Some people aren't very smart when it comes to flying a vehicle. All rhinos want to nose dive really bad. We were jumping one at the coast, and you had to just about pin it, then let off right before landing to keep it level.

I've seen this video running around a few months back here's a different view...

He didn't let off the throttle til he left the ramp....he should have given himself an extra 100ft start.

If he would have keep the rear wheels spinning hard tha ass end wouldnt have come up on him so badly, and he likely would have saved er...

Rule #1: Don't let off the throttle.
The Ridge Runner was very prone to nose diving when dumping the throttle, not that I was really comfortable staying on the gas either.

when i jump the RR i just launch on the gas hard. i never hit a jump aproach at more than 3/4 throttle so i still have something left to accelerate up the ramp gettin the nose up. i have almost perfected it. a couple more trips to the track and i will have it down.

You just said the key word, track. It's funny how different out in the open can be. Riding in the sand dunes the first time on a fourwheeler was a totally new experience from the riding grounds and the little track at my cousin's house. Nothing is ever the same, nor is it lined up right, but just hit it, adjust for it, and hang on.

I guess I'm just out of touch on this jumping BS.I've always like staying on the ground over stuff like that.Damn sure never will build a ramp to do it anyway!What a waste of time,money and a perfectly good buggy.Pretty damn funny though!

Ahhhh yes, the old "Stunt Junkies" video. I believe the show was cancelled before this aired, or maybe it was just after who knows. No idea why, but the guy wanted to set some distance jump record in a rhino. I'll never understand why people sink so much money into modifying those things.
