This Super Slow Motion Video Of Off Road Racing Trucks Wrecking, Jumping, And Racing Is As Hypnotic As It Is Awesome

There are few things more fascinating to us than slow-motion video. We’re not sure exactly when it showed up on network television but we’re sure glad that it did. Slow-mo is cool during sporting events to analyze a play that referees will also lend their opinion on but it is specifically awesome for racing because it can be used for both tuning purposes and for other purposes as well. In the case of this video, it is being used to highlight some of the great action at TORC series off road races. TORC is a stadium off road style series and their races (at least some of them) are broadcast on the NBC Sports network.

This video opens with a beautiful and wild bit of footage that shows a Red Bull sponsored race truck flying through the air while tumbling. The truck hits the front and rear, pirouettes, and sheds parts the whole time. It is amazing to watch the wreck happen but this isn’t just a wreckage video. After that first scene, the video moves to more footage of trucks racing, hanging the tail out, and leaping through the air. Watching these things happen in slow motion makes them both seem more exaggerated and less violent if you can believe it. We have all seen these trucks land and soak up the impact in real time, but when you watch the same jump in slow motion and can really pay attention to the suspension compressing and working, it looks like a pillow soft landing.

Press play below for two minutes of completely awesome action from the TORC racing series all shot in beautiful slow motion –
