepped in and commented on your foul language Zubber, if you enjoy the freedom of self moderation on a public forum, I suggest you start to practice some self moderation before it is imposed on you.
you can of course still edit out the offending language if you feel it's the right thing to do.
I actually didn't click your link as currently the Ruba/Capsula (as the Land Cruiser FJ71's are know here) chal two wheel tyre changing vid is making its round on all 4x4 forums locally.
But those drifts you talk about are some serious nasty bussiness, most of these are kids as young as 10 or 13 doing these and more often than not end up plowing into the crowds, ramming normal road users, taking many with them if not killing themselves in the process
Slightly graphic video
This brings me on to another issue, there are some seriously insane videos on youtube from saudia also bit disturbing as what passes as funny there. I think the hardcase rules and regs the kids there have no "out" for all their pent up energy, aggression or whatever you would like to call it . No entertainment i.e like movies, no mixing of the sexes and then having the mutawa up your butt 24/7 also does not help and they take out on to the roads with this sort of rash behaviour and more than anyone would like, ends in tragedy.
Although the roads here are a mess but compared to Saudia its like heaven and thank god this sort of crap is not tolerated here. There use to be "gatherings" here on thursday nights at Warqa R/A close to midnight. The cops knew about it and basically let them be and usually did a pass by every now and then. But slowly the kids starting pushing the limits just to see how far they could take it.
They started by tauting the cop cars with their quads and if chased they would dissapear into the desert. Then it went to gunning the throttled covering the cop mobiles with dirt. But one day it went too far as they spilled some diesel on the R/A do some serious burnouts and doughnuts. But a regular flyby by a cop ended up in the car doing a 180 ! That was it.
All exits blocked and all cars confisticated, people who refused to hand over the keys to their patrols, skylines and supras, ended with having their number plates ripped out by the cops and that was that. No more thursday night burnouts.
Wow - some of the most unbelievable videos come out of Saudi. There is one I remember seeing where guys were skating on their slippers by hanging out of fast moving car. They seem to be willing to take any risk to make these videos.
I've seen that aswell and one of the videos I was talking about when I was saying its pretty disturbing as what passes as funny there ? God forbid if one of those morons lost grip or balance and fell for sure he would be runover by who ever was behind and most probably end up on chop chop square if he was an expat for murder.
Just because some moron thought it was cool to skate with his slippers !
The value of life there seems to be pretty low. I wonder how many guys have lost their lives trying to make videos like this. Anyway its their life and their risk....and my entertainment.
