This is how you jump a truck!

Finally found this pic of Robby Gordon jumping his baja truck at Glamis.

Dang that is cool!

Man, I got acrophobia just looking at it!
I guess it's OK so long as you don't look down....

......I'D need a Depends change after that jump.....and a good hospital to put old humpty dumpty back together.....those guys are going to get old one of those days and they are going to be really hurting when the weather changes or they have to get up on a cold rainey morning and go outside.....but when I look back-I guess it was worth it at the time.....Oh! to be young again.....geofkaye

"jumping does not hurt....its the landing that somtimes $ucks"

its all about shocks (suspension dampening) and timing; if your car suspension is set up right and your timing is ok the jumping (or landing) can be very smooth (if one thing is off....it will hurt and /or will be expensive

)

im not that big of a jumper myself (im kind of a control freak; i like my steering tires firmly on the ground ...at least for most of the time) but here is my favorite shot of our "R&D driver" (

) Ryan English (aka Flyin Ryan) jumping on a steep sidehill from one dune leg to the other;

.......while I have great appreciation for your efforts in the sand, I have personally pulled the top of the "Big Elim" hill in a Jeep with paddles consisting totally of pea gravel at "GravelRama" near Cleves, Ohio many years ago and decided I'd just as well enjoy the trail ride -[air time continues to freak me out] as It was days before I could move without the medication necessary to stop my screaming.....my body won't take the shocks anymore-dampened or otherwise because of foolish activities of my youth and later years up to 1996 when I broke my neck-back-pelvis-and I now have a reconstructed left arm.... I headed for the ground BUTT FIRST....that time I only fell 6' feet on to concrete.....I,like Supermam, have to be real careful and get my thrills watching others now......but I still live through the air time of others......geofkaye

That looks like he'll soon need a few parts. There's a break in his future...
