Howdy... the rear triple axel unit is often referred to as a "jeep". It is steerable (have a look at the two opposed hydraulic cylinders above the jeep frame and below the load... you can see the sun glint off the left cylinder at 0:07). The control lines for the jeep are running forward to the cab through the lines which are bundled just ahead of the 3 boomers that are holding down the load, and riding up on top of the beam. In the final 3 or 4 seconds of the video, you can see the black sheathed control lines bouncing up and down, still attached back to the jeep which is out of frame on the RHS. The mistake here is that the jeep wasn't controlled properly during the turn (it's one or sometimes two buttons in the cab, often attached to or near the gear shift for single finger operation); during the turn the jeep is turned to make a wide turn and stay in lane, and once the turn is made, the jeep should be brought back to a 0° (straight running) position, but it looks like it was left a few degrees right and thus hit the concrete guardrail. 10-4.

I think he's got something caught under the front axel that's burning up from the friction. The vehicle itself isn't on fire. Yet.

What's with the Axel Rose sounding soundtrack?

My car is named "Axel McStickshift".

That's not car-gay, is it?

Axel Foley rendition was epic.

Love the 8-bit Axel F. theme in the background.

Come to think of it, you should probably never watch it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Thanks for that. Sounds good. I'm going to see it.

I went to a sneak-preview of the film that they don't bother to promote in the above interview. Really enjoyed it! Below is the review I wrote for Cinemaclock...
Here's the deal with this flick- if you're a fan of 1980s style comedy cop flicks a'la Lethal Weapon and especially Beverly Hills Cop, then you'll really enjoy this lightweight action film from Kevin Smith. Hell, it's even got an 80s Axel Foley synthesizer soundtrack.
Bruce Willis is the grizzled veteran cop, Tracy Morgan (or is it Jordan? I get confused) plays his goofy partner. There's a plot of sorts- revolving around the pair trying to get back a valuable baseball card stolen from Willis' character by a gang of frightening hispanic ethnic stereotypes, the leader of which is a sports memorabilia collector.
There are a bunch of chases- both on foot and in cars- a couple of shootouts, and some minor sub-plots with a few twists. All of which serve solely as situations for Morgan to riff off of Willis' straight-man like a manic comedic madman. These guys have some great chemistry together, in the finest buddy-picture tradition.
A couple of cameos- notably Jason Lee as the slimy step-father of Willis' daughter, and Seann William Scott is hilarious as a strung-out cat burglar.
This movie's quite a change of pace for director Smith- a straight-up mainstream comedy. But it's still got a lot of his trademark clever dialogue and the characters are better fleshed-out and more believable than is usual for this genre. It drags a little bit in the second act, but moves on soon enough and pretty much succeeds in entertaining on every level.

Axel (cool name) is currently serving a ban for 3 months for that challenge. I think it's about right, but I could easily see him serving more.

Instant upvote for the Axel F song.
