I saw that today on Good Morning Murica. That's a mud/sand/hill climbing tire on the back. Amazing stunt, for sure. Now let's wait for the upcoming epic "FAILS" that will surely follow.

"Hey, Fellers! Watch this." You know it'll happen, right?  [smiley=drowning.gif]

Who sponsored these wild @$$ stunts before Red Bull came along?  But really cool.

I think over here it used to be Budweiser that sponsored them - whether they officially did it, or if it was unofficially inspired from mass consumption of their beverages - could be either one..

This the same guy that did a near vertical jump to the top of a 10 story replica of the Arc de Triumphe outside a Las Vegas casino 2 years ago on New Years Eve.

Also set the world record in 2007 for the longest jump at 322 feet.
