      How about that front axle departing company with the rest of the bus!

      If you watch it slow, the bus was in the air long before the end of the launch ramp!

          I was thinking the front bumper was going to hit the take off ramp and it would just plow all the bikes over.

              I noticed that too. He only needed a take-off ramp that was about half as long as that one!

                  What, no props for sucessfully clearing all the motorcycles and leaving them unharmed? Or for the sucessful turn into the infield with out a front axle? :D

                      "watch this bus crush all these harleys" would have been awesome.

                          Very nearly the greatest stunt, and video, ever.

                          The physicist must have overlooked the bounce in the suspension that slowed the truck as it hit the launch ramp. That was the fail.

                            No, that was the WIN!

                            If there was no bounce, the front axle wouldn't have been torn clean off! :D

                              I agree....as usual, you found a great pice of history and brought it back for us all to see. I must have replayed it 10 times.
                              I can't imagine the work you put into this place, but it is the best place out there....
                              Thanks Brian!
