    That looked so natural. I’ve only jumped my VX one time and it landed like a Pre runner, you've got to love those shocks.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Thanx Moncha (Scott) for the extra viewpoints. I watched the "slow-mo" version many times. It appears that the VX landed perfectly on the departure ramp; thereby making the landing somewhat smooth. However, AK Falco stated that the second attempt (which was not video taped) was done at a faster speed and the VX landed beyond the departure ramp and onto the "flat" road itself, resulting in a very violent landing.

    Kinda' reminds me of the Evil Kneival motorcycle jumps-- when landing on the departure ramps, everything was good; but, going too fast/too far and landing on the "flat" road made things much more violent.

    All in all, a cool vid. I might consider doing something like that with a rental car or "your" VX; however, I ain't doing it with mine!!! Now, throw me your keys!!!
