Sam Blenkinsop is one tough dude, but the Kiwi's shoulder is no match for the hardwoods of the East Coast. Sam tries to get up to speed before qualifying this afternoon.

Its a fact. Even east coast trees are more hardcore. Had that been a European oak, it would have buckled.

Who needs to wear armour when the trees do it for you?

Blenki's haulin through that section. He barely touches the ground!

ive hit tons of trees before, not as hard as sam did, but my fox titan armor has definitely reduced the severity of my injuries
