How far can a stock ranger fly? (see vid)

Dunno if this has been posted before, but it's always fun to watch other people do stupid things and tear their sh!t up. This guy's lucky to be alive.

Yup, it almost looks like it can't be real. His broken nose and new hairlip are real, though.

With stunts like that most of them will be dead.

Natural selection is a wonderful thing!

[ridefast]

:(

If he didn't make it outta that, he woulda been up for a Darwin Award.

[grapehead]

damn, just wearing a helmet he would have been fine.

wow i wish my truck could do that . . . . . . :driver:

I think he did too...

They can fly a long way. It's that landing thing that is hard to get just right.

Not that I would know (haha) but the coils springs on rangers tend to pop out on a hard landing and they tend to knock the front brake lines off when they pop out.

that was pretty bad-ass. but, i mean at least wear a helment or something. that would have probably saved him the trip to the ER.

why not? I wanna seeeeeeeee :driver:

[neptco19]

It looks like he had a white helmet on when they zoom in him right after he landed, may just not have had a full face helmet....

lol, are we thinking of the same person going over a certain railroad crossing?

[danielsapp414]

yeah i remember that guy jumping his ranger 70 something feet in downtown raleigh on a daily basis....i'm going to try to find that video, ya'll will get a kick out of this idiot.

[RufusTheRam]

why not? I wanna seeeeeeeee
well, at the time he was a fireman/ems guy and was trying to be a hp or join the army and go torwards special forces so that sort of thing would have certainly been frowned upon had it gotten out.

probably wouldn't matter much now, he did a bunch of other stupid things to be "released" from his duties plus he lives in sc now.
i'm going to try to find that video
i doubt you'll be able to find it anywhere, as far as i know he had the only copy and only a few people saw it. i tried to talk him into letting me put up just the jump part of it and cutting out his little interview/description.

it was quite a sight, that ranger did things i never thought possible for a vehicle to do and still be driveable.

[Rich]

We're not talking about a certain someone who drove a black FJ80, would we?

[RufusTheRam]

who, jason? nah.

[ridefast]

actually, im the only one with the copy :huggy:

[Trebissky]

WEELLLLLLLL... cmon, post it up, then.

[RatLabGuy]

I'll host if need be - post 'er up, man!

[ridefast]

alright alright.....lemme try and find it for yall

[rbo1577186]

That was no doubt one of the coolest things I've ever seen, I thought I did a lot of stupid shit sometimes.....

[purpleTJchick]

It looks like he had a white helmet on when they zoom in him right after he landed, may just not have had a full face helmet....

I think it was an air bag

[sam(slim)]

I'm sure this clip was shot right after the words "Hold My Beer".

[RenegadeT]

I missed the part where Rosco P. Coltrane was chasing him. :D

[wflaw45]

damn, just wearing a helmet he would have been fine.

That, or "hey y'all, watch this."

[Banned User]

post the raleigh jumping video, im pretty sure ive taken the bronco over the same intersection and not known how bad it was, haha fun though.

[Akuma]

I think theres only two things to be said about that

1. Holy Shit

2. FS: Ford Ranger been wrecked selling b/c of stupidity

There are some railroad tracks in front of Apex Elementary that I get air off of everytime I drive my friend home from work.

Not during school hours though, don't worry... your kids are safe with me

[johnski]

Here's a K5 that didn't launch as far, but still got decent air:

That, or "hey y'all, watch this."

I think the actual phrase was a cobination. "Hold my beer and watch this".
