Epic Bus Jump From 1980

[Mach 1 Club]

It is rare that a YouTube video can have seven minutes of total awesomeness but this one does. This is footage of a pre-race stunt filmed at Bristol in 1980. The stunt is simple, jumping an old school bus over 20 parked motorcycles with helmets! There is action, flying school buses, unintentional humor, and porn star mustaches a-aplenty.

The 26-year old man piloting the bus said that a physicist had consulted with him on how to make the bus clear the bikes. Turns out that physicist was his father in law! If you think that's good, you need to watch the whole thing because every second is great.

How good is it? Cale Yarborough is on camera saying, "I wouldn't get out of the electric chair to get into that bus!"
