Bad Habit Monster Truck Jumps To A New Guinness World Record
Joe Sylvester of Bad Habit Monster Truck Racing from Ohio, US, has a habit (we would say its a good habit) of pulling off dangerous stunts in his monster trucks. He is most well known for his record breaking jumps, the first of which he set in 2010.
In his 1,400 HP, 2006 Cadillac Escalade turned monster truck, Sylvester jumped a distance of 208 feet, which was then the longest distance jump for a monster truck. However, Sylvester's Bad Habit lost its title to another monster truck, which managed to acheive a distance of 214 feet and 8 inches.
Now, we fast forward to earlier this month, when Sylvester had prepared himself to regain his lost title. The Bad Habit monster truck he used this time was a modified RAM. In the video below you can watch Sylvester speed up to a ramp at 137 km/h and jump a distance of 237 feet, six inches, thus managing to set a new Guinness World Record and reclaim his title.
The stunt is not without drama though and has a nail biting finish. It also turns out that the speed of 137 km/h is just 1 mph slower than the land speed record for a monster truck.
