Alright, I've seen a local farmer with a beat up old Max 2 rather easily climb over fallen trees. He does it slowly, and seems to cross them easily, but I can't master the same thing? He climbs them, the nose goes to the clouds and then pivots on the center, nose drops, tail end goes high and he just keeps going. I keep getting hung up on them with the Max IV, what gives? How do you do this little trick?

try try again paul, the farmer has had his hang ups too. two things you can keep in mind asuming your tires are allready at a low preshure you can roll over that trunk easy, just don't give up so easy get the frount up, let the center tire toutch now back up a little, and go forward a little harder than you would with the frount tires and if you do bounce off just keep on the throtle, you will bounce a little but this is what you want, it will grab when its bouncing and climb the trunk with the center tires and your there! i have it on my petes spring fling video, several people crosing a loge each dose it a little diferenly but each secesful crossing has the same carecteristecs, the center tire needs to be deflected too grab, after the frount is on top go faster and hold on! reduce throtle after center tire is on top! practice! practice bye my video ha ha ha
