OH - MY - GOD

I have to say thats VERY impressive, but isn't that salt water? I could never do that to my truck. Not that I could even if I wanted to.

At least twin I beams are good for some things

Can you say "Service every grease bearing item in the truck, and change every quart of axle lube." ? Oh and don't forget a good freshwater bath. I'm sure the wooden floor of the camper just loved that. On that last video, very much like in the Dukes of Hazzard, I bet there was something seriously wrong with that truck once it landed. That came down real ******* one side. Heck, the tailgate was already flapping in the wind as it flew through the air. How fast do you think it was going? 70? 80?

Man that ranks right up there with you can't fix stupid.

When I was still in, 2 individuals decided to joyride a humvee one night and were doing that same exact thing.

Base fire dept got an early morning call a few days later for a hummvee fire.

Hmmmmm, same one that went for some body surfing and never got washed down afterwards.

the reason why people have to go through the creek at pismo is to get to the camgrounds. It's really no big deal at low tide. No saltwater issues then. You will have problems at high tide like what these guys are doing.
this wasn't the case before, but the environazis got one of the main access roads shut down and the alternative is this.

had a buddy do that by accident one night, he decided to race some guys home from the bar and cut across a field with it to the floor and hit a drainage ditch doing 50-60. launched his old dodge w150 about 10 feet in the air. broke the exhaust off the hangers and blew out the front tires but it ran so he kept going. he was lucky he didnt believe in wearing a seat belt and hammered his head and fell on the floor of his truck.

No doubt they will use this footage to try and prove that sea levels are rising thanks to climate change.

Agnem: I'm pretty sure he was doing 70

Guy had a set on him that's for sure. As high as he flew, he's lucky he didn't come down on his nose and get body slamed onto the roof.

 

[Dsl_Dog_Treat]

Dude got some serious hang time.

I love the guy yelling in the background after he lands:

The old fords from the late 70s are actually quite good for jumping. They have the longest (and equal sized) twin I beam axles, similar strength frame as modern trucks, and are not nearly as heavy so are not very vulnerable to their own weight. When they were more popular, they were a vehicle of choice for the baja races because only a minimum od modding was needed to make it into a long travel suspension.

I doubt that poor old ford in the video has tracked strait in years though even before the jump.
