Metallica530 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 landing on cars seems a little dangerous to me. but o well. Softer than landing on a stadium floor. I'm sure one of the foam pits Pastrana uses wouldn't hold up to a ten thousand pound truck, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd908 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 landing on cars seems a little dangerous to me. but o well. Exact opposite of what you're thinking... he's protected in that cab from debris with the Lexan and visor on the helmet, so he's good. It's a very soft landing for the truck from a high jump like that, plus adding in the downward force from the front axle from doing a fast forward rotation like that, cars will help cushion that impact even more.

dd908 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Didnt see lexan all around cage. The Lexan is in places where it needs to be. It's safe enough for him to where it'll pass USHRA or even MTRA tech inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm kinda hoping that they'll lower it a bit for the show, or else this thing is gonna be stiffer than Rock Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd908 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 New truck called Goin' Big (or Go N Big, not sure how it's spelled): God, I hope they valved those shocks properly... that truck will probably ride nice and stiff if they're running upper 200s on pressure...

Sergeant Politeness Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 New driver/owner of Illuminator is Jeffery Gottwald out of Atlanta, his first show was this past weekend: Hopefully I get to see them sometime later this year, the Maryville show is only a couple hours away and it would be fitting since that was Jay's last show with the truck. Also newcomer Rick Steffens will be taking the reigns of the original five finger death punch Samson this summer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Jerry Beck (the owner) was asking around for ideas on names, but I don't know what's happening with that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
