Driver of monster truck creates a buzz by his back flip
April 4th, 2011 - 7:40 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLas Vegas, April 4 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A daring truck driver pulled off an almost impossible trick when he back-flipped his 12-ton truck during the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas, US.
Driver Ryan Anderson’s stunt which is considered the first in the world has shot to prominence on the Internet. So far it has received as much as 250,000 views on YouTube and the numbers could only keep increasing.
The trick was initially thought to be impossible at least with a Monster truck. Anderson sped his “Son-uva Digger” truck to an almost vertical ramp before pulling off the stunt. Once he got into the air, he made a complete flip before landing the truck. Anderson is the son of Dave Anderson and “Son-uva Digger” is the predecessor of the famous Grave Digger truck that Dave used.
More impressive about Anderson’s trick was the way that he landed after the flip. The crowd was on their legs and gave a roar for the performance of Anderson. Anderson defied an earlier setback to pull off the trick.
Back in December of 2010, Anderson crashed a dirt bike with his trucker friend, Cole Venard, and the pair ended up in the hospital.
