I'm just lost for words I'm affraid

gezz i hope thats no-one from ORE.....

so many levels of wrong

cringe factor is huge on that vid

Beer + trucks + river + meat heads = disgrace, for shame for shame!

Thats a decent blow for lossing access to places right there, I'm stunned

So many muppets in one spot,they should of had a cull.

those tossers have just set cantybury 4WDing advocacy back 50-100 years

they do it most years by the looks..........

maybe a group tag along for the next one.........

what a bunch of dickheads. feel for they guys that are trying keep access open then the authoritys see this shit and it wipes all the hard work they have done. GRRRRRR

Very sad. I guess when someone's truck tyre size is higher than their IQ, its not so surprising.

haha, when the fat one went into the water for a swim all I could here was squelling pigs and Banjo music

I just had to quote you on you tube.

Buts seriously, there are some whack jobs around. I bet most of those guys used to own skylines on cut springs etc too

If the multipie strops tied togeather at the 2minite mark had broken you could of had your cull

but there was so many of them and they do it every year, does that mean that they could possibly be allowed to do it?

doubtful,,,,,, poker run ,,,just be a few fark wits ...rest may well behave.....

These muppets dont deserve to drive trucks like these, what a dissapointment to see the trucks being treated like that.

I hope karma comes and gets them.

its been going on for a couple years now ,bit of a shambles but would love to tag along hang back watch from a safe distance
but not a good look for genuine 4wders

muppets !!!

But it is quite impressive how deep some of those trucks can actually get. hope they at least take the dead ones out not just dump them...

They're ruining it for us

Muppets indead!

I bet some of the stolen chch 4wd parts would go towards fixing there POS trucks up again.

Have done some investigating and this appears to be orgabised thru a group of mates. some people on this are members of a chch club nz4wda affiliated. i will be forwarding these details to the nzfwda pres for followup

Well done Jerry

not many people from canterbury commenting eh... maybe thats because we know this sort of stuff happens most weekends in local rivers? Yes they are a group of muppets and it wouldn't surprise me to see a death on a trip like that but on the upside at least they are in the river bed and not destroying the stock banks. These sorts of rivers flood all the time so i very much doubt that you would find much evidence of years of damage or anything.

Perhaps comments about what they are doing wrong would help 4wders with less experiance to understand what is acceptable and what is "muppet" behaviour.

IMHO crossing rivers with water over your bonnet is not out of the norm for canterbury 4wheeling.

every one to their own...
they not on the streets doing burnouts or chopping springs, looks like its keeping entry level 4wdin alive, not everyone can afford the flash gear or a reg / warant truck. They tested their trucks to the limit and looked like they had fun doing it. They werent on the stop bank, no public around to moan.
I bet a good few days went into prepping and repairing their beasts...
Theirs alot of different 4wdin outhere and looks like they werent hurting anyone and having a blast by the look...

every one to their own....

looks to me like th pc brigade had there say on this one but its no different than wat most of the guys on here most likley do every wkend and the same pc brigade commends them on there awsome acheivements

Didn't watch the whole vid, but did see the first few minutes. Apart from the deliberate drowning of trucks, the only differnace that these clowns have over a club run is the speed they were entering the waterways at and the overall disorganisation (having said that,I have been on club runs in years gone past with a similar amount of people and just as much mayhem).

Don't get me wrong here, I am not saying it was acceptable behaviour by any means, but apart from contamination in the water (which will happen irrespective of how fast you going), these clowns weren't doing all that much damage (except maybe to themselves). And as Dave quite rightly pointed out, these rivers flood frequently.

Flame away

I personally don't see much wrong with it. To tell you the truth I have done it myself in the Canterbury rivers. In Canterbury there are very few options for an afternoon play without going into the rivers

The braids of the rivers are changing often by the current so no damage is being done.

There is probably less damage done there than stirring up mud that gets washed off and into the rivers.

I say don't kill fun

Cheers Richard

Its the alcohol involved.
Its the perception they portray that this is what 4WDing is all about.

Their antics are dangerous and certainly should not reflect what 4WDings is about. Dangerous with people riding unrestrained in vehicles, hanging out windows and even riding on the roof. All fuelled by alcohol.
They are the same as the boy racers in their rice burners that car enthusuiasts used to complain about giving them a bad name. But hang on they are the same guys, now moving into four wheel drives giving 4WD's a bad rap.

Its not necessarily the deep water driving but the way they are going about it. Hitting water at speed looks good for videos & photos but its not best practise and some thing has to give eventually.

no beer on a 4wd trip? -- yea right
obviously not the way some people drive their 4wds but alot of people call that fun.....

Its called drinking and driving.
The alcohol should be left until the end of the day when driving is done.
