Just for you Gritdog 30 mph backwards

I just taped my phone to the head rest in the back seat and took my truck and trailer out on the road to make a video for you Gritdog. But, when I played it back I realized I should have taped the phone to my side mirror or something cuz it really isn't much of a video. Anyway, I backed up just under one half mile and ended with a blind side 90 degree turn parked lined up on the right hand side of a narrow side road. I would have gone out and made a redo but I don't really like screwing around like this on the highway and the side roads are too icy to play on.

    That is showing some good skill there. Personally I try to stay in the lane going the direction that I am actually moving just in case someone comes from behind but not much else to say other than good job.

    Great job! A better camera angle would have been more entertaining when I made my wife sit on the couch and watch you. She asked “what am I watching here”?

    Don’t you just hate when someone misses their turn and instead of finding a place to turn around they just put their flashers on and proceeds to back up.:S Nice job 4x4ord.:B

    Well...he said he would post a video. He did it, with trailer of his choice. Without question, a better than average backer! Great job, and video is good enough to show your skill.

    For me, granny reverse still best choice for my use.

    The area looks very much like same area Tom Hanks was in in Cast Away when he delivered the 1 package from Fed Ex.

    Haha, I never said I could do it. I wanted to see him do it! I don't think my Dodge can even go that fast in reverse, but I'll give it a shot.
    4x4ord, that's some backing skillz man. Hats off to you!
    I can see why you need to do 30 in reverse...I think I can see all the way to BC from your phone!
    (You did cheat and use a GN though....my little sister even backs those up at 25mph, lol)
    Just kidding, nice work! Happy New Years!

    Don't look like to much traffic. Nice job. Now could you try it with a 30' TT? :)
