This all new DVD takes you on some of the most
famous trails in America's most popular off roading destination:
Moab, Utah. Folks from around the country brought their Range
Rover Classics, Defenders, Discoverys (both Series 1 and
II) plus Series III 2.25 Lightweights, to spend three days
pitting their Land Rovers against Moab's challenging and
beautiful terrain. Ride along as they tackle slick rocks,
creek canyons, river fordings, sand, and steeply undulating
outcroppings. Like all good DVD's, this one has bonus features
including animated trail maps with GPS coordinates, and original
Land Rover themed music!
Bill Burke from 4 Wheeling America is their
guide: BP has sold both his 'Getting Unstuck' DVD and 'Getting
PREpared' DVD for some time now, and no one knows this
terrain better than he does. Watch as folks get hung up,
high centered, and cross axled, and Bill explains what they
did wrong and how to fix it. You'll learn a lot about off
roading techniques watching Bill and his well known Defender
90 lead the way. If you've been to Moab before, you'll recognize
'Metal Masher', odiferous 'Onion Creek', 'Rock Chucker' and
'Kane Creek', just to name a few. Finally, you can show your
friends where you've been and what you did. If not, once
you see them you'll want to try 'em yourself!
Hook up with a 4 Wheeling America tour and
you can live the adventure in person! These aren't monster
truck wannabe's or highly modified rigs, but sensibly outfitted
daily driven Land Rovers. You'd be surprised what a near
stock Discovery II can do, and of course the Series Land
Rover guys have to show off too. There are still things a
30 year old Land Rover can do that you'd never dare try with
a new one. These are day trips, not camp outs, so the lighting
and photography are clear and sharp.
High quality sound lets you hear it all
too: tires squealing on the rocks, gears crunching, and engines
revving, with approach and departure angles tested to the
limit. You'll hold onto your easy chair with both hands!
The vidcaps above are right off the DVD.

Getting Unstuck by Bill Burke (DVD)
 |
A video 'how to book' on off roading basics, tools
and gear you'll need and how to use 'em, plus common
scenarios worked through step by step. Up to your hubs
in loose sand? Bill shows the proper techniques with
a Hi-Lift jack, shovel, and Snatch Strap. This 2 hour
feature length program is searchable, so you can go
right to the technique you're interested in. Bill has
years of experience, and the emphasis is always on
safety: he walks you through the techniques just like
you were watching any other good 'do-it-yourself' show. |

clip from Getting Unstuck
(12 MB MPEG format) |
This is a great program for beginners, or
those of you that might have desert experience but no mud
time. The video features different models of trucks in different
parts of the US (guess he had to use J--ps to demonstrate
the 'stuck' part, but there are lots of Rovers as well).
The breadth of experience is invaluable,
and businesses hire 4 Wheeling America for the kind of professional
training you'll get in this video. Here's an example: see
how the guy working the jack is holding his left hand?
That's to prevent injury should the handle flip up: most
of us would be pushing on the jack rather than pulling, exposing
the back of the hand to a nasty thwack! Injuries 100 miles
away from the nearest hospital are not fun. Even if you've
been running trails for years, you'll learn things.

4WD? In this new, specially commissioned, one hour
program, they seek out the most extreme off-road
action in the UK and show you how the experts do
it. There's a fascinating visit to the Bowler factory
where some of the most powerful Land Rovers in the
world are created. There's loads of tips about prepping
a vehicle for an off-road rally and then hold on
for our onboard camera blast with the Bowler test
driver! We also spend an action-packed day at Eastnor
Castle - the home of Land Rover testing. Plus there's
a 4WD off-road challenge event over mixed terrain
in mid-Wales, a 4WD Safari event at Sweet Lamb and
a mixture of Greenlaning and Trials from the Isle
of Man 4WD club when we join them on their annual
150mile Mule event. Mud-plugging a plenty! Finally
we include a feature on the British Armed Forces
Land Rover Rally Team, following them on the grueling
Manx International Rally (Round 6 of BRC) with some
entertaining in-car footage. |
