Ok. The first time I took a look at this I thought it was insane. Who in their right mind would let a kid take a high powered dune buggy and drive it flat out like a maniac? I mean, for God’s sake the guy has to put a couple of massive blocks of foam in the seat just so the kid can sit there!
But then again, when you watch what this kid can do with that dune buggy I suppose it might not be that crazy after all. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t hop in and do this.

14 Year Old Crashes Dad’s BRAND New Mustang
As a car lover, this is just painful to watch. But as a guy, it’s freakin hilarious!
Here is the setup… some guy literally just brought a brand new Ford Mustang home from the dealership. His family is out in the driveway looking at it and comparing it to his old classic...
Unicycle Bastards Invade Portland
Thanks again to Jimbeau for supplying us all with this crazy unicycle video of one of his friends who is basically a member of a unicycle gang called the Unicycle Bastards.
Some filmmakers hung around with them for a couple of days and made a short video of their crazy death-defying actions, but for some reason...
Ken Block Practices Gymkhana Autocross
First of all, thanks to Perry Quinn over at Lijit for turning me onto Ken Block!
Ken Block is a driver for Subaru, and apparently whenever they need someone to do something completely insane, they give him a ring. He has gained worldwide notoriety for his exploits outside of rally competition, having successfully jumped his...

Yeah that’s pretty impressive. I’m pretty sure that I could not do that. But maybe the kid has some experience (he sure had the clothes for it).
What parent wouldn’t let their boy do that? Besides with the roll bar and all the soft sand what can happen?
Normally, something like this would upset me – I can’t stand it when my kids are on 4wheelers! But – adding in the seatbelt, the helmet, and the rollbar – makes me feel pretty darn good right now! Oddly, you posted this right after a friend in Illinois had a young neighbor (10yrs old) in a near-fatal accident on a stupid 4wheeler – so I couldn’t help thinking how much better off that boy would be now had he been in a dune buggy instead!
Yeah this kid is awesome. We have a 6 year old doing donuts in our Hayabusa powered dune buggy. We will post a video soon!
Hi, Im his dad. In all fairness, I trained him to do it for quite a while before we took this video. Still, its quite difficult, and I’m very proud of him. He was 10 years old when we took this video. The car has a 500 horsepower modifed Subaru WRX with large ball bearing turbo and intercooler.
Wow… that looks / sounds like a lot of fun!
Hey Craig, I take it you know a lot about sand rail, I was wondering if you know anything about the vw rails? And if you do, could you tell me if someone can put a bus transmission on a closed axle rear end?
Haha – that looks positively insane. Thanks for sharing this video. It requires a certain amount of skill to make a wheelie on any four wheeler :-)
