There was a youtuber who had an old bulldozer in a farm and someone suggested he rolled it up and down a steep hill he had on his land. He did so but he made the mistake of leaving it in gear while rolling down with the clutch in and once he made it at the bottom he realized that the clutch had exploded. The bulldozer must have never reached a speed higher than 10 mph while going downhill but thanks to the insane gear ratio it still spun the clutch disk so fast that it tore itself apart with the centrifugal forces.

I just thought it was an interesting story telling how not made to go fast these things are.

Just add nitrous. I saw it in a movie once.

That is going to hurt when it cases down on the flat.

You don't even get pneumatic tyres. Or even solid rubber tyres would do something.

I jump my mountain bike over dirt jumps. His problem is going to be the lack of landing. Hucking to flat is how you damage your rig.

I see no other problems with this setup.

This is why you don't play Free Bird on the DeWalt stereo.

I’m sure that’s photoshopped (or AI, whatever), but if it weren’t, gawdamn it’s gonna hurt and break shit on landing.

Since photoshop comes with AI, we can just say photoshopped to cover both!

This is a weirdly perfect photo considering the genre of subject matter.
