Re : Brillo being a gravity racer at Aviemore

(1/1)

Hi folks
Just thought we' d share our latest experience with you....not strictly speaking a Landrover event, but many competitors do use them for transportation of these vehicles.
The event in question is Cairngorm Soapbox Extreme last weekend. A two mile dash down the ski road in carties and gravity sidecars- top speeds 60+mph!
Brillo was competing in gravity sidecar no 21 (yes, the one with the noisy air horns!)-only suffered one tire blow out ( there is a limit to how hard a MiniMoto tyre can go to!). The brave passenger was a long time friend Niall. Team Bush also consists of cartie no 26...driven fearlessly by Colin Craig- A.A.L.Media's in car camera technician.
Colin's new camera was on the front of the sidecar and some of it looks terrifying...but some lovely panoramic shots coming down the mountain.

Due to the fact that Brillo was too busy being a gravity racing god(they got 3rd! in the sidecar class), it was White Cloud's maiden voyage into cinematography. Thank goodness Brillo is a fantastic editor!
