- codyjohnle, on 01/12/2009, -1/+12but you didn't. instead you just typed on your keyboard.
- Krezer, on 01/12/2009, -1/+11Before all the idiotic redneck/bro/white trash comments start going I will give a little background.
This is Robby Gordon (Nascar driver, desert racing SCORE Baja 1000 champion, Dakar racer) jumping a trophy truck in the Glamis Imperial Sand Dunes of California. This is a really old clip but impressive if you understand offroad racing/trucks.
Trophy Trucks are an offroad race trucked used in races like the Baja 1000. They costs 100,000s to build and maintain. It's the equivalent of playing a pick up game of football and an NFL quarterback coming out to play in the game. - captainmo77, on 01/12/2009, -1/+10...boring....

- bornhardcore, on 01/12/2009, -1/+3TOTALLY SICK BRO!!!!!!
- djhspawn, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2Thank you for giving some information to these people. This sport is not for everyone, if you don't like it... then fine. Bury it and move on. But don't talk trash about it. Seeing RG do this jump live was one of the coolest thing my eyes have seen in my 25 years.
- TrashyMoped, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2My buddy jumped a truck like that in some sand dunes in Mexico for spring break one year...
But he compressed his spine and was in the hospital for awhile... OOPS - tEhKewleSt, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2I think I'm more impressed with how brave the crowd was then I was with the actual jump.
- SMFB, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2have you guys not seen this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkoWLctJueo - johnnyfoto11, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2Still boring
- Hollow5, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2Needs dead people.
- knowitall, on 01/12/2009, -1/+2Needs more cow bell.
- djhspawn, on 01/13/2009, -0/+1Yes, I was there for that jump and I was happy to say I did vote for Obama... Of coarse being a stereotypical digg user I would have preferred Ron Paul.
- Ma1achi, on 01/12/2009, -0/+1not the most impressive thing I've seen a vehicle do, but I sure as ***** wouldn't want to be behind the wheel!
I find it too perfect that the video ends with a shot of the confederate flag. Think any of those guys voted for Obama? - Pinkertinkle, on 01/13/2009, -2/+3Is this some sorta KKK meeting?
- StigNordas, on 01/12/2009, -1/+2Dude is insane! I think he's also doing well at this year's Dakar.
- TigerStar337, on 01/12/2009, -0/+1Awesome!! The motor sounds sweet!
Top Fuel Warmup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3HvJJoGhL8 - aviazn, on 01/13/2009, -1/+2Robby's one of the most versatile drivers of his generation; he wasn't too shabby in an IndyCar, either--he won two races in 1995 and came within a lap's worth of fuel of winning the Indy 500 in 1999. Although I can't help thinking he'd have had more success as a driver if he hadn't tried to be his own owner, I gotta respect him for doing things his own way. One of the most fan-friendly guys in Nascar.
- specialbuddy1, on 01/13/2009, -0/+1Not as good as this guys gap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fiyr91l0wao&fea ...

- PillCosby, on 01/13/2009, -0/+1did you notice the rebel flag on the quad?
- partrow, on 01/13/2009, -0/+1I don't think that's an electric, bro. I think it is a gas burner.
- partrow, on 01/13/2009, -0/+1Why? What does this accomplish?
- inactive, on 09/04/2009, -0/+1That's bad news... :(
