Very skillful
Bloody dangerous, the cabs only connected to the dump body by a big arse ball joint and a couple of steering rams.
I have seen a few part company due to harsh wear and tear.
Then the tyre blows! ;)
Back in the day our Terex dumper drivers would do that in their 150 tonners. But not for the shits and giggles, more to spray water all over the electrics (diesel-electric drive) so they could have some down time. Lazy buggers. Might have had something to do with the bottle of Bundaberg they skulled each evening. Back when Aussie mines were wet.
Back in the day when you could still get away with a bit of tomfoolery it was bloody good fun with a twin powered motor scraper, get spinning and keep the power on the back motor.
