(Video credit: BustedKnuckleVideo) – Why is it always the Russian judge? We thought the execution that driver Duke Bohanon showed while piloting his awesome Nasty Satisfaction truck into a one and a half gainer was Olympic quality but I guess we were wrong. The good news is that the Russian judge probably did not make it out of the Muddy Bottoms park in Louisiana alive. Sorry Vlad, they don’t take kindly to that kind of stuff down there.
If there is a motorsports in America that is just begging to bust out it is this one. Rock bouncing takes a dedicated off roading area, a rocky trail and all kinds of stuff but these things? This is the type of thing that would pack stands from coast to coast and could be run in arenas, at fairs, and at whatever else you can think of. Getting a legit deep pit of Louisiana gumbo in an area or stadium would be hard but the rest of of the show would certainly be something that we’d see a nickel to see, especially if the trucks were racing side by side.
To us, Mega-Trucks represent the perfect marriage of monster trucks, stadium trucks, mud bog rigs, and drag cars. Look at them. You have the tube chassis goodness, the tractor tires, the suspension travel from hell, and all the noise a boy could want. What’s better than these things?! Just watch the way this truck explodes out of the hole when it goes on the run it ends up crashing on.
Props to the camera guy for ditching his gear and checking on the driver after he lands in the glop. That’s the right move!
Russian judge was right, he didn’t stick the landing and the lack of commitment to the roll was appalling. Clearly he got out of the throttle just before he hit – a good roll would have either added brake or throttle none of this “omg, I’m going to crash” crap.
