This looks like the landing would hurt.

Better him than me.
Looks like a Photoshop job with the contrast in vehicle amd background/foreground, but still crazy nevertheless. Scary!

Great pic! Definitely "photo chopped": the angle of the jump does not correspond to the rest of the environment. To get "air" like that (almost 45 degrees) the vehicle needs a launch pad of at least 60 degrees (not even insight), plus a speed of at least 45mph, which makes the landing almost impossible at an inclination of - 30 degrees without suffering a major "accident", a.k.a.
"wet spots on your clothing, inside and out, with possible trauma to your lower rear end..."
I guess I'm watching too much of the "New Detectives" series...

No, it's not chopped. That pic I believe is frame taken from a video shot. It's been posted on the wire.
*edit* I searched and searched. Bumble-VX can you help out? I know I saw that video somewhere!

...because vinyl just sounds better!
I can help out a little. I emailed Randii for the specifics. I do know it's not photo choped, as I remember you are right in saying it was from a video clip. Randii himself offered it for a calander. I let him know this was posted here, and that people thought it was a "edited" maybe he will step up to answer the questions.

*update to my post*
I was corrected in my belief that this is/was Randii.
My appologies in misleading the public.

Improve the desert.... plant a Sierra Club Member!
Nope... not me. I try to avoid launching 2.5 tons of Uzi.
I'm guessing this is from East of the Mississippi? I wanna hear from the driver about THAT landing!
Randii
It's someone named B. Ackerson Anybody know him?
OK, I stand corrected. Please accept my appologies. I will stand back and also correct my former posts. I thought for sure I had seen this before with Randii's name attached to it.

Dang I hate being wrong. lol
Being wrong is part of the human condition... I'll admit to being at least as human as the next person.
Though I try to avoid catching air in my truck, I gotta say that this picture is AWESOME and part of me wishes that pic was me! The next few frames, though (the ones we don't see) make me glad that this wasn't my truck!

I had a rollcage in my old Amigo. I sure hope he did.
