Default Did any of you hear about this?
A guy named Rhys Millen is going to attempt a back flip in a dune buggy type automobile on New Years on ESPN. Here is a short clip of the vehicle and the ramp that is going to make him flip. The dune buggy sounds bad ***.
The video is a tease because when I first watched it I actually thought I would see the stunt. Apparently, we have to wait until New Years.

Actually he's originally from New Zealand (a 'kiwi'), but he might have U.S. citizenship now.
He was also a former rally driver (before drifting), as was his dad (Rod Millen).

Rod Millen held the record for Pikes peak for a while as well. They have a shop somewhere here in the states. The have some really trick suspension pieces, mostly rally and off road stuff.

No, weeks before this, in practice, the truck missed the cardboard boxes and he broke his back and all kinds of stuff, but the guy did set a world record on the Motorcycle jump.
