Bored? The Funlands video is UP!!!!

[Psychobilly]

Boy, I hit a soft spot and thats swell cuz it was my intentions. And yes, I can in fact pay cash for an h2 but I'd rather take a ice pick in the eye. Sorry, just not my speed.

You did a great job handling your truck on the various obstacles at the funlands and don't listen to the negative comments that are coming from individuals who have never been to the Funlands. I extend an open invitation to anyone who would like to bring their H2 to the funlands and prove any conceived illusions they may have.
I guarantee you won't perform much better.
Yes, Charles could definitely use a little more clearance and some better aggressive tires, however, again, he performed well and earned the respect of each and every H1 driver that was there.

<FONT color=#0000ff>"THE FUNLANDS</FONT><FONT color=#0000ff>"</FONT> is a great and very REAL offroad hummer video, it's not Hollywood fluff! There was no safety net for these guys... 4 H1's, 1 H2, and a Jeep take it on the chin!</P>


<FONT color=#0000ff>"THE FUNLANDS"</FONT> is volume2 of our "ONE PERCENTER" series of videos for the hard core Hummer H1 enthusiast! This a lot offootage... Lots of rock grinding here, and a lot of darn scarey sideways sliding over frozen mud!</P>


<U>If you want to see it ALL... this is your video.</U> We cut down 2 days of footage to make this video...the editing makes ittighter and faster flowing than <FONT color=#0000ff>"STEEL ON STONE"</FONT></P>


About <FONT color=#0000ff>"THE FUNLANDS"...THE FUNLANDS</FONT><FONT color=#000000>are one of the hidden, exclusive, private off road playgroundsyou hear about in whispers and rumors.

That information has been edited out!!)</FONT></P>


<FONT color=#000000><FONT color=#0000ff>THE FUNLANDS</FONT>are a harecoreH1 playground. Everything there reflects it: the swimming hole ruts, the 5 foot boulders, the 70 degree hill climbs, and the list goes on. To venture in with anything less than an H1 is a little bit nuts. </FONT></P>

This video was shot in high-resolution digital video with stereo sound. You hear the mud splatter, the frames groan, see the tire smoke, the rock shatter, the chainsaw roar, and the trees fall!</P>

I have to offer some insight to all this. First off we'll look at this tree thing. Anywhere there is a road, trail, house, mall or porno shop where trees can grow...trees have been removed to make it. The Funland is a very young and very private off road park. The trails are all pretty new to wheelin use, some are old logging roads but are still grown in a good bit. If you guys watch the video you will see that the H2 had to remove trees to get through in places too. I personally am not fond of doing so but I just make sure no potential lumber grade trees are ever removed, that is a rule. We dont even scrape the bark off of a potential lumber grade or otherwise healthy tree. You must avoid these trees and if you even get near them you are hooking up a winch cable. The funland is actually more of a private hardcore rock crawling park, the majority of the trails were built for smaller jeep like trail buggy's, so for the hummers to run...H1's or H2's, there had to be some trees removed. I started clearing wider and straighter...easier (go ahead bash me...I can take it) trails for the hummers about a year ago when George (who usually runs his Mog over the rocks there) expressed interest in having some of you guys out for a ride. So some trees died, had the funland stayed open only to jeep like vehicles more trees would be alive but trees are cut for worse reasons every single day if you ask my opinion on the matter. You guys need to come to even terms on that one because h1 or h2 it dont matter, either or is not as friendly to the forest as a smaller-lighter vehicle. The video didnt do a good representation however just because of the tree huggers be damned part of it. We are actually very enviro-conscious at the funland, we only cross the streams at 90* angles, we have dug diversion ditches to prevent run off and errosion, anyone wheeling there has me or someone I or the land owners personally select guiding them to ensure the proper trails, and only the proper trails are run and run in a proper manor, making sure everyone stays on the property, there is no littering or otherwise malicious behavior. That is why the funland is by invite only, we keep it very policed and controled and its environment respected to prevent any problems, even though it is private.

Now for the H1-H2 debate. No stock vehicle does well in the funland. The H2 actually did ok for as big and low as it is, so I thought, performing how I assumed it would. It could of been beat on a little harder yes.... but shipbldr didnt baby it by any means either. He had expert level guides helping with lines and giving pointers, not one of you would of faired any better without taking more damage or moding your hummer. No one vehicle is going to do better everywhere but with funland like terrain the H1 will almost always manhandle the h2 and that is the final word on it. Slap a solid front axle in that h2 and some clearance then its a different story. Ultimatly though the funland is more of a small and highly modified vehicle type terrain, its really not best suited for any hummer so when someone has one in there they take a beatin and the machines are definatly pushed to the limits.

Oh yea, we also do not allow rock stacking or moving rocks under any circumstances at the funland. If you run those trails, you earned it, you didnt pave it. Our trails, even the easiest of them are far more challenging than what that video lets you believe.

This is an idea of what kind of trails make up the core of the funland. We have the hard trails, some of the most challenging stuff you can find anywhere if you guys wanna say an h2 has run a hard one, I'll set up the ride for you. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Man, you guys are ghey. I don't care if you run your rock buggy up to the top of a 2000 year old cypress just to break it over, just don't put it on video to share with the world. And certainly don't try to justify by saying you are "blazing" a trail. Private land or not. It's simply not responsible.

It is the stupid ****s in crap built rigs that get off-trail just to prove that they can climb a little ledge or run over a damn tree that is causing public trails across the U.S. to get closed.

As far as your debate on vehicles, it makes about as much sense as windshield wipers on a goat's ass. I could show you pictures of a ****ing lake and tell you to try and get your little buggy across it...... get it. Understand scale. A piece of crap rock buggy is built for one purpose, albeit a fun purpose. We wheel our H2s where they are capable of going and would no more put them on a UROC course as we would try to cross a lake.

Same thing with H1s, except you can go buy a 10 year old beater and beat the crap out of it. Guess what? The oldest H2 is a little over 3 years old and very few people take their 3 year old vehicles out on trails knowing that carnage is going to happen. We try the hardest trails we can where we can make it through without breaking. Only wannabes would expect anything different.

The debate has been that H2s can't keep up with H1s and simply have shown that they can given the same level of comfort in the carnage area. I don't understand why it is such a problem to swallow. AM General worked with GM to come up with a design for the H2 to make it a capable vehicle and GM designed the interior to make it a comfortable vehicle. The H2 is made by AM General at the same location as the H1. It really shouldn't be that big of a stretch.

And lastly, to show how utterly incoherrant you are on the whole issue of vehicle dynamics. You state that the H2 would fair better with a SFA but state that the H1 will manhandle the H2 with it's 4 corner IS and very, very poor articulation. Sorry, but you're not allowed to have your cake and eat it too.

Their just rookies who cant get any ass and feed on the fantasy they are badass there Hotpursuit. Our only hope (since you cant argue with an idiot)is that they have enough pride to accept the challenge from the rodeo on 31's and quit making excusses. I tried to reason with them but they cant communicate on that level as you can clearly see.

[Psychobilly]

HAHAHA! that was a good one, gotta give ya that. Fact of the matter is if i hated hummers I wouldnt have them out at the funland now would I??? I have nothing against hummer or the h2 (problem is with know it all rookies) I just personally wouldnt take an h2 over a subaru for trail use, thats my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I'm considering an h3 though, maybe looking for one that was already beat on, maybe theft recovery or something that I can cut up, add some tube, slap a solid axle under it and make a street legal wheeler out of it. I think the h3 has some favorable charactoristics for trail use and looks cool too.
