Much better than the redneck Ford Raptor jump.

They should see if he fixed it yet. I'm sure he can be talked into this stunt as well.

It's probably totaled. So what he can do is buy another and attempt a backflip with it. lol.

That's pretty intense. Interesting how he hits the rev limiter trying to keep the wheels moving for touch down.

I think he floors it more to get rotation in the flip. The ramp helps, but flooring it in mid-air gives it that last bit of rotation.

If you've ever ridden dirt bikes or raced RC trucks, you'd know that you can control the attitude of the vehicle in the air using the throttle and brakes. Since there's a reaction for every action, giving the motor gas to accelerate the wheels will cause the car's nose to move upwards. If you can stay airborne long enough, the nose keeps rising and the car flips. Opposite holds true for braking. Hit the brakes when the wheels are spinning in mid-air, and you'll force the nose of the car down.

I was just going to say that. From my days in motocross when you're in the air a wheel spinning will be pulled downward. So when you hit air on a dirt bike if your starting to tilt too far downward you can goose the throttle to pull your rear end down. It's really common to have your rear tire sink leaving you straight up and down (because your on the throttle when coming off the ramp). Because of this its really common to see someone kick the rear brakes once in the air to help keep the bike level. So if you're wanting to do a backflip you floor it in the air, this will cause your tires to pull you around.

Pretty cool, i did not know that but it makes sense!
