Yeah something like that...Seems like everyone is jealous they don't have the money to jump super sweet raptor pro trophy trucks and set world records. The guy has balls bigger than anyone's house on here.
I would have to agree somewhat on that. I'm sure there's balsy people that would do the same on here.
But yes all the negative comments are stupid. Who cares, it was a sweet video to watch, guy just destroyed a rig with $10,000 or more in shocks and bumps. Quit bitchin and enjoy it and be glad it's not you :sonicjay:
They weren't just going about it blindly though. The guy on the hill was waving him the ok to go. And anyone in the area knew exactly what was going on.Who Cares? You're not serious?
Jumping is one thing..............being an idiot risking lives in a public park, is beyond stupidity. What would have happened had that thing gone into a group of spectators.
Do that crap in a private park, not Silver Lake.
Do you have a mullet?I would have to agree somewhat on that. I'm sure there's balsy people that would do the same on here.

I think you are confusing ballsy and bravery with stupidity and lack of concern about possible negative outcomes.I would have to agree somewhat on that. I'm sure there's balsy people that would do the same on here.

The point being made is not that the video was not enjoyable. It is that in a public park this is not the type of behavior that's is favorable to keeping it open for others to enjoy. Yes it is a congested area that is dangerous as is. Actions like this not only increase this danger, they also give fuel to future closures. Think what you want but this is not something that should be allowed. Not knowing Mike I assume he is an egotistical prick who likes to flaunt money in areas that will draw a large crowd. If this is un true why didn't he get permission to do this stunt in a closed environment?Ok guys I'm not the one doing it nor am I stupid enough to. Don't get upset because I enjoyed watching the video.
It's silver lake, watch your ass because nobody else is going to watch it for you.
I know because the douchebag in the blue long travel rail that says watch out under it.... Came about a foot to the side of running me over on my quad one day. Now I watch out for my self as everyone else needs to.
I understand your point but silver lake is full of egotistical pricks flaunting money. Your NEVER going to get rid of them, so my point is watch your ass and when you see a guy on a hill waving and a large crowd gather.. Stay away if you want to play it safe.The point being made is not that the video was not enjoyable.

Because he jumped as far and actually kept the truck flat and landed it and continued to race? Yeah, I agree.The jump by Douglas was nothing of the same. Sweet none the less but not even remotely the same situation.
LOL. Sure..Seems like everyone is jealous they don't have the money to jump super sweet raptor pro trophy trucks and set world records. The guy has balls bigger than anyone's house on here.
Wow. I wonder who's old Pro-Lite it was. That is some serious frame bending right behind the cab. I though they had more of a diagonal running to the back of the chassis.From mikes Facebook page![]()
are you the fun police?What about the people at the bottom of the hill on the back side? Could they see him. Silver Lake is not the place to do this. Unless its after hours or in a closed off area.
X200 I'm with nick on this oneare you the fun police?
where does it state that a vehicle must go x amount of speed and not go x amount in the air? whats the difference between that jump and the hillbilly shit on the drag strip. one of those trucks could blow a tire and fly into a crowd watching.oke:

I'm guessing it would be memories of this:X200 I'm with nick on this one
I witnessed a similar jump off Test hill back in the 90's in a CJ 7. Unfortunately they went nose first, and the passenger in the front seat died while I was talking to him. (the windshield folded him in half at his rib cage).
I know how you feel, same guy, same situation as me. I was taking my time on the hills behind test and those guys came over the top of those hills at a million miles an hour and almost took me out. Those guys are way more dangerous than what this guy did.Ok guys I'm not the one doing it nor am I stupid enough to. Don't get upset because I enjoyed watching the video.

:thumb: people always have to be negative about everything someone else does. Sure it was dumb, it could have been done better, but its still fun to watch!are you the fun police?

Exact same thing. Literally I started shaking and went back to the truck and loaded my quad up it was that close. Since then I'm very cautiousI know how you feel, same guy, same situation as me. I was taking my time on the hills behind test and those guys came over the top of those hills at a million miles an hour and almost took me out.
