Typical shithead Republican—truth counts for nothing. If lying left and right gets you to sucker dumbasses into believing your effed-up cause, no matter how utterly anti-American the lies are, then so much the better.

Those blips actually have purpose. Mid-air, the rotational inertia of the tires can be used to adjust the attitude of the truck, just like a dirt bike.

I was already noticing how he was tapping those little riffs on the gas when he was airborne early in the run, just for the sheer hell (and crowdpleasing) of it. Also when he used that one wheel to gun himself back to the ground. These guys are so attuned to their vehicles and to where they are spatially.

you literally just summed up monster trucking. i think very little of it is prepared beforehand. it’s mostly just a summation of ‘hold my beer and watch this’(of course with sober drivers),and ‘when in doubt throttle out’, with just a touch of finesse.

Nuclear winters are even better because presumably they will come with associated steep declines in populations around the globe so even if per-person emissions don’t go down, total emissions will be but a tiny fraction of pre-apocalypse

Monster Truck drivers are one of the most under-appreciated pilots in motorsport.

Ryan and his brother Adam are two of the quickest thinking drivers in monster trucks. They both posses an uncanny ability to improvise on the fly and do some completely ridiculous things. They’re also two of the most creative guys on the circuit. Ryan may not have planned to do a moonwalk right there, but you can be…

Honestly, I’m more impressed by the fact that it looked completely unplanned and he just saw an opportunity and went with it, as opposed to him having already planned it out. That takes some quick thinking to go from accident avoidance to “holy crap I’m doing a handstand!”

Nuclear winter can help achieve the same goals

The good news is that emissions don’t affect the ozone layer, and my calculations show that if we can get enough people doing sweet burnouts we can block enough sunlight to offset global warming. It’s science.

The optics look bad because of the implied cluelessness, but the point of environmentally friendly cars that are more efficient and with less emissions isn’t to outlaw performance cars or stop making them.

The powerful want us to be eco friendly, so they don’t have to.

Whenever anyone says “I could have anyone I wanted” you know they are delusional and you should very very quickly run very far away.
