To me the stunt was that they had so many vehicles jumping in such close proximity and that they were jumping over each other while in the air. I think at one point you had four layers of vehicles, each occupying a piece of the sky.

The stunt wasn't synchronized jumping, it was constructing the ramps so that each type of vehicle flew through a trajectory that wouldn't intersect that of a different vehicle, thus allowing them to have multiple airborne objects without any midair collisions.
