Did that ever happen?

Hey, that's right. I forgot about that. I watched the teaser video and it looked insane. I just don't see it working, but I'd love to watch the video! :D

I read on Racer X that the guy got hurt practicing (flipping the truck) for the stunt last week so they called it off.

That was an awesome jump no question:hail:

Ah, now I see. The kicker folds down after the front wheels hit it. I was wondering how the truck would rotate in the air.

Sucks that he broke his back and neck, though. Looks like he had it dialed in.

I've cleared a few big gaps before, but that jump make them all look tiny! That's just crazy.

The guy in the truck....well, there's a fine line between clever and stupid.

Man I said the same thing. To pull that jump off twice no matter how skilled he is was damn lucky.
