Crazy Finns Crashing: Best Rally Crash Comp Ever!

Deputy Editor

I’ve never been shy about admitting that I love watching crash comps. But most of the time, the screaming engines, buckling metal and general noise of the wrecks is buried under some of the crappiest music imaginable. Really, you don’t need tinny European techno beats or ridiculous American rap metal to add drama to a rally crash. When the focus of a shot is a high-performance car spinning like an alternator pulley while shedding sheet metal, any additional elements are going to make it less compelling. And that’s why Crazy Finns Crashing is so killer. There’s no extraneous editing, no insipid soundtrack, no trippy title cards. All you hear is what the camera heard, and it’s perfect. Prepare for an exciting ten minutes….

The best videos are the ones where the person behind the camera comes ever so close to getting creamed himself… the only way to be closer to the action is to be in the car!

Thank you, John Coyle! I haven’t even watched this yet, but your comments have touched on the number one reason that so many YouTube videos are pure crap: The amateur doing the uploading can’t resist his urge to put a little bit of himself into the picture by messing everything up with awful music!

Sweet Video! I agree that having all the crazy music distracts from the whole effect of hearing the crunch and grinding of metal and the shattering glass.
