Oh do tell.. do tell.. I would like to hear it
I’ll have to look for the video, it is on YouTube. Video is actually about a new prerunner he built but it is brought up that he was the driver of that jump.

If I recall they did the jump a few times, it was getting late and they wanted footage and he just went for it.


Edit: found it much easier than I figured

The only thing I know for sure is that his new truck is about a sharp as the corner of a single Lego piece

It helps a lot to have a slight downslope where you land. The spot he landed looks not only flat, but possibly a little upslope from them digging for the mound. This would significantly increase the impact at landing and cause the exaggerated rebound seen in the video.
exacltly, all the true is in your answer sir !

If you think that, you should see Durhamtown.
