Thought I'd share this amazing feat with the rest of TW...

From the Baja 1000 this afternoon in Ensenada Mexico.

Epic.

 

That takes balls. I'm talking elephantiasis size balls.

 

Sweet. Not exactly the barrel roll I was thinking but very cool.

 

I bet something broke after that one..

 

The way he landed on that front driver side tire makes me think he at least bent the wheel or something, but it looks like it kept rolling pretty well.

I can't imagine how nerve racking the practice sessions must have been, especially the first one.

 

Amazing.

 

Foam pit.

A BIG MFing foam pit.

 

just pin it and you have a fully tig'ed caged what could go wrong. still really cool though.

 

That was so DISGUSTING!!

Could you imagine the wreckage had he lost it and veered left?!?!

 

correct

that could have gone waaay bad.

 

and may have gone bad for those at the end near that overpass

 

That was cool but I kind of was thinking the same thing. But... That never stops the dumb asses from standing on the sidelines of a rally race so fuckem if they're that stupid.

Gonna say that probably wouldn't fly (literally) in the states.

 

Badass!

 

We had a fatal here in CA a few years ago. Huge investigation over crowd control, whether the spectators were beyond the ropes, whether ropes were set up and adequate....

I don't recall the outcome of the investigation.

Shit happens and everyone knows it. Shit happens on an F1 or NASCAR track when a car or debris goes through or over the fence. Being a spectator is not without risk.

Watching an off road event from trackside on the outside of a turn?
Natural Selection.

 

Agreed!
