WHY?

It's worth watching, but why?

The Germans are very proud of their engineering and manufacturing.

And then there is the spectacle value for advertising.

Why did Evel Knievel jump?

 

[mtnpull]

Because they can! That was actually pretty cool.

holy chit!!!

that was amazing.

now for my observations.

1) that guy has awesome skills. Wonder how long he practiced that stuff on low levels?

2) love that he is suspended in the air....and WEARING the SEATBELT!!!

3) along with #2, anyone else notice the crazy aced reporter standing under the machine? Or the fact that the guys in white off to the side were the only ones with hard hats? Where was OSHA on that one?

4) That was freaking awesome!

5) how the hell did he get back down?

One observation I made, was that it appears that he is balancing the tracks on the little pedestal's when in reality there are hooks on the inside of the tracks that he hooks around a bar to hold the machine in place while he moves his boom to the next level.

Looks like a new olympic sport will be comming to us! Can't wait to see the dump truck freestyle jump competition! Oh and don't forget the Dozer Drags!!

I was wondering if there was something like that....to me it kinda looked like the top part of the pedestal came down and hooked in the cleat...

all the same it's pretty impresive.

Dub (WFO) sells yellow iron, he has some videos that make that look like Dunner on a sled. No disrespect to that German feller I wouldnt do it hooks seat belts or a hard hat.
