OK people that take chain saws off roading are SERIOUS...
I do feel the urge to make a Ugo 4x4 after seeing the first video.
Those people are really Extreme but if you really understand mudding they also REALLY knew what they were doing. The skill level was way up there.
Notice how lame the Hummer "off road" course was. let me see them going where the others went.
My Gwagon got stuck just watching the videos

When you saw the vehicles apart in the beginning, you could see how light they made them. |

Handling winch wires with bare hands? Ouch!!! I love the Latvian techno music. That was some serious 4x4ing. |

| Off road north of the tree line....!
This slow forest driving is unknown here north of the tree line....
Competition offroading here is faster (no trees remember  ), deals with steep and loose slopes and the svamps and rivers are so deep that without hydroplaning you dont stand a chance.
There is a valid video link at the middle of the page:
http://www.4x4offroads.com/formula-off-road-2002-season.html
This is not my sport, and Im in no way connected to this webpage but it is worthwhile for all 4x4 drivers to speculate on the suspension and stability of those vehicles.... |

I thought that the hydro-planing was cool, but the rest was stupid.
Did you notice the Unimog at the top of the hill?

Unimogs...
Are nice tractors but a cruel form of transporting passangers. Very good for crossing fast and deep rivers and in conditions where you can reach solid and not to steep ground. Useless in snow unless it has a snowblower in front!
