Pffft. He didn't even land it. That was weak. Not even a full size truck. More like a CORR golf cart!

At 1st look of this jump, i was thinking not a lot or actual driver input to perform this, but check out the landing on the practice vid & that looks like plenty of driver input to me.

Also, check out the collapseable ramp design on the practic vid.
That is some serious engineering pencil work going on there to do that calculation. A complete change of inertia & loading on a 2500 LB vehicle with a wheel base of only about 15' & only maybe a couple 100ths of a second between the 2 changing forces @ both axle lines. Yawn for most of you but FUN for geeky me.

Cool Vid.
