Offroading is fun and safe

My favorite part about this video is that there are at least four people who, for whatever reason, came to the conclusion that running a car up a 70-degree rock incline would be a good idea. I'm not sure what possesses ordinary people to try insane stunts like this, but my guess would be alcohol - lots and lots of alcohol. And possibly inbreeding.

This could end badly

I actually remember a time when motocross guys doing a backflip was considered completely nuts. That was like 5 years ago. Now, a backflip is considered par for the course.

Well, now race cars want to get into the mix as well. Yes, you read that right.

On New Year's Eve at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, some crazy dude named Rhys Millen will attempt the first ever - purposely performed - backflip of an off-road racing truck.

What's hilarious is that even Rhys has never done this, the photo above is a photoshop. But don't worry, he's qualified for it, right?

As Auto Blog notes: The experiment is no far stretch for Mr. Millen as he has performed many movie stunts behind the wheel, along with claiming Pike's Peak and Formula D titles.

Yes, because winning truck series titles is definitely the equivalent of launching your truck 3 stories into the air to do a backflip. I can't see any problem with that logic at all.

Anyway, if you're looking for a YouTube clip for your blog on January 1st, whatever transpires at this event is probably right up your alley.

The Arizona mascot needs pants

Here's the Arizona mascot trying to show off for some kids, when things suddenly get a little weird.

The screaming girl makes it even better.

I bet your mascot doesn't do flips off of towers

This is Jaxson, the Jacksonville Jaguars mascot. Unfortunately there's no sound, but it's still pretty good. It's been the fashion of late to have mascots jumping off high spots at stadiums to ride down some kind of rope system, but Jaxson takes it one step further, putting all other mascots to shame.
