Rough Trucks Knox County Ohio 2022

[@michaelmoore7975]

Somebody sold a lot of Jeep Cherokees in that county.

Lol happens every year ha. I sold an xj last year to a guy that ran there. Always a good show!

34:25 and 43:00 Both Chevy Blazer gens had the same roof caving up when landing problem. LOL! Awesome show!

[@scottinWV]

I wouldn't want to roll over in a S10 without a roll bar in it.

[@scottinWV]

Cold be the cab mounts are shot also.

[@marshmower]

These are for putting around. I don't know what that chassis was based on or if it was original but the frame didn't prevent taco mode. I am a fan of thin A pillars because of unhindered vision and smaller blind spot. But then again the crash testing never included hill jumps. These old things probably shouldn't drive over 55 because that was the interstate maximum throughout the 80's when the blueprints were laid out on the table.

[@silasmcgee3647]

​@@scottinWV whole thing was totally rusted out, not much was holdin her together

[@OttoTheWeim]

All I know is that we should all invest in pristine Jeep Cherokees because they are going to be rare as heck in the future. The numbers out there go down at least 50 across the country each weekend.

Great Coverage! nice and steady camerawork too! This is up there with Clark countys show! Keep up the good work!

[@MidnightMadness4x4]

I don’t know about steady camera work but I’m trying to improve it lol

[@5ShotProductions]

@@MidnightMadness4x4 I have to admit, steady isn‘t available in this video. Which camera do you use and more important, which tripod? I would buy a tripod with a fluid head, maybe SmallRig, because Sachtler and Manfrotto are a bit too pricey. But a good tripod is at least 50 percent of good camera work.

[@MidnightMadness4x4]

Something I grabbed from best buy that’s both a tripod and monopod. I was using the tripod at this event but found a way to get it better with the monopod at Lebanon And Carroll County.

[@5ShotProductions]

@@MidnightMadness4x4 Don‘t get me wrong, I only can tell you from my experience as a prof. Cameraman and video editor for over 18 years now, a „good“ tripod (or monopod) is so important. With a good tripod you can really achieve fluid motions, but if you‘re using a modern camera with stabilisation on a tripod, deactivate the stabilisation, because while using the camera on a tripod you don‘t need a stabiliser. I don‘t know which type of camera you use, but I guess a DSLR or DSLM. For these „smaller“ cameras you don‘t need a Manfrotto tripod worth 2.000 Euros, as I said I would buy a tripod from SmallRig, they produce really awesome camera tech. Kind regards from Germany, Philipp

[@52Quantum]

Just a shame it was filmed by someone a mile away sat on a horse.

[@karlgriggs8887]

Well now... from watching this video...I have seen a manufacturing defect with the little Chevy Trailblazers. The design mistake could actually kill or break someone neck as a result . Even if someone is wearing a helmet and involved in a head on collision. When the front bumper is hit, it bends the frame under the driver, then at the same time, it bends the roof into the driver passenger compartment, while the driver durning the impact is moving forward from inertia, is when the drivers head and the roof meet instantly...! This was an engineering design flaw for sure. When I wrote this I had see it happen to three timed so far...! Go back and watch it one of these driver's plays it off to the crowd but you can see he is not ok..!

[@FIREPHILSPENCER]

No, I personally launched my blazer harder than that and never bent a frame, either it’s the angle they hit or them being rust buckets that caused those.

[@MidnightMadness4x4]

Not sure to be honest but if it works it works.

[@mrt601]

Isn't that negative camber and yeah its intentional the theory behind it is in a hard turn on dirt the negative camber will give you more tire surface gripping the ground dirt late model guys have been doing this forever just sitting still you would think the suspension was broken without negative camber the vehicle would push and not get around a corner as fast as you would like it to some of these boys know there shit

[@mrt601]

@@garagekudos3953 are you taking about both tires pointing inwards at each other that's toe in camber is the appearance that the tires have to much weight on them and are slanted or bowed out but in motor sports where cornering is involved a tire will lay over and can be popped off the beed that's where negative camber comes into play its advantages to setup your chassis with negative camber the vehicle will get through the corners a hell of a lot faster and a wheel assembly that looks off will straighten up in the corner and apply more tire surface to the ground been around racing for a minute
