Found this video on youtube, this guy seems to know what hes talking about...
YouTube - 4X4 Tips
Too bad he drives a Ford Courier.

Also

When I was down the West coast (a month or so after Roothy and that were down there) , some locals (bogans) said the "4wd action crew are a bunch of pussies as they didn't do any of they harder tracks". And that roothy cooked a meal down there, (roast lamb i think.) it was only just cooked, once the camera was off they threw it away, so much for good cooking...

He is a knob. End of story. And I think we would get over that guy in the video pretty quickly as well. Unless he actually knows how to cook.

Around 7 minutes he is a ****....He is reversing back into soft sand and doesn't have the front wheels straight. Credibility = lost.

What, you want him to reverse up that dand hill behind him?

I thought it was a good vid, particularly those who are new to bbbbing.

Yeap, that was the joke.:wink:
I just found it funny to be told that the 4wd action crew took the easier tracks when they were recommended to take the hard ones, even when there always going on about the harder ones.

Having meet Roothy personally he is a pretty good bloke but most of it is put on for the camera. And of coarse they took the easy tracks. Would hate to damage all them relatively standard unprotected vehicles. And yeah as for his cooking the time I met him his wife done most of the cooking.

He seems like a good bloke,

Love the idea of using levelling chocks (if you can't find bread crates lol) - they would pack nicely and are cheap (compared to maxtrax etc)

Yep anyone who's been around bikes for any length of time knows Rooth as a pretty switched on guy who has a lot of insight into the ups and downs of life in general (he's been writing a column in Two Wheels for eons). The real Rooth is quite different to his 'Roothy' persona. Rooth and Groff are the two columns I always go straight to in a new TW.

I skip the cooking bits on the DVDs, that's the missus's job

I would rather watch roothy than any of the other knobs from that mag.
I think he has to put in on pretty thick as that's his job, he is just like any other tv presenter.
