Yeah but the angle of the video makes it look like a smaller jump than it really is. The pic is from a better angle.
That is one HELL of a jump and if you come up short - you hurt BIG time!

I've been a member of Glamisdunes.com for a few years and that was posted there a couple weeks ago.I've probably watched it 200 times.Just plain awesome.The sound of that V8 is just nasty!!
Every year someone posts about a buggy jump of the canal but it has never happened.I've seen pictures of buggies crashed in the canal,but not from jumping it.Finally someone got the nads to do it.

I'll see if I can find something.It's usually from night riding and misjudging the driving line.I'm sure alot of beer is involved as well.
