We have worked hard to get it up there. We know there is a huge demand but we will need you northerners to support it to keep it up there.
Watch it, send us emails...but most importantly call the sponsors and if possible buy there stuff. It costs money to get the show anywhere and these are the guys who have put their money on the line so that you can see the show. Thank them for it and the show will continue.

I don't think we have a community channel like channel 31 do we ?

If we don't, then we should create one. Actually, they should have a dedicated channel for 4WDing on Foxtel and Optus. That would be so mad!!!!!!

Guys, sorry but C31 Sydney was pushed out by the bigger players. It may come back though...we are hoping.
Don't forget the DVDs of the show though, keep checking the website to see when they are available.
If you get a full time TV show...we have over 6 hours of hardcore trucks from PUOSU and 5 hours of speed and carnage from the recent Alpine Challenge. Plus all of our other footage.

Took a bit of work, but they were definately keen.
You guys have got to promise though...to buy from the sponsors. If you want the show to stay, PLEASE thank the shops who paid for it to be there for you.

I will ask again
Is it coming to SA
Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2004 8:29 pm
by mudtoy
Sorry I missed that...hopefully in SA soon. We have been asked by plenty of viewers but we need some industry support from over there. So please talk to the suppliers and drum up some local interest. I think WA will be next as things are starting to stir there.

how do i know whether i can get Briz 31??? anyone from brissie know?
it is free but how do i find it?

SBS frequency is Ch28 so if you got SBS its 3 channels higher so once you pick up SBS the next channel you should find is Bris31
You might have to manual tune it as the signal might be weak but your in brissy so it shouldnt be a prob

If i can't see it on TV, then i'll just get the DVDs but need to know, what will be on them, just everything from the shows or just the best bits and such.

Cool to the Max,
The best reason I've had to replace the busted TV aerial yet.

The DVDs will have complete shows on them. Hopefully no boring bits at all.

I like the idea of someone giving something a go . I wont bag you for that . I however dont like your show . I think your concept is exelent , but your execution , not my cup of tea . I must admit , I didnt follow up watching the show , as my first impression of guys with beanies sitting on a couch making coments wasnt good tv , then i beleive you had a 40 series roll and trying to explain it was a soft roll . I must admit they are a vague memory as i thought it wasnt the best way to get our sport out to the public .
But in saying this . i do you give you ten points in putting something forward in the way that you saw fit . I will however take another look , I think maby with more experience that you have now , that the show may improve. I know you cant please everyone and i dont sujest that you try. Just my point of view , I wish you all the sucsess possible anyway.

How is this one diffrent ? People making the show ?

Thanks for the feedback. It is a new show but the rolling 40 owner has remained. The other guy dug a few too many holes and was ostracised by the show sponsors.
We didn't mean to sensationalise the rougher side of the sport but more intended to show that it does happen, but with the right preparation and safety gear, no one has to get hurt.
The 4wd community is massive and very diverse and it is impossible to please or appeal to everyone. That said we do have a message and the people we need to get that message to like to see action.
We would never set out to portray dangerous or irresponsible behaviour and for sure there were mistakes made in the first series but like it or hate it, what can you compare it to...Glenn Ridge testing the new Porsche Cayenne, the Leyland brothers driving the outback in an F250 or how about 5 minutes of how to use an ARB snatch strap stuck somewhere in an ET or Rex Hunt fishing show.
It is a shame you didn't keep watching as it got better each episode and we ended up with over 100,000 viewers a week in Melbourne alone (one episode and 2 weekly repeats).
So please tune in again.

Ah Sydney. What a great place to live. Kicked one day and shafted the next
Have you guys approached SBS? Even a 2:45am slot! better that than nothing.
NSW, truley the extraction state (extract everything they can from you and give nothing back).
