GRAVITY IS A BITCH!! | ||

I'm sure Darwin rolled over in his grave that those genes will probably be passed on to the next generation. Poor bastard, that HAD to hurt. | ||

Oh well- next time he should be able to get more air, what with knocking the body off the chassis and such... | ||

EPIC FAIL! | ||

Wow, No_rice's is even worse! What makes people want to jump pick ups? You couldn't find a more poorly balanced vehicle to use, except maybe a semi truck. ~SM | ||
| Crackhead |
the rear leaf suspension doesn't help ether. most shocks don't have enough rebound control, thus causing a rapid unloading and the rear end of the truck to jump up higher then the front. The second video is a perfect example. | ||

But it worked on TV on the Dukes of Hazzard for Uncle Jessie's truck. Hell if Bo and Luke can do it, anyone can. | ||
| Hootowl |
Yeah, that car was amazing. You could see it crumple on touch down, and then it would be fine again. | ||
| Sayitaintso |
And it never got dirty no matter what they drove through....i've been looking for a paint job that could do that for 25 years now. My Uly is as close as I've gotten, ride it anywhere, anytime , any road condition and it always looks the same. B.E.A utiful | ||

Back in the 80's, there was a high incidence of F150 accidents in the Gulf Coast Region. This was of such concern that Ford installed devices similar to voice cockpit recorders (VCR's) in all the F150's sold in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee to try to determine the causes of all those crashes. The VCR would run a tape loop about 30 seconds or so long, that would stop recording when a collision was detected, so you got the last 30 seconds of sound before a crash. After a couple of years of gathering data from crashes, including the VCR's, Ford determined that the most common event recorded before a crash (other than "Oh Sh*t!!"), was "Hold my Beer and Watch This". | ||

Crappy GM product. A Ford would have made it.  | ||

Speaking of The general lee, anyone watch the special features on that remake movie they did? The movie wasn't very good, but it was neat to see how they set up the jumps. The big "bridge is out" jump actually used a giant cable-driven slingshot... the car wasn't even running. Bad thing about those car movies is how many classic cars they destroy in the process. ~SM | ||

This happened at the Sonic near us during a car/tuner meet. | ||

Need I say it? It's Dodge, what do you expect? If it had been a Ford it would have flown right over everything and come through it without a scratch. Very luck the dude with the camera wasn't a red greasy spot in the parking lot......way too close. | ||

"And it never got dirty no matter what they drove through...." You knew it was a bad @ss vehicle when it could squeal tires on a dirt road. Speaking of big rig jumping, someone tried it, it was on one of those shows with the moto cross guru and they were putting together a jump with cars, bikes, bicycles and what not then someone jumped his dad's big rig. It was pretty neat to watch but I can't seem to find it. | ||

That vw rabbit pickup owner is really not happy   | ||
| Whisperstealth |
Dodge guy is LUCKY he did not get a beat down! I have seen video of ford rangers making some narly jumps, and coming out okay. | ||
| Sayitaintso |
That vw rabbit pickup owner is really not happy His car/truck (whatever you wanna call those damn things) just got totaled.. heck a cracked windshield and a little scratch in the paint would probably total one of them. | ||
| Stirz007 |
Kyrocket - that would be the Nitro Circus guys doing the Guiness Book records show. 50 feet plus, as I recall. That was done right here in Utah just down the road a piece. | ||
| Bikertrash05 |
Ok, we need a "truck jump win" here. | ||
| Bikertrash05 |
Holy crap, just watched Glitch's video! | ||

The Duke's jump car had concrete in the bottom of the trunk. | ||
| Just_ziptab |
No box bolts? The box was loose from the frame,mid air before it hit the face of the landing berm. | ||

Most of the General Lee cars used in the movie were built by Luedke Auto Group down the road from my shop. He does nothing but General Lees. | ||
