    There's a fine line between cojones and insanity. Well, maybe it's like a Venn diagram.

    Whatever the hell it is, it's a mystery to me.

    Glad to see the Red Bull advertising on the bottom; even if things go horribly wrong the sponsor is still present.

    While you can't file that as a success, it was still pretty awesome.


    If at first, you don't succeed...


    Can't wait to see the next attempt.

    Not bad considering that they did no modeling of the landing at all. He needs to make friends with a crazy physicist, and redesign the suspension a little, and he's golden.

    Looked pretty successful to me. Full rotation, all four wheels landed, but the truck just didn't roll away smoothly. I'd call it a job well done.

    That was pretty darn close. Yes, he didn't stick the landing, but "FAIL"? Give the guy some credit, that was a pretty awesome stunt -- and he almost ended wheels up. I know, I know, a miss is as good as a mile, but I have no doubt that these guys nearly have this dialed.

    @nick2ny: Not setting up the rebound dampers = FAIL. I'm pretty sure they knew they wouldn't be landing on a pile of cardboard boxes at the main event like they did in practice. Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
