Drive a monster truck

“After getting a general feel for how this thing turns, it's time for a donut. Meents calls me on the radio and tells me to just turn both the front and rear wheels to their max angles and ease onto the gas. Once the truck starts rotating, I can floor it. That sounds easy enough, but as the truck spins faster and faster, I get totally discombobulated. I want to make it stop, but hitting the brakes is a bad idea. Meents is yelling in my ear to simply lift off the throttle, but the truck is so loud I can't hear him. Next thing I know, I'm up on two wheels for a few revolutions before the whole thing dumps over on its side, pushing a ton of mud into the cabin. I think I'm going to throw up. [...] I have to build as much speed as possible and square up with the jump, which is tough to do when the course is so slick. Finally, I have to remember to lift off the gas just before landing so I don't, you know, blow the transmission. I've jumped my own Baja race car plenty of times, albeit maybe four feet in the air. This time, I'm going big. I hit the jump and see nothing but sky for what feels like an eternity. The truck levels off and soon drops squarely onto all four wheels.”

“Starting out… I roll over my first jump… focusing on the fact that I’m about to launch over a full-size car. The key is to stay on the gas… otherwise you’ll land front wheels first and uh… it’s going to hurt. Well, of course, I let off the gas half-way through… and this was my first landing. Ouch. As far as that rear steering goes… it took me a few laps, and crab walking over jumps… to time it right. But it really started to click as my ride was nearing an end. ZACH MASKELL: “My heart is throbbing, I’m shaking, this thing’s violent man… there’s so much to keep in mind. But it is a blast.”
