That is awesome!!! I think the long jump for a bike is around that distance but at least you can adjust those in the air. A truck, your just along for the ride!

Amazing stuff though. Tanner is a crazy **** and can drive about anything you put him in!

For how big of a deal this is you would think they would have advertised it better. Awesome jump though! That landing looked pretty crazy; he wasn't at all straight in the air, but the suspension sucked it up without bouncing or anything.

Unbelievable that someone would attempt stuff like that. I guess they carry their ***** in a wheel barrow.
