I've done some crazy stuff when I was younger but not even close to this. I wonder if this individual still walks on this planet?

    I bet his buddy hitting one of those trees at the bottom of the hill would have taken the laughter out of that kid......

    Got about 100' of air (length, not height) with my '71 Dodge Dart at a railroad crossing when I was a lad.

    Front end alignment never seemed to be quite the same....

    Where I grew up we had this huge hill that had a road crossing it about mid way down... it was about 3 times as steep as that and four or five times as long. That is all I will say.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Yep, I sent this to a buddy and he said he knew a kid when he was younger that died just that way, hit trees when coming down.

    It appears roughly, this kid was in the air maybe 100'. Have to make sure my kids never see this video!

    That car looked like it was starting to fishtail as it entered the trees. But, the video cuts off and doesn't let you know whether he recovered successfully. Dumbazz.

    I joined the "should have dead by now" club many years ago, but this guy needs no sponsor! [^][:D]

    I used to do stupid chit like that when I was younger.

    I would hit a railroad crossing at ~100mph and get enough air they said you could drive a pickup under my truck.

    I look back and think... you F'in idiot...what if * happened when you did that!

    That was obviously an older model car with a stout under carriage and suspension components...

    Try doing that with one of the newer so called vehicles.... [B)]

    A carload of teenagers got killed a while back on a popular hill-jumping stretch of road near here. A day or two ago the local newspaper reported that the County is bulldozing the crest of the hill down so it will not be possible to jump there any more.

    I had a cousin who was riding with a friend who did that and my cousin ended up in the hospital for nearly 2 months. He wasn't worth much before the wreck, but he is absolutely useless afterwards.

    Out in the High desert of Calif I was taking what I thought was a short cut but I had never been on this road before. Wanting to get home quick and the road was clear I was doing around 100 Mph. That RR crossing came up on me quick and I did not have time to slow down.

    Even with a seat belt on my head hit the roof several times. Hit so hard the engine died.

    Couple of months later my Ex-wife(Was my wife then) took the car in for alignment cause it was just not driving right. Mech asked her if I drove it in the Baja.

    Did it again on my Motorcycle. On a road I did not know but it was straight and clear of traffic. I just did not see that it did a rise then dropped off quick in one place. Still not sure why the cop in the dip did not chase me. I was in the Air 30-40 feet. Old GS 750 Suzuki.

    Anybody been on Hwy 138 East of Palmdale. There are a bunch of dips in the road. Speed limit was 55 Mph Hit that area at 65-70(anything Higher and you want to die) at the top of the rise you can feel the car getting real light and at the Bottom it goes back up so quick you car will bottom out. Heard they took those dips out too many folks were killed.

    Lucky to still be alive.
