was Dennis Anderson driving GD? it would be cool if it was Pablo Huffaker driving also. that was most likely Courtney Jolly driving Pastrana 199.

either that was Team Redbull who was behind this or this is all a callaboration. would of been better to see Ken Block and his STI SCCA Rally America car do a jump. but he was off doing another record breaking jump lol at the Winter X Games.

I would give my left nut to drive the grave digger. For those who have never been to a proper monster truck event, go.

that's Ken Block's crazy ass. this is the same guy who did a 90ft. jump in the same car. and to think, this is the founder of a damn shoe company and he's one of the best drivers in SCCA Rally America.

My head has just exploded.

Also, Grave Digger is one of my childhood heroes. I remember catching a monster truck event in Worcester back when it was called the Centrum Center, and naturally the fan favorite obliterated all the other vaguely forgettable trucks. Then Robosaurus lit up amidst a backdrop of lasers, and my tender 14-year old skull had been thoroughly annihilated by a plethora of epicness. images/smilies/thumbup.gif

The Ken Block snowboarding video rocks pretty hard too, BTW.

That opening ad is great, although I'm fairly sure the 'quick! do it before the cops arrive!' bit at the beginning is all fake and acted.

What pickup is that in there? Is it Red Bull Racing-specific, or is based on a stock model?

The RedBull truck looks like a Baja 1000 style trophy truck.
Which the only part based on the stock model would be the fiberglass shell.
