DAYUM ;eekg;
Better him than me.
Looks like a Photoshop job with the contrast in vehicle amd background/foreground, but still crazy nevertheless. :) Scary!
Great pic! Definitely "photo chopped": the angle of the jump does not correspond to the rest of the environment. To get "air" like that (almost 45 degrees) the vehicle needs a launch pad of at least 60 degrees (not even insight), plus a speed of at least 45mph, which makes the landing almost impossible at an inclination of - 30 degrees without suffering a major "accident", a.k.a.
"wet spots on your clothing, inside and out, with possible trauma to your lower rear end..."
I guess I'm watching too much of the "New Detectives" series...;eeky;

No, it's not chopped. That pic I believe is frame taken from a video shot. It's been posted on the wire.
*edit* I searched and searched. Bumble-VX can you help out? I know I saw that video somewhere!
I can help out a little. I emailed Randii for the specifics. I do know it's not photo choped, as I remember you are right in saying it was from a video clip. Randii himself offered it for a calander. I let him know this was posted here, and that people thought it was a "edited" maybe he will step up to answer the questions.

*update to my post*
I was corrected in my belief that this is/was Randii.
My appologies in misleading the public.
Nope... not me. I try to avoid launching 2.5 tons of Uzi. :D
I'm guessing this is from East of the Mississippi? I wanna hear from the driver about THAT landing!
Randii
It's someone named B. Ackerson Anybody know him?
OK, I stand corrected. Please accept my appologies. I will stand back and also correct my former posts. I thought for sure I had seen this before with Randii's name attached to it.

Dang I hate being wrong. lol
Being wrong is part of the human condition... I'll admit to being at least as human as the next person. ;po;
Though I try to avoid catching air in my truck, I gotta say that this picture is AWESOME and part of me wishes that pic was me! :D The next few frames, though (the ones we don't see) make me glad that this wasn't my truck! ;eeko;

I had a rollcage in my old Amigo. I sure hope he did. ;)
