This video starts off in Central Oklahoma at the farm of Brad Austin.

This section centers around Brad and his family in their huge Heeps and a couple of full size Chevy Truck "Buggy's"

LOTS of mutliple Rancho 5000's mounted at a 45* angle on the rear and leaf spring action on the front. Plenty of throttle-down action with quite a few rolls.

Brad's kid brother (who also looks like he just left a concentration camp) rolls 3-4 times on one hill and every time he spills his ****ing beer cans and cooler all over the place. They put it all back in the buggy thing, refusing to strap it down and he has a yard sale AGAIN

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Coolness of Rig's (Average) - 4 out of 10...up from 3 because Brad's rig has coilovers

Rig's Weigh (Average) - 4950#

Redneck Factor (this includes number of times beer is swilled on film, mullets, fat chicks, you get the picture) - 8.2

Best Moment - Austin's brother's girlfriend gets out of the Heep/Buggy and stands in front of the camera with a nice ass

The second section moves us further into the land of cotton as we roll into Summertown TN. Looks like they filmed it in the middle of summer, tons of tube and tank tops and a world of dust. The Suburban White Guys follow a wide variety of rigs around, most with "Cut Puds" on them and with a wide variety of vehicles. Most had rocks and rear steer, some fancy motors. Some clown with a HUGE MOFO of a cab truck that took "3 years to build" was interviewed and it made me proud to be from the south This was the best section if I were to say any of it was good. Lots of spilt coolers and beer guts. The overlay music was horrible as always. Lots of "flatbill" angry white boy california music with fat Charlie Daniels listening rednecks driving in the background.....

Coolness of Rigs - 5 out of 10 My favorite was the one Heep with "Cut Puds" on backwards with maybe 1/16th or tread left

Rig Weight (average) - 5800#

Redneck Factor - 9.1

Best Moment - when it ended

The final area of wheeling was a trip with my buddy Dan Dibble to Gay Rock. They hit a variety of trails with the usual Dibblesque gusto...lots of HP, shitty Super Swamper traction and mad use of rear steer. Plenty of high speed action...kinda old school stuff compared to what Cole and Timmy are up to these days. Just a lot of romping and stomping. Seemed a tiny bit wet since they were actually having problems on some of the trails.

Coolness of Rigs - 6 of 10.....Dan's rig would have possible pushed it higher, but the HUGE Dakota knocked it back down

Rig Weight (average) - 6200# I have never seen so many huge rigs. Huge. That Dakota musta weighed 7 grand.

Redneck Factor - 8.0 Not as much spilt beer/coolers/asses on this piece, but plenty to get you excited...come on!

Best Moment - Jackass in MONSTER Dakota with no cage makes it up Cable just to flop it at the top. The interview of him upside-down afterward made me remember how ****ing dirty and nasty that place is and reminded me never to go back when it is dry.

The best part of this film is the car crushing onthe extras at the Pirate 2 release party because a couple of strippers are in a H2 and they are hot.

I rate this film a 3 out of 10

If anyone would like a used-once-and-never-to-be-watched-again copy of Return to Power, please send $5 to cover shipping and handling to [email protected] you hurry, I will include a copy of Dan Dibbles Summertown New Years Eve video which is 10X better for an additional $1

:flipgotcha:
 
awesome, I was hoping it would suck. should help rob sell his brand if his third vid good. rob's first was very grass roots, "me and buddies wheeling". second was short on footage and stretched a bit, third has a ****load of action from everywhere. This attempt by SWG will hopefully not hurt sales on rob's vid by giving a bad impression of southern hardcore.
 
That is the problem. You have a bunch of California Flat Billers making a video of a bunch of beer swilling rednecks. Yes, it does give a bad name. A very bad name in my opinion, mainly because they followed around a bunch of junk for the most part.

Get some Woodlee and Cole built rigs in a throttle-down video and that will be much better.

I would hope Muchacho would tone down the BS that these guys thought was funny.

