Crazy XJ jump

[RatLabGuy]

If I hadn't seen this in person, I wouldn't believe it.

out at the Uwharrie stables today a guy had an XJ w/ a front tire that was toast (like, barely on rim) and osme other issues... then said "Yeah I'll jump that ledge".

Few people believed he'd even make it up the slope (prob a good 10' height) and of those, he'd only get a few feet past.

FYI, this is the same guy that went over the rockpile backwards last year, and honestly, the guy always asks before he does crazy stuff and lets me get everyone out of the way so props to him for having the Cahones to put on an awesome show

Any word on his bodily condition since then?

 

[awheelterd]

i bet he hurt like a mofo the next morning.

 

[Dylan W.]

He was hurting like a mofo 5 seconds after he landed the 2nd time...we looked down the hill and he was sorta slumped over, we thought he was knocked out at first.

IMO having no tire on the front to absorb the shock would be the real killer. I wouldn't be suprised if he compressed a vertebrae or something, that's why I'm wondering.

That video was pretty cool, you wouldn't catch in on the chair or in the trailer though.
