In the land of the Interwebz where exaggeration is the norm and idiocracy runs rampant, there lies this video: Monster Energy's Ballistic BJ Baldwin Recoil 2 - Unleashed in Ensenada, Mexico. I kid you not; this video contains the most ridiculous driving I've ever seen. Period.
Let me back up.
'Ballistic BJ Baldwin' is a five-time national off-road racing champion and driver of the Monster Energy Trophy Truck. BBB has more than 17 years of off-road racing under his belt with impressive back-to-back wins at The Best in The Desert Trophy Truck Championship in 2010 and 2011. His other wins include a 2006 and 2008 victory at the SCORE-International Trophy Truck competition. Needless to say, he lives up to his 'ballistic' title.
His latest publicity stunt comes a year after the first 'Recoil' flick. Unlike Hollywood, BBB's second Recoil totally outdid the first. There's more slow-motion suspension action happening here than a Stephen King book has suspense. If you've ever wanted to see an independent front suspension and a live rear axle with a long-arm kit work, this is your video.
BBB's 800-horsepower Chevrolet Silverado trophy truck careens through the little seaside town of Ensenada, Mexico, hitting incredible jumps and diving from impossible heights. Ensenada is no stranger to trophy trucks, however, as the town is home to the Baja 1000.
There's a bit of a story line to the whole sequence, if the ridiculous action doesn't enthrall you. So follow along for the most insane seven minutes of your life.
