C'mon guys, y'all will kill me if I have to improve for every position. At that rate, I'd have to go out back, actually build the winning truck, and then ride it around my hometown IRL and show you the review with Go-Pros mounted everywhere. You want that? I'll be taking donations in increments of 10,000 USD.
Glad y'all liked it. Thanks to TheTom for helping me out with the video software. It's opened doors to future collaboration. Stay tuned for that and the next two reviews when we coordinate our schedules again.

Yeah, well, SURPRISE!

Wirkola was the worlds best ski jumper by far for several years. So for us petrolheads it comes to something like "driving after Ayrton Senna", you're just not going to be as good. Well, I think you just set the bar for feedback/reviews after competitions on the forums, great work!
That was my intention. I hope y'all don't mind the extra time these take. I think it's worth it.

I was not expecting much, therefore i am super happy i made it the 3rd. Even more happy now that i am 3rd, because the wait for my review would have killed me
Appreciate all the comments like this thus far. I wasn't sure this would be the best idea, it really drags out the results stage, but what fun is a challenge with no suspense? I'm going to do my best to work with Tom to get the top two released pretty close together. No point in keeping the winner waiting when all the other positions have been announced.
