Actually, the only part that was really bad was the landing, because the rear went in first. Weight balance all that, and they could actually have gotten pretty close.
There is a videogame called 'Stuntman' and a sequel 'Stuntman ignition'. To be honest, the games arent good. What they do is parody a lot of films (james bond, indiana jones, dukes of hazard) and stunts from those movies, including this one. As said, the game is far from great, but doing and creating the stunts is a lot of fun.
he NEARLY had it!!! Perhaps if he braked in mid-air, it would have shifted the weight forward a hair, bringing the front down a bit sooner instead of tail-dragging like it did
my uncle that had diabetes and he died in 1998, he had to be the best driver in NY state, he could take his 1970 gto going 80 mph and do a 360 in the car and bring it right back under control, he took his road runner, someone bet him 50 bucks he couldnt go 15 miles without going under 100, and he did it, scared the shit out of everyone
simply he went a little bit more speedy, it can be corrected either to redo the calculations , or to have a more shock adsorbant landing cuz if u noticed the left rear wheel landed first , it should be taken in consideration , the reaction to the impact ., but lol, i don't think the stuntman is going to redo it :D
@xPyroxx I'm actually a mechanical engineering technician, so I have a good understanding of engineering. However, I am a tradesman, so I am constantly fixing engineering mistakes. It's quite annoying spending months on end correcting a simple math mistake or whatever the problem was. Engineers are great, don't get me wrong, but they aren't "all that and a bag of potato chips"
@xPyroxx Well they skipped a lot of the calculus, so it is extremely hard to form an opinion on that subject. I was saying that as a generality...more poking fun at engineers than anything.
although it crashed like a sack of sh*t, while it was in the air it did do a full 360 barrel roll (watch it again. pause play pause play ) so i would say it was a success
