Anybody watching TopTruck Challenge?

You guys like the Announcer style setup of these videos?
I have been kicking around the idea of doing this for the Rock Rods series.

Re:

I don't mind an announcer just as long as they've actually done this kind of stuff(familiar with off roading)and don't use words like "Holy Diver" when they see a rig with a tire up on a 1-foot rock or something.

Basically I don't want the announcer trying to sell me some action that is not really that hard core.

Busted.... I know that Trip Pullin guy may be your friend ...but every time he starts talking in the videos I just turn the volume down or fast forward to where he's not talking. He reminds me of that spastic kid in high school or grade school that was overly excited about nothing like maybe a new pencil or pizza Fridays.

Dont worry he will not be the announcer lol. It will most likely be me and one other. We also have a few segments that have never been done before in the rock bouncing world that should be interesting to watch as well. Stay tuned.

Also does anyone watch TTC and think man Bobby Tanner would make these guys look silly?

Re:

I think there is a lot of undiscovered talent in the Rock bouncers community at the current moment Tim Cameron Bobby Tanner and a few others that I can't remember the name but I know they're buggy I think have a lot of untapped potential... just need more media exposure.

Matt you have a blank canvas so whatever you're wanting to do you'll be a pioneer in the field and will always be compared to when going forward so far what you've done I enjoy watching on the big screen or my breaks at work.

Re:

Oh...the guy in that Warfare buggy has caught my attention as of late.
....and also that guy in the Colorado truggy thing.

I remember watching one of those top truck challenge where Tim Cameron had that fat girl or whatever that orange buggy he had in it. I think that was the last year they allowed buggies in there and just started running truck based rigs from then on out.

I do like the first person play by play commentating. ..but to a point. Like tonybolton stated already it doesn't need to be about blowing smoke up someone's ass. Good informative commentating about the drivers, rigs, and hills/obsticals aimed at the correct target audience would be pretty cool I think.

That was the champion's cup and the guy borrowed Fat Girl for that event from whoever owns it now. It wasn't Timmie.

I appreciate that. I find the more I push myself outside of my comfort zone the better the results. I can't tell you much but I can tell you this, The sport of rock bouncing will blow up in 2016. Stay Tuned :dblthumb:

Re:

You could start a segment like Dave Chappell s "Ask a black dude", only let Batmobile Will have it so he can jus address the "Internet Hater of the Week". lol

You know what they say.... Haters make ya famous! 8)

That was Mike Karwath (Carwash) from northern KY..he won it in '10 and sold his car a couple weeks after getting home. He burrowed FatGirl for the champs cup from a competitor we meet in '10. I was part of crew and went on the trip..had a blast.

The new crop of bouncers are perfect for TTC...big HP and super stout , no-money spared drivetrains.

Well, Bobby weighs like 30,000 lbs less than these guys. Those .gov axles weigh about 1500 lbs a piece. But yeah, I do! :woot:

Iv followed top truck for years. Always loved it. Would love to see Bobby or tc or any big names in it. Favorite rig beside dibble's in it was always white knight. That was a bad sob :****: Would almost pay to see Bobby in it
