  1. Here is the video! I saw the razor back coming, and didn't think we were gonna make it. I knew Terry was trying to turn, but i thought he gave up and was going to follow the razor back... WRONG. The back tire slid out, over the razor back catching the witches eye on the other side. This was enought to put the car on the side, then to the roof, then back down to the passenger side. somehow we ended up facing 180* from the direction we were going. The feeling was weird. i felt the back tire going over the razorback, and BANG it went a little slow motion in the car. I was on the Roof for a minute where i think it spun to face the other direction. All i really saw was sand, and more sand. i couldn't believe what just happened, CRAZY! Terry was dangling by the seat belt above me and we did the "are you good, yeah, You, Yeah, ok GET OUT" Since the Passenger side was in the sand i was a little buried with my right shoulder and pressed against the seat. nothing hurt and i had an arm protector thing on to keep my right arm in. Getting out wasn't too bad, just had to go through the driver's window. We had a crowd gathering pretty quick, including some fellow DDR folks, Thanks for helping. The car had a ways to drop down the dune to get back on it's wheels, but pushing it was pretty easy. Looked at the damage and the Roof was caved in, the rear air deflector (i guess) was munched, and the passenger side panel had a dent. Overall not bad. The car fired right back up, just smoked a little. All tires still had air, suspension, and frame all good. Drove the car back to camp. Terry drove it again on Saturday, but i stuck to my raptor.
