Jumping a car or a truck is one of those borderline stupid activities that makes being a geared truly fun. We’ve all done it in some shape or fashion whether it be taking a hump in the road fast enough to get the front up skyward an inch or two or careening over some sort of massive heave in the ground to get a pickup truck flying, there’s thrills involved. The video below contains a load of different jumps. Some of them are awesome and some of them are facepalm dumb. The range of vehicles, countries, people, and situations that they come from is the interesting bond. Yes, horsing around with cars and trucks truly IS the universal language.
The other thing that most of these jumps have is a passenger. That’s typically the guy screaming at the driver to go ever faster as the launch ramp (or berm, or flaming hill) is approached. Why? Because they do not own the truck and are just in it for the story. The passenger is the devil on your shoulder. Your bank account is the angel telling you not to do it.
Enjoy this look at people flying Jeeps, Fords, Chevrolets, Toyotas, gasoline burners, diesels, and other unnamed wonders of the mechanical world.
The funniest part is how many reactions are word for word identical.
