Some of them cant make it through the tuff ground training. Others cannot perform the skills well enough and you are disqualified from jumping because they are worried you might injure yourself. Most wash out after the first or second jump. They get scared. First jump you don't know whatr to expect so it's not too hard. After that you know what it is like. And some people just can't bring themselves to do it again.StraightEight said:Why do people wash out?

I've seen those rooftop tents, and always wondered about them. Are they convenient and comfortable? Seems like it would get you up into the breeze a bit more, if nothing else.StraightEight said:...which is here. A land of big skies and silence.The roof tent is made by Eezi-Awn of South Africa, whose motto is "We keep you out of the food chain." We've since moved it off this very nice Land Rover test vehicle and on to our own Mitsubishi Montero beater.
