    This is a textbook example of what to do during a rollover....LOL. In the youtube comments a couple wondered weather this was dumb luck or skill. It is skill. If you watch closely you'll notice how the driver steers into the rollover both times. At the rally schools I've been to we actually drive slowly on a pre-made dirt ramp and practice the technique....steering into and accelerating through the rollover.

    hahaha that is sick! When I was f-ing around in the dirt with my 04 z71 tahoe a few years back, I damn near rolled it when i was going sideways, I steered into it and ended up landing on the wheels but the front rear tire tore off the rim.

    Heres the best one in the states. I've researched them and been to two of them....including Team O'Neil three times!! If you have any questions about it let me know. Team O'Neil is in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. AWESOME school!
