FORD RANGER RAPTOR USED TO BREAK SIDE WHEELIE WORLD RECORD

[WOADKIL]

Seven-time British motorsport champ and stunt driver Paul Swift is no stranger to piloting all sorts of Blue Oval machinery, driving a Focus ST up Goodwood Festival of Speed’s hill climb and even using a Ford Ranger to pull 15 campers to show off its towing capabilities. Recently, Swift pulled off yet another wild feat when he used a brand new Ford Ranger Raptor to set a new Guinness Book of World Record for driving on just two wheels.

WHO'S DRIVING ???? He's slid all the way over to the passenger side !!! (Giggle Giggle)

I always wonder what kind of modifications to the suspension are needed to be able to support a vehicle like that.

They do it in Saudi and UAE all the time and without a ramp. Just load up some friends, everyone moves to one side and swerve the vehicle.

^^ Those guys are nutballs!! and can be reckless as well.

I am assuming you dont air down your tires for this stunt

 

[RedRocker]

How to save wear on two of your tires, sidewalls on the other two, not so much.

HAHAHA! That is one of the poorest attempts at a fake video that I've seen in a while. I didn't realize you could slide across asphalt like it was ice. Hilarious. I think even I might actually be able to make that level of video in Photoshop.

Second video looks pretty real, though.

Found the Ranger video. It doesn't look easy.

Is this one where the truck snap rolls at 100mph and body parts are thrown up in the air everywhere? Or the one where they plow into bystanders on the side of road...and body parts go flying to the air everywhere? Fnnutcases...

No exaggeration there.
Not too many years ago YouTube had a lot of those wreaks unrestricted. Pretty gross. People had to have been killed. I guess that sort of thing is just not that bad over there?
