Take off

Step Turn, While the landing can be interesting, and I have done a few myself, the take off from a towed trailer is even more interesting. You need a powerful enough tow vehicle and a driver that doesn't slow when you lift off. He actually needs to speed up a bit. If he doesn't, the result is normally a crease in the roof the the tow vehicle.
