How do they practice this? Seriously they must have practiced this a few times before shooting the video and they must have made a mistake or two like maybe dropping the wheel or a tool. I’d love to see the behind the scene bloopers video. [YouTube]

I know it’s dangerous stunt, but at the same time it’s friggin Awesome !!!
BTW, that’s a catchy tune. What does it mean ?
They drive very slow, like between 20-30km/h and if u fell from that you wouldn’t get that much hurt, just bruises.
so technically it’s safe stunt, not that dangerous.
Yes completely safe, they don’t even need protective gear
Maybe these wheelies seem safe and fun to immature spoiled rich brats who have nothing better to do then play with expensive toys. Maybe they should go study, work, pray instead of showing off. Well they are Saudi shabob……..
At this speed you sure will get hurt, specially if it fell without the tires.
but yes, Amazing
Yea I’ve seen this a while with my friends, but one of them noted a very strange thing: why aren’t the airborne tyres rotating????
*a while back
Okay, I’ll try to be logical…
– FJ Crusier can be 4wd or rear 2wd
– I assume the one driven here is using rear 2wd
Now what is known, in most used car differentials (open or limited slip) if one of the wheels need less torque to turn it will spin for sure, so the flying wheel should be spinning!
so…
I assume they modified the handbrake in this car. They loosen the handbrake on the wheel touching the ground and fastened it on the flying one.
The trick is to apply the handbrake the moment the wheels fly in the air, the limited slip diff (standard on 2wd) will send enough power (not all of it) to the wheel on the ground to keep the car moving while the flying wheel is fixed by braking power
To make my case even more believable, check between 20 to 28 seconds when the car is lifted, the front flying wheel will spin freely while the back one is locked in place.
Another point, the speed is very slow, so handbrake should be able to hold the wheel on such a speed
btw I’m not a mechanic, let’s hope I’m right 😉
Hmmm… Yea that kinda makes sense, thanks! I wish we could ask them lol
its much more simple than that… think of it this way, when you go offroading, the smart 4*4 power distribution system sends more power to the tires with more grip and traction. clearly here only the right side tires are gripping.. sending all the power to them. The other two in the air have have no grip, so no power sent to them.
seen it before, not impressed… wanna impress me change the oil & filter
Lol !
Dare Devils & Amazing skills
Muppets!
Am I the only one who thinks this is really impressive?
LOL this is the video i was telling you about
