Kind of looks like that buggy that lawn darted on the vid on this site a while back.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Of course it can jump high. The suspension ride height is set up at full droop for a very long bump travel. Bet the thing sux otherwise. It does appear to land nicely tho.

It is that same buggy.

He tore up his orginal suspension arms and with them his original shocks bent up. So he completely redid the suspension and made a few frame mods. Made TONS of parts from scratch.

He was even making his own Heim joints for the suspension if you go to "That other site" and follow his rebuild of it. His metal skills and love of big air are both impressive.

Huge air!! But he loses all his speed after each one, not the quickest on the track that way.

I aint seen the newest video above yet (dialup out here) but I have noticed that he seems to like those kinda jumps more.

But I WOULD like to see him and that machine out in the dunes! Or for that matter on a speed track type race (again I do not know if that video at the front of this post shows that)

LOL nope not as far as I know. I have seen SEVERAL people ask though!

My fav are like three different people on MBN have posted a video of his rail jumping and follow it up with:

"I want plans for this buggy but I want it to seat two and be four wheel drive!"  "I have bout $4000 to spend. Can I build it for that?"

One guy did say he had around $6000.00 I think to spend.....  rofl

I sometimes wonder if Nicken (The buggy builder) has ever been to the dunes. So many have not and of course we here mostly all know that one trip to the sand hooks most for life.

I bet one trip and he would be going for the paddles.

It was obviously very well designed and built for the dedicated task of jumping. Fantastic results for the objective. Probably the worst handling car in the world through whoops  and trails and such tho.
