  • Another rock blasting adventure. This time Dave and Zac travel to the Victorian High Country on the New South Wales border to take care of some nasty pieces of Granite that were blocking a road upgrade project.

    I like the uncovered blasting in remote areas. The slo-mo shots of huge chunks of rock flying through the air is so impressive. Thanks

      @demolitiondavedrillandblast  ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Glad you enjoyed it 55, I had to be a bit conservative with this one to make sure most of the rock was left on the road as they want to use it for erosion control works near by.

Extra style points for the excellent shatter and throw, not to mention the bonus where you all but paved that forest road with the rubble. Loved those slo-mo shots - that last one, I though we were going to see a Go Pro getting knocked over, but that big chunk turned last minute. The ripping sound on that shot....oh yeah. Extra humor points for the wonderful intro homage to the Blues Brothers.
