3rd party Videos What happened here?

I was watching this vid when I noticed a grenadier in it at the 7:32 mark. Perhaps inexperience? Tires? Looks like he stalls out? I’m curious on thoughts.

Looks can be deceiving at that distance, but the sidewalls look like Bridgestones... Either way, I would imagine that bump they hit killed all their momentum, mixed with being up to the frame in mud = no traction. I'm assuming no diff locks given that I don't think I saw a hand go up to the ceiling (and it is either a base SW or a Utility wagon given the full rack and no raised air intake).

Thanks! Going there now.

Hard to tell. High or low gear? Took the foot off when it slowed? Tyres turned to slicks? Driver inexperienced.
Or a bit of all of the above.

He went to accelerate and hit the FOOTREST instead!!!

Of course - that must be it.

I suppose it has to have some negative consequences given all the bombastic attention it has been given.

That mud/water really isnt that deep.

Epic fail comes to mind, it stops dead, and steam comes out from the hood, and I saw that it was in about 9 inches of water/mud - thought: WTF!?
But I still want mine badly!

Driver inexperienced.

Or rather driver gaining experience, for which I

The inexperienced drivers are those that went home without trying it.

Especially with a new vehicle ~ none of us are experienced driving it. Best way to learn is to get it stuck.

Agreed, but these days I prefer to avoid mud. Takes too long to clean up afterwards.

With the tires I believe to see I wouldn't even have thought about trying it.

He looks like he has gone in there on a set of racing slicks! There is no mud tread there at all, don't know if he had diff locks on too

Probably would've floated across without the roof rack on.

I went to this event in my Gren but gave the mud pit a miss due to tyres. I’ve got all road bridgestones on and although they coped with everything else, they we not fit to get us through the pit..

Im not ragging on ya, im just making an observation.
Im not sure I would mud with those tires either.

Thankfully the Freelander/LR2 did not make it.
