Stuck In The Sand.....So Not Cool!!!

So on Saturady Rodrigo Rila (hes an awesome crazy Brazilian) kindly donated his time and a truck to pick up some dirt for us. All was going well, with 3 big truck loads being dumped beside each of the top jumps. But all went wrong when we tryed to back the truck in through the grom and intermediate lines to get a load on the landing of the wallride.
The truck got stuck in some soft sand next to the last jump of the line, where with every small movement of throttle the truck just got deeper and deeper. It eventually got to the point where it was sitting on the diff and axle of the truck. Bummer. But what made this worse was we had a full oad of dirt.
So we unloaded the dirt by hand, dug the truck out as much as we could and used 2 4x4's to pull it out. Big mission, but we got it sorted.
Thanks heaps to Rod, Anthony, Jamie and Nick for helping out and the crazy old fella who gave us the extra tow. Cheers fellas.
