I heard about that stunt. I am not impressed at all. But a monster truck could use the tires to flip the truck like flipping a Tmaxx Rc truck. Hammer it in the air and it will flip on it's own.

I don't mean that I don't want to do that in my avalanche but for all of the time and money it took to set up that up. It was all the ramp that done it nothing special about the truck except that it was crush proof.

Mastermind behind the stunt: "Umm go straight at that metal thing at 47 MPH ok Rhys"

Rhys: "Ummm ok what will happen"

Mastermind: "don't ask just do it"

Rhys: "Ummm OK"

i cant figure out what that breakaway flap is doing at the top of the ramp? does it just preload the suspension to help nose pop up and the back end slide through? allota math into this stunt.. i also agree, 1% skill into this, .5% into lining it up .5% keeping speed.

Geico would be a great sponsor for this stunt.

The fronts go up, top of the ramp breaks away so the rears don't go up as much, and with the forward momentum it gets the rotation going.

I think they should try it with a monster truck instead. I would image it would be a lot easier landing, that truck just slammed onto the ramp.

the reason it slammed and rolled was because they didn't have the truck set-up to drive out of it... they had only landed it in boxes previously so they didn't know how to set-up the suspension for the landing.... there was no rebound iin the suspension... it hit bottomed out and rolled.....
