Car jump video - real or fake??
I think of myself as ok at figuring it out, but this seems like the same jump from different angles. I guess it could be a fairly elaborate fake. Am I gullible for thinking this is even remotely possible?
What say you? |

From the acrobatics at the end, I think the car jump was not a problem for him. Very impressive.

First jump is without a crowd. Looks real to me, stupid, but real.

An NSX is a really low car. I can definitely see that being possible. I suspect it's real.
You need to be a really good athlete to pull that sort of thing off.

He definitely has the spring. He just needs to be 1/10th of a second off.

That looks to be real. There is another of the guy jumping an civic.
The Kobe Bryant one is fake.
