Return to Power - Review

Im not taking away from any shops on the west... but the # of really nice rigs down south and the fact that it "seems" when nice ones get sold the come to the south to mean just seems like more badass **** rides around in the south and the southeast.

Plus I have never been anywere that I have seen ALOT of really nice rigs wheelin in the same spot outside of MMORV and or Grayrock. Ive seen plenty of well named nice rigs at say like Hot SPrings or Disney on big weekends but not the # of nice rigs you get around here.

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.

Well of course not, but I can promise you that if Tim actually wheeled his rig at the Hammers, than it would be built completely differently.. Apples to Oranges IMO.

if tim was wheelin the sky his rig would look like an airplane because you build the rig to the terrain. (If I'm unclear, ricky, Im agreeing with you

laughing)

I think there are bad ass rigs all across the land, even in shitty states like Maine and New England :flipoff1:

I prefer the west coast style rigs that are low and lightweight, but the big boys in the south are fun to watch to. Your review of the DVD is priceless Nolen!

John G style...

I would love to see Woodlee or Cole build a lightweight rig just once. I love thier attention to detail, but I would never want a 4000# plus rig again.

BamaTJ · Jan 28, 2008

I agree, I want Woodlee to build a comp rig for somebody!

This review was awesome. It's pretty hard to find a review where the reviewer doesn't claim everything is great. Hell, people are giving Lance kudos for walking around sema with a hangover. It just baffles me. Like I said on pirate, I'm about as interested in his 4x4 lifestyle as he would be in watching me all day at work in my cube writing in java and posting on here.

So Nolan, are there any videos that are good? I'd like music that doesn't scream at me (that's optional, I'm a married guy so I can cope

) and I like to see buggies fully getting it. If the motor isn't rocking the chassis had better be close to rolling.

So what's good?

^^ rowdy sessions is awesome...

only one really hard song....and it is not bad at all...

nolen....you post that review on pirate?????

wngrog · Feb 9, 2008

I did not post that on Pirate. I posted it here really as a rant against the redneck side of wheeling. It embarrassed me, yet I am not a paid reviewer and I am not interested in making enemies with those flat billers that filmed that garbage. They have to make a living...I would just hate to see this gang get hung out like I did.

Rowdy Sessions is my current favorite film, followed closely by BTG 1,2 and 3.5. I am in all 4 of those briefly so I guess you can say I am biased, but I really like the non-comp wheeling videos.

I dont care for the way the Haulin or Crawlin feature a few drivers over and over but they are pretty good.

I have Muchado's vids and they are good.....comp stuff and trail mixed. I like the XXRA one the best and I thing the next one will be off the hook with lots of Rock Bouncing. I am stoked for that one.

blacksheep10 · Feb 9, 2008

yup, 3 will be exponentially better than 2 and we won't talk about 1 laughing
I need the rowdy sessions I guess. all good buzz

vanguard · Feb 9, 2008

Ok, thanks everybody. I ordered Rowdy Session tonight.

Nolen, when is your rig supposed to be done?

You will not be disappointed. Nolen loaned me his copy the other week and it is one of the best videos I have seen.

Unless I am wrong, his rig is to be done around May. He will chime in for more specifics.

I ordered Rowdy Sessions a couple days ago, should have it soon! 8)

Maybe one day I'll get to order AMDF3. :

Fair enough.

Speeding · Feb 11, 2008

Just finished watching Rowdy Sessions. I could watch Tom Wayes wheel all day long. The rest of it was kinda eh. Saw a little clip of Nolen in there, he didn't seem to be hating on anything but I could be wrong. ;D

BamaTJ · Feb 11, 2008

I have it also, nice vid. DLux, Waynes and the Tfab rigs get it. I did see Nolen and he seemed full of hate in the video. Then again I could of mistaken his hate for being a *****! :flipoff1:
