Desert Disaster: We Rolled Our TANK 300 | Shocking Season Ender المزاحمية Exp. 13 v2

We wanted to update you on what’s been going on with us since we rolled out TANK in the desert a few weeks ago. We posted a video about the weekend highlighting the accident, and we want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and well wishes—it means a lot to us.
 
People contacted us with suggestions of where to get our car fixed and things to look out for, and they were generally super supportive and empathetic.
 
We shared the video everywhere—not only because we want to continue our mission to share more of this incredible country with everyone but also because the off-road community here in Saudi Arabia is just that….a community.
 
The video was getting a lot of views (2,874!) – and we were psyched about that. The footage and tips we shared were educational and aimed to inform our audience about the dangers of driving in the desert. A lot of people actually thanked us for that, which was really cool and gratifying.

Strangely, last week, we woke up to a message from YouTube telling us our video had been taken down because of a copyright removal request from the guys who shared their dashcam video with us! We were surprised and didn’t expect anything like that since they knew we had a channel, shared their footage with us willingly, and never told us not to share it.
 
We reached out to them, apologizing for not specifically asking if we could use the footage in our video because we naïvely assumed it was understood that we would. They said they wanted to "protect their footage," 🤷 🤔 so...we improvised! This video is not as interesting as the version with the actual footage of the accident, but it is what it is. (We like the analysis graphics, but we still wish we could share the dashcam footage!)

NOTE - a few of you mentioned the Saudi Arabian flag on Rocky's vest; while it's still in this video, we have removed and replaced it. Thank you for pointing that out. We appreciate your support and all the comments and suggestions we receive, and we take them all to heart and try to respond to each comment.

PEACE, GOODWILL, AND ADVENTURE!

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION,
Join us on today’s adventure when we head out to the dunes in Al Muzahimiya to see the Milky Way and end up having a tragic season-ending accident when we roll our TANK 300 down a dune.

Check into this episode to see the desert's beauty, power, and splendor. Including camel spiders, scorpions, scarab beetles, and the International Space Station! (and, of course, the Milky Way!)

Thankfully, we are all OK except for the TANK. Tune in to see how this marvel of Chinese engineering withstands the forces of nature….and gravity.

We will be bringing the restoration and rebuild to you soon!
