How far can a tire roll when you throw it off a sand dune? The group called Tuk South did just that, and they were ready with a drone to follow it on its adventures. As the tire goes on and on, you have time to contemplate the meaning of all this. Where is this? The description only says that this is one of the tallest sand dunes on earth. How far did the tire roll? Did they go get it? I wouldn't bother. The drone can come back on its own, but let's think about that drone for a minute. It has remarkable range from the controller. Did it have enough power to get back? With live streaming, you don't have to retrieve a drone to have the footage. And after you think all that, you think, goodness, that tire is still rolling.
This may remind you of the movie Rubber that starred a tire going on a murderous rampage. Except the tire above is no villain, but a hero for its perseverance, determination, and sense of adventure. -via Memo of the Air

Does this count as 'littering'?

It's kind of sad that modern me watches an impressive video and immediately starts wondering "how did they fake this?"

Reminds me of the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake, though this tire version would be for long-distance/endurance runners.
