**low12lightning** · 12-17-2007, 01:49 AM

Here is a picture as promised of the project if have been working on for the last 2 months. Legally i can't show you any other photos, or tell you what happened exactly when we test jumped the truck. However i can promise you that there were some pretty spectacular jumps. Make sure you are watching ESPN new years eve midnight west coast time to see it live. Here is what Red Bull is showing http://www.redbullusa.com/mime/11975...1/1440x900.jpg

i think as the front wheels go off the kicker drops which would cause the rear wheels to want to come under the front of the truck and allow it to back flip just my 2 cents

Pretty close, but the rear wheels drive hard once the front wheels are in the air, to start rotation.

I've got my hands tied in this situation. I can't say much about what really happened, because of all the media involved. We have reporters calling our shop all day asking about what happened, and how bad Rhys's injuries are. Everything you read on Redbull's site is true. We did a few backflips that i feel were perfect and would have carried out if he had landed on the intended dirt landing ramp. I and a few others from the shop will still be in Vegas on newyears to represent the team. Since i can't show any more pictures here is one i found that has already been posted. If you don't get alittle blood flowing to your johnson after looking at this, your not a motorsports fan.
