Something I don't get
 

I will let you know ahead of time. I'm being brutally honest. So don't take offense.

I don't get all these people who are posting vids of their bashing. I understand the concept of making a bashing vid. I've made them myself, but I don't understand that concept of just showing yourself running around on the ground and not getting any big air. I don't understand the concept of showing every wreck you have. I've seen vids where people are jumping off those plastic skateboarding ramps from walmart and only landing once out of ten times, and then they act like its an awesome video. I guess my thoughts are. If you going to make a video, then make a video. Make something that looks like the xxx mains vids, or the slap ma fro vids. Go for some big jumps, and learn how to land them. Nobody wants to see a video of someone crashing 20 times in 3 minutes, or driving around setting up for a jump. The same with photos. Yes they are hard to get, but if you have a good person who will take shots for you over and over again, then do something that is impressive to all. Go the extra mile in your jumps. If you wreck and break, then thats part of the game. I love wrenching on my rc's. Its fun to me. The only time I would show a crash *atleast now days* in a vid. Is if it was a spectacular crash. Something where parts go flying, or it looks really good, then goes horribly wrong.

We have all seen the vid. where the guy jumps over the house. He landed it, yes his car broke, but it was a high risk jump, and the reward was great. Also he landed it. He didn't go in nose heavy.

Just a thought.</p>

So what happens is you want to see how a 086 pipe compairs to a 053 and 007. Wow that pipe works great in the air. Welcome to the 21st century where people post there entire life on the internet because they can. Wether you chose to spend your life watching them, that decision is yours. I would rather have a vast library of videos vs ONLY having the top 3 sickest monster truck jumps.

I am personally not a big fan of jumping videos. I dont jump my trucks much because it breaks too much stuff, and it will wear your truck out faster than anything else you can do with one. Like he said, you dont have to watch them if you dont want to, but im glad they are all there myself because they are a huge help when comparing engines, different r/c's, etc. Not everyone has the same taste in r/c's, videos, etc. Not everyone likes the same style of bashing either. </p>

I like to jump.  Wish I didn't though.  Just like Cummings said,  stuff breaks when you land wrong.

I like seeing how different r/cs handle as well as watching other people's driving style. It's also nice seeing that some r/cs are able to take multiple bad landings &amp; still keep going. You also have to remember that not everyone is a professional video editor nor do they have friends that are willing &amp; able to take pictures of their r/cs hours on end. I've asked my wife to take pics &amp; videos of my r/cs. She got so caught up in watching the r/c that she forgot she was holding the camera. On the plus side she got plenty of pictures &amp; video of my butt when I had to flip my r/c back onto it's wheels. lol <div>
</div><div>Even videos that most consider lame are still worth watching. I've seen plenty of threads where people begged for pics or videos &amp; ended up not getting them. Probably the only r/c video I wouldn't watch would be one of a battery charging. Even those can be entertaining at times though. </div>

Iknow my amigo went a bit crazy with the slo-mo, but he uses a crude program- but the jumping is funny..

RE: Something I don't get
 

yeah, I dont get it either.  MT's are made for jumping and bashing the H out of.....no ifs, ands, or buts.  period! 

;)

hey nitro, great video, only a savage would take that much of a beating. i'd like to see a t maxx do a dozen cartwheels an keep going. AWESOME!

Hey thanks barney, that vid was really just a snippet of what we did that day.. We had been out for the whole day and I guess I just had to put on a show for you guys... The truck is in its final rebuild stage now and should be running in the next 1 or 2 days.. I have left my street silent for too long!:D

RE: Something I don't get
 

I uploaded some crappy bashing vids because I just started, and I wanted to show my friends what my car looks like and how awesome it is! I didn't want to make the video private...so just don't watch my crappy bashing if you don't want to, it's like a couple of doughnuts in some dirt.
