I have a feeling video just doesn't do justice to how steep that hill was. Great work getting it back on it's wheels. Glad it was caught on camera and had a happy ending.

Wow, did you see where the driver had his left hand when it first tipped forward? That could have been NASTY.

Looks like no harm done. Blame it on the Edelbrock carb?
Those big boys can sure move when there is an emergency.

Yeah, the constant stalling reminds me of the Edelbrock carb I used to have. Couple that with gearing that's not low enough, and to give it enough throttle to keep it from stalling you tend to go too fast. You can see the constant surging forward and stopping as he tries to balance keeping it from stalling and going to fast.

His friends were great in getting it back on all four tires!

You can tell how steep the hill is when one of the guys couldn't stop sliding down the hill until the tre stopped him. The video, does not seem to do the hill justice.. whew. that was close. :)

I don't know everything but I was thinking if he let off the brakes and pushed the clutch that it would have fell back to the ground on its own.:cool:

You know that one is steep when none of these boys can even WALK on it. Wow, that bumper has some features this guy wasn't even aware of when he bought it!

I had a similar experience about 12 years ago. My outcome went the other way though. Glad everthing worked out and no one was hurt. That will get your blood pumping.
