Even the backwoodest of dipshits should realize you can calculate exactly how fast you need to go to safely land a big jump. Instead Bubba says "hold my beer", slaps on an mx helmet and jumps in the SxS

Stunt Performer Injured at White Knuckle Event

May 28, 2018 Local News

Huntsville, TN (218-05-26) A performer attempting to break a UTV world distance record was seriously injured Friday afternoon at the White Knuckle Event at Brimstone Recreation in Huntsville.

Phil Smage, a performer from Nitro Circus, was reportedly seriously injured Friday afternoon when he reportedly overshot the landing ramp in his official attempt to break the world distance record in a UTV. According to a post on the company�s Facebook page, other crew members had successfully made the jump during testing; however, when Smage made his official attempt at the record he overshot his landing. Smage landed hard on the rear axle of his UTV, resulting in the vehicle lunging forward and flipping multiple times. Smage was cut from the wreckage of his UTV by the Scott County Rescue Squad. He was then transported by LifeStar air ambulance to U.T. Medical Center in Knoxville.

Nitro Circus says the exact extent of Smage�s injuries are unknown, but that he was alert, responsive, and in good spirits. Contrary to social media chatter, the company says Smage had feeling in his extremities when he was transported.

In a company statement, Nitro Circus said Smage, like all action sports athletes and all members of their team, is passionate about progression, which carries with it the possibility of injury. The company says while it looks to raise the bar, they also always strive to create the safest events possible by collaborating with athletes, ramp designers and engineers in a commitment to minimize these inherent risks.

If any of you watched America's Got Talent, that was one of the Smage Brothers that did trials stunts a few years ago. He and his brother are insanely good riders and you should look up their stuff.

It's really quite nice up there. My only issue is that there are so many loving condos being built, but I realize that's a common problem everywhere.

I wasn't sure exactly what spec Suzuki's new Jinmy was going to be, but they've done it right.

Ladder chassis, coil-sprung live axles front and rear, and a proper transfer box.

Oh man I'm going to have to wait for one of these to replace my occasionally ambitiously off-roaded Suzuki shitbox:

That said, taking a small city car down rural dirt tracks and across fields is great until you get stuck in mud.

The batmobile thingy is pretty much unrecognizable but owns hard, if they made those at the factory, Skoda probably wouldn't have been VW's bitch now.

Here's one more I saw racing a month(?) ago:

Sadly it was pretty slow even compared to Ladas and Yugos, but more importantly it does look fast :v:

Those Spark videos are pretty good, but they have a pretty heavy British bias. They only briefly touch on any relevant machines/achievements which weren't British in origin.
