Default RE: hate to be this guy

LMAO, I can't believe that any of you actually believe this, yes, it does start coming apart in midair, and it obviously did not break. I supersized a freeze frame in photoshop, and tried to enhance it and sharpen the blurry pic enough to tell, and the tvps were in perfect shape, so were the bulkheads they mount to, yet there was a strange absence of screws anywhere. I had a savage, and it will hold together to some amount with no screws because there are these plastic circular nibs that hold the plates straight with the bulkheads, so it will stay together if you were to drive it not very harshly. But the impact caused the plates to flex, then they popped off of the nibs so the rear end fell off. And, yes, it began to fall off right when it left the lip of the jump.

WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THIS VIDEO IS AN IDIOT, IT IS FAKE, AND STUPID.

anyways, I saw this video a long time ago, and just wanted to try to help straighten it out, the mounting of the tvp's to the bulkheads is one of the strongest parts on the savage. I have seen people who have rammed their savages into curbs at full speed, yet the tvp's are bent, but still all attatched and in tact. So, it is pretty much not possible for something like this to happen.

My 2 cents.
