This is a great little demonstration video showing the effect of not having enough tongue weight and too much tail weight. No one get's hurt (you'll see why!!) Check it out. |

Thanks for sharing this. It is scary to watch on small scale. It would be terrifying to experience in real life.

I saw that when it was posted in the FB R-Pod Owners group. It's very educational and very scary.
