He's way cooler than me, but there's very little driver input when it comes right down to it. I'll take an edited Ken Block video.
Risky, too. Flip gone wrong...cracked vertabre=no fun.

Speaking of Ken Block, have you seen that killer video of him at an abandoned airfield???

White hip-hoppers, white pseudo hip-hoppers, black hip-hoppers, baggy pants skaters (tight pants skaters are more emo), FMX'ers, etc...
Pretty rad stunt, nonetheless. RM has balls of steel to try that.

Well... there was a failed rally career... and apparently beating japanese drifters is more difficult than he thought... in fact... I think the only things he actually can do is badly portray a seasoned race car driver on Setup and NOT land an upside-down truck.
Rod Millen, his dad, was an actual rally champion, IMSA 24hr at Daytona winner, hillclimbing champ... and successful off-road truck racer. Oh... he dabbles a little in drifting too.

...so instead he makes bank as a stunt driver. I could deal w/ having that job.

Is there anything Mr. Millen can't do? Sure!
He can't lose without complaining that it's all a plot against him! He's a the biggest whiny brat when he doesn't get his way and having worked with him, I can say that I wish to not do that again! He plays "nice" on camera, but in person, he's quite the tool and . . . .whew I can seriously go on like this for a while, but I'll keep my trap shut because I've only done corner work with him for an event, but sometimes, with some people, once is definitely enough.

Can he make a rock so big he himself can't lift it?

If he does, he'll just propel it away with his own ego

if he had made the damned truck fuel injected, he would have stuck the landing with a little throttle input. carburetors don't work so well in the upside downy position.

The best way to describe flatbillers is "the ricers and squids of the offroad world"

Nice try though, it was sooo close!

Now that was cool, something never done before, not like the abondoned air field just go do whatever run. It is very cool to see, even if it did twist a tad and landed wrong. He might be a little whiny every once in a while but hey. Hey the high jump of Robbie was pretty insane! Those Australians/New Zealanders aka Ozzies and Kiwis
are insane. Makes me kind of feel not so talented.
