I don't know what to think in these days of computer enhanced media, but can you really do something like this with a car? I can't imagine that this is even possible to do, but I have been wrong before... :confused:

Maybe if you start the rotation, and you a LOT of balast in the frot of the car?

1. you couldn't generate enough speed on a pipe that small.
2. you really think he could rotate a car 20 ft. in the air?
3. do you really think he could get his harness off, leave the car, get back in the car, reharness, with out going threw the windshield?
4. do you really think the suspension on a car that low would hold up?
5.do you think that he could land several time with out destroying any part of the body, chassis, tires, himself?

very cool special effects

6. Do you expect me to think logically? :D

Theoretically, I think it would be possible to flip around like that in a specially built and balanced car, even if it makes you wonder how you would design a car and practice for such a thing (trial and error would be pretty painful and expensive, to say the least). The suspension will only have to hold up for a few jumps and won't really have to take all that much of a vertical impact as the car is almost level with the ramp when it lands. And you could gain enough speed by entering the ramp coming in from the side at a slight angle.

But what convinced me that it is a fake was when he got out of the car. You can always get out quickly, but getting in again, close the door, get seated (basically under zero G), buckle up and regain control of the car... Nah. But it's a cool video. :cool:
