There is no great scientific reason to try a back flip in a truck, but it is pretty damn cool. We can proclaim that was the best jump of last year (it was done on New Year's Eve, still in 2008,) definitely beating out even the Dukesfest General Lee jump.

We may get to see something like this again in the future because everyone knows that truck flipping is just like gymnastics -- you have to stick the landing.
