Obviously a lot of planning and preparation. Camera seemingly on a tripod, panning with the cart, stays focused. Not someone fumbling with their phone and barely keeping them in the picture.
Only the kid moving his arm in the last couple of tenths of a second makes me think it’s a real kid and not a mannequin.
Redneck version of his Snake river canyon jump. the the same amount of success
It’s from one of the Jackass movies, surprised none of them died in some of their stunts. One did die in a car crash unrelated to Jackass, Ryan Dunn
Doomed from the start —
High center of gravity, with a line of thrust well below it
it started its counterclockwise rotation before it even left the dock
hopefully, the occupant didn’t get too hard by the “vehicle” when it crashed into the water
Good thing it was attempted into the water rather than on land — or the outcome probably would have been quite different
My first thought was that it should have rotated immediately. Something was holding the front end down.
Yeah, there’s something going on that we’re not seeing. That much thrust, so low down, would have flipped him straight off.
pfft…we did the real kneivel tricks, lined up our mates at the end of the plywood ramp and saw how many we could fly over with our bikes, the last dude in line sucked big time, as did the galvanized trash cans..we didn’t always clear the end…everyone had to take a turn..
that was actually pretty good vid…
we used to steal lawn mowers, cannibalize carts and make go carts, how we survived is anyone’s guess, drank from water hoses too..
Am paying for all those stunts with two torn meniscus getting repaired soon..
Oh they are fun, I’ve had both of mine done. And as for ‘repaired’, obviously that word doesn’t mean to the osteosurgeon what you think it means.
