I know it does not snow too often in Portland, but it does, and drivers should be prepared or have some knowledge of what to do or not to do in certain driving conditions.
In this video, on a snowy and icy day in Portland, Oregon, different cars are filmed trying to navigate their way down a road. These cars don't appear to have snow tires, chains, four wheel drive, or a driver with any common sense. Only one of the above is needed in this situation.
The best part of the video is the first driver, who is also a complete idiot. He is in what appears to be a silver SUV or similar, and if he is purposely trying to hit every car and everything else, then he succeeds. After he hits the first group of cars, you can hear him trying to accelerate. Probably not the best idea in this situation. I know that pressing the breaks can make you continue sliding, but honestly after hitting a bunch of cars already, probably best to take your chance with the brakes and not accelerate even faster. He then goes on to hit walls and poles and another group of cars like something out of a video game. Hope he has good car insurance.
The other cars that lose control and crash can be best explained as a snowboard with four tires and an engine. One of the cars keeps going and going, even after hitting another car. You can't even see where it stops.
I guess I am glad that I live in Southern California and rarely have to deal with snow. But I am better prepared then these idiots.
What an amazing idea. If you like snowboarding or basketball or both, then you will be entertained greatly by this video. I want to start a petition for halfpipe basketball to be in the next Winter Olympics in Russia 2014. My favorite part of the video, other than that sweet back to back to back slams, is at the beginning with the Lebron style powder in the air. That definitely takes some skills to be able to snowboard up a halfpipe while doing spins and flips and slam down a basketball made of snow. Amazing.
