My thoughts exactly. The guy grew up watching the Dukes and Knight Rider and still believed he could do jumps like that and come out the other side with no damage like the TV shows.

He's also obviously not afraid to push his spine to the limit also. That guy's gonna end up having back surgery if he keeps those stunts up.

I think this should be a testing criteria for all 'TRUCK OF THE YEAR' contests...

For examples:

The Ford F-150 SVT RAPTOR: Motor Trend's 90 Foot Jump Truck of the Year.

Yea, that's what I thought of after reading Franks post. They might say they use six of the same car, but don't say how many have been totaled in the process lol.

He only over shot it by 40 feet. Not that big of a miscalculation....
To the people who calculated ramp angle, vehicle lift, speed, weight etc... Id go back to 4th grade math if I were you.
