Watch: world record monster truck jump

Well hot diggity, them good ol' monster truck boys done gone broke a world rekid...

Yep, Team Summit monster truck driver Dan Runte set a new Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a monster truck. He launched Bigfoot #18 214 ft. 8" at the 2012 Indianapolis 4-Wheel Jamboree.

Runte's truck is described as "the pinnacle of Bigfoot technology" by its builders. Underneath the 2011 Desert Race Truck body there's a 9.25-litre engine running on methanol, eight Nitrogen-charged shocks, and four Firestone 66x43x25 tyres

Now watch. Then shout YEEEEHHHHHAAAAAWWWW!
