He had to go over 90mph they said to do the jump. 322ft.

The guy who was supposed to do a back flip in the redbull car got messed up in practice and didn't do it.

[Eren]

yea, saw the jump it was insane! that woulda been sweet if the guy in the red bull car did a flip!

[McGRP01]

Wow! :eek:

[ridea]

insane, it looks like hes gonna go over for a little bit but he pulls it back, cant imagine what that must feel like, mixture between insane adrenalin rush and 'ah im gonna die!' its a long time in the air.

He pulled it off three times in practice:

The incident took place after Millen successfully completed the flip three times into a cushion of cardboard boxes. It was the fourth and final jump test that landed him in the hospital.

that is awesome.

[monkeyboy424]

i was there... it was just about the coolest thing i have ever seen in person.


he was hauling so much ass.

[Trekrules]

that jump is so insane:eek:

[dump]

That's great... happy for him.

Btw, what was the deal with the second jump? The clip made no mention of the distance, so I assume it wasn't as far as the first?

no, you could see by the yellow distance poles it was well shorter. he started drifintg left right after take off on the second jump

[SteezyWeezy]

what a disapointment, i opened this expecting it to be rennie hucking again :disgust1:

[Dylan Dean]

wasn't at the new years deal.. but he was practicing & apparently "unofficially" set the record at the Elsinore MX track here in so cal. I was suppose to assist on a photo shoot there, but the scheduling kept getting changed due to high winds. unfortunately i was never able to catch him jumping... the guy i was working with wasn't able to make it that particular morning. The day we did end up going, Palmer showed up to watch as well. pretty cool seeing him again.

The guy i was working with also filmed a bit of the truck backflip. i never got to see the footage, but he said it was pretty insane! you can catch small glimpses on redbull's site. he said the set up was a lot like a mx backflip... roll in & then BRRRAAAAAPPPPT up the jump... & land like butter! Would have been intense to see that for sure!

[SPINTECK]

I saw that on your webite today- very nice find. Keep up the good work!

[Huck Banzai]

Thes kids today.

WoooOOt

[jvnixon]

Thanks! And Bullcrew, if you taught him that why wasn't he doing heel clickers/supermans over the jump let alone wearing a helmet :D

[dhmike]

pretty sweet .

[DBR X6 RIDER]

That's nuts! I was thinking Rennie as well - it's an Aussie, at least...imagine that.

[I Are Baboon]

I saw that clip at espn.com. Freakin sweet. It seemed like he was in the air for five minutes. :D

[deadatbirth]

yeah too bad Rhys broke a bunch of vertebrae. from all the tests that i saw, he stuck most of them...except for the last one.
they also said Madison jumped 120 feet when he was 8.

[seth505]

ya maddo jumped i think 330 or so in his unofficial jump before that practicing. He wants to jump 360ish I hear
