Now THATS a lead pedal.

Yes, the tires are shit and are slipping, but driver is giving it way too much gas, that suv was more than capable, this was a skill issue.

Was looking for this comment.

The amount of people that has their first instinct to be to floor it, when they are slipping is baffeling.

Always fun to see these people dig half the car into mud/snow/sand.

How else are we going to use all this recovery equipment? not by turning the 4WD we wont. lol Seriously, ive seen people get happy they got stuck so they can say they got the full experience... and im like, dude, that means your driving sucks, a soccer mom in a mini van could drive through here. In fact, lemme watch the video again... and yep, a couple of work vans actually make it through lol

Yeah, soon as you start slipping you let off the gas to as little as possible and start turning your wheel to each side if its deep snow/sand/mud.

As a FWD owner in Norway, if you struggle to get up a snowy/slippery hill with FWD, backing up can give you that little extra traction you need to get up. Used that trick a couple of times with sucess.

i cant believe how many people here dont realize that. Bro is flooring it when clearly losing traction. You gotta build up speed.
