Because these videos are now about pastrana they are way more aggressive and less about precision skill. I like it, a nice change of pace.

Unbelievable that the car was able to make it without major mechanical failure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

It was really cool until they brought Super Douche Cleetus into the Video ( I won the 14 Hours of Sebring ChumpCar race with him as a Teammate but didn't stick around for the Award Ceremony because of that Clown)

Gotta admit that the "Duke Boys" and the General Lee came to mind when Travis jumped the bridge.....but, when I thought back on my days watching the show, I remember the General Lee doing a nose dive more times than not when they cut to commercial. I know they destroyed a ton of cars in that show. Travis actually nailed these jumps....and I assume he was doing North of 130 when he hit them.
I felt the same as the poster above....it's a testament to this car's build that it actually survived both structurally and mechanically. I really remember thinking ....my 914 shifter has a little more play in it than the one in this Subaru. Also, I think it's pretty cool that people in the forum actually have some connections to this. Finally, Travis just resides on a different planet than most of us! |

43 year difference in technology.
Digital editing - that certainly wasn’t all shot in a single take. Rubber already on the roads from previous takes and practice runs. No way to know what was damaged between scenes. Modern materials and suspension tech. Cro—Mo cages, long travel dampers with custom damping. 800 Hp in a light weight chassis which was practically unobtainable in 70s. Jumps that are more choreographed than a Britney Spears video. Jumps computer modeled for vehicle specific approach & departure angles, speed, required to satisfy insurance and municipalities risk assessments. Still plenty of nose dive ![]() Meh . . . but that’s just me. Not like the days of Evel lining up ramps and angles by eye and then going for it. |