Hell, they were on a different planet....
 
lol. my thoughts exactly with 1st post. i bought one myself only to prolly not ever watch it again. Cant wait for robs vid to be on the market. loller.gif
 
thanks for the info .... what is robs newest movie i already have amdf and amdf2 havent seen cry is for babies yet just noticed it wasnt very long .is it out yet ?
there was a thread about a year ago that we were rating video's not sure where it is now
 
Dude just wait till you see the videos from this Weekend. OH MY GOD, Timmie straight up beat the hell out of his buggy. Broke another Double ended ram. Nothing like riding in 38degree weather with ice on some of the rocks and all over the ground
 
his new one was going to be dirty south, its now AMDF3. this time there's a WAY wider mix of stuff, a little comp footage, mostly just a mix of trail wheelin. I noticed with 4lo that although a pretty good movie, it followed the same 6 rigs around for the most part. looked like 80 hours of footage condensed. Robs next one will be everything from Cali to KOTHammers to ks stupidity to alabama hijinx to tennessee awesomeness. good mix and like 50 different rigs featured. I'm excited as ****. its funny to watch the progression of his vids. the first was, "hey, look at my buddies wheelin," to "I film at comps and there's some partying and private land/public trips" to a mix of everthing that encompasses our sport, from the throttle sick to the boulder fields.......although its mostly throttle
 
I just watched Carnage for the 'Con 02 and MAN how rigs have progressed in that short of time. Mostly boggers and SX's. I need to order Rob's DVD's dammit. I always forget to.

Rob! What's a nigga gots ta do to get a AMDF1 dunno
 
i cant wait to see amdf3 come out racing flicks are cool but i like to see regular people ride more .so far out of honkies ,4lo,and robs i like watching robs better got another one (have to find it ) was so boring i turned it off and put it somewhere was 4 friends doing the same **** thru most of the movie . if someone does something awsome put it in once maybe twice after it gets old

All ORC rams are PSC right? I think any ram would have broke yesterday, just wait until you see the video. Timmies rams are the same as POS rams, he just gets them from the machine shop who builds them instead of buying them from POS.
 
Ha ill buy it from ya just to see what that's all about haha... They told me they were gonna shoot a video in 3 trips... So I figured itd be crap.. Beer swiggin in my vids is kept 2 a min and I avoid showing actual swiggn and driving at all costs.whether or not someone had been drinkin isn't something I try 2 document unless its barbie jeepin
 
I'm on my phone and didn't see the posts about my vids, thanks for the compliments and the anticipation for the new vid is flattering ... Bones next time ur in kc remind me 2 bring amdf1.... The progression is crazy. Some big shits about to go down soon tho... Ryan and I have some new stuff up our sleeve...

THose ORC rams are custom built and they have a steel 3/8 wall housing. I was told that if you break one that it would be fixed for FREE! thumb.gif

He isn't breaking the housing, he is breaking the actual shaft!! He gets them fixed for Free also. He had it changed and ready to ride in less than an hour.
 
You know the cali boys deliberatly followed crap and didnt find the good stuff just to play the west east card. Id dare say per capita there isnt any thing out west close to how folks roll down here. pepper.gif

Doubt I am in KC anytime soon. Are you going to be in Bama in April for the first race? I'll get it eventually. I will get on your site and get the other ones you have available.

P, I agree. Just being down there once there is some serious fabbing down there along with a ton of cash being thrown down for some out of the box rigs that look unique and perform great. I did not see it as a bunch of 7K rigs bustin **** up and actin too stupid like Nolen's video.

I would not agree with that. Other than the Cole/Woodlee buggy's I have seen, I am less than impressed with what 'rolls' in the east. Additionally, I would not want to use a rig like Tim's with 126'' wheelbase on the tighter trails at the Hammers, Phoenix and Clayton.

Wanna see some nice western rigs? Look at what Tfab and FU2 are putting out right now. Those are both 80,000 to 100,000 dollar rigs.
