Evel Knievel, he was the man. He was a mad man with a lot of broken bones and other issues but when I was a kid, he was THE man. Evel made a living jumping his motorcycle over things. Sometimes he walked away, sometimes he didn't either way we watched and then went outside and got on our bicycles and started making ramps.

Seeing motorized vehicles jump off ramps over and onto things has always held a strange fascination for me and most members of the male gender. We are attracted to vehicles jumping things like moths are attracted to flames. Now with this video I see that semi-trucks can fly. I can't wait to see what kind of records these bad boys will be setting. If you think it's impressive that a jet airplane can fly, wait until you see this truck.
