So yeah, you're right in alot of ways and good point. But I hardly think this is an incident isolated to SA that only SA folk can under stand. That's like saying that only people in the NW can ever really know what it's like to go wheeling in the rain and mud... That's clearly NOT the case, but I think these folks got enough feeback that I'd be guessing that they won't be doing it again.
Like I said, IMO the stupidest thing they did was to PUT IT ON THE INTERNET... I'm guessing that equaly as stupid of things get done nearly EVERYWHERE on a daily basis... Fortunatly for humanity it's not ALL on You-tube
Well, hope even a BIT of that made sence eh
Cheers

Dave, I see where you are coming from. There was a good explanation by the TV Network that produced this at the bottom of the thread ( the link I posted), however it was in Afrikaans. They tried to justify it and have some valid points.
Morons, yes, but that pass is also the scene for the "Roof of Africa" rally that has been held for ages. That even alone probably damages the environment more than this single event.
Like you say, in some places it is DO OR DI. Learn from experience. As for Gurru's, there is a saying in Afrikaans:
"In die land van die blindes, een-oog is koning!"
Translated, in the land of the blind, the guy with one eye is king. So in terms of them being experts, yes in certain peoples eyes there are (well probably were now). It all depends on what you know and who you are trying to teach / impress.
I am not sure it was bad to get on the Internet. Hopefully more people learn from it, that actually try to crucify the 4x4 population. They are least got a lot of flak in SA.
