Stunt Driver Somehow Nails 166-Foot Jump With Semi Truck, Destroys World Record

What did you do on Saturday? Watch a ballgame? Maybe crack open a few beers? Whatever you did, it was beyond lame compared to what Gregg Godfrey accomplished.

The daredevil set a new world record by jumping a semi truck (a freakin’ semi truck!) 166 feet. In case you’re wondering, the previous record was only 62 feet. That’s nuts.

As if that isn’t crazy enough, Godfrey went up to 70 mph before taking off. Imagine launching off of a giant jump at that speed with a semi truck? No thank you.

Here’s the video of the amazing feat, capped off by a beautiful fishtail spin at the end.

Here’s another look, courtesy of Godfrey’s Instagram account:

Got the record at a 160ft. I meant to only go 140. So stoked for @tgodfrey155 for go over 200ft in his @polarisrzr thanks to everyone for your support @godfreyclan @fox @polarisrzr @hcrracing @alpinestars @husqvarna_usa @mcboatcompany @official_evel_knievel @mastercraftthrowdown @gavgodfrey455 @ethenroberts @prgodfrey255 @chansgodfrey @kynliegodfrey @megsgodfrey @skinnypete155
