Crowing or not, it’s bloody impressive to watch those guys manoeuvring.

Dropping the trailer and forgetting to drop landing legs, and stretching a few “susie’s can quite easily take the shine off a tricky turn or manoeuvre.🤣🤣
Hasn’t happened to me yet! 🤪

I used to tow a break down type Ambulance thing back in the 1970s.
The front wheels of the mini trailer held the front wheels of the vehicle you had to unlock the steering. I could not go back more than 2 ft without getting in a mess - so I look at Artic Driver's in awe of the skills I have never had.

Easily done when you get distracted halfway through your demount procedure. I've lost count of the amount of susies I broke in a 40 year career, some were because they caught on a piece of the trailer sticking out, like the ratchet for the curtains, some because they were just worn out. I've not dropped a fully loaded trailer though but have dropped one empty, low gear on the landing gear and you can get it back in the air again to the point the unit can get back under and lift it on the air suspension.
Anyone who's says they've not almost done something similar is either lying or has only been driving a week.

Ken, all of us if we admit to it have
1 forgot to wind legs up
2 forgot to wind legs down
3 forgot to disconnect suzies
4 forgot to connect suzies
And worst of all, according to dvsa, forgot the dog clip, although on all the new tables it simply stops the safety clip from moving, not the arm as it used to
