Default Stuntjunkies: Rally car jump + more

http://dsc.discovery.com/beyond/play...upId=164950249

The rally car jump should be the first video on the playlist. Ken Block jumps his STi rally car 171 feet. There are some other cool videos on there as well.

This was just a promotional stunt. I agree that Finland is the real deal but come on, jumping 171 feet in a car is pretty cool and pretty damn crazy.

I saw this the other night on Discovery.. Cool show, but doing a car jump with a Rally car is barely a stunt..

Crazy people have been jumping old American Buicks and Cadillacs for decades.. If any smart person wanted to jump a car, the safest bet would be to do it in a Rally prepped vehicle.

I think the coolest stunt was the guy who built a skateboard ramp with rail going off of a cliff, and just flew off of the cliff after grinding the rail.
