Yeah, now that I watch it a couple more time... why would you end the jump part of the video mid-flight... FAKE!
There's another one I saw yesterday where a RR climbed a sand hill and jumped over the top and landed. Clears Taco's in a single bound!

The last video is doable, but I wouldn't dare try to jump that far unless on sand. The video from Brazil is just someone being incredibly stupid. Looks like he got as much speed as possible thinking it's like a video game....except in the real world not so much!

Although I do think a Trophy Truck may have survived that...production truck? nope.

I saw an older video one time, this kid took a brand new F150 Raptor and jumped a ramp, landed on all 4 tires but it hit so hard it set off every airbag lol.

Yeah, that video made the F150 Raptor famous as it spread far and wide for how well the truck actually held up.

First video still looks very fake to me, notice how quickly the RR in the second video starts to nose dive due to the heavy front weight bias. These things will not fly flat like a trophy truck (that has it's engine mid-mounted). I would think it would almost do a front flip if launched as high as it did in that first video. Not to say someone didn't jump one and crash it, but I don't believe it flew that flat. Just my opinion of course.
