Move over, Ken Block. You're not the only one making amazing and crazy car stunt videos these days. Just take a look at the newest video from seven-time national off-road racing champion BJ Baldwin, Recoil 4. Baldwin takes a Toyota Tundra trophy truck to Cuba for some crazy jumps, drifts, and donuts.
You can't beat a spark-throwing burnout for an intro for a video, and it doesn't disappoint from there. This one even gets a semblance of a plot. Or at least a reason for making the run. Not something you'd expect from a video like this. It's a neat way to show off Baldwin's sponsor logos too, but if you want to skip it, fast forward from 15 seconds in until about 1:30.
That's when the real star shows up. An 850 hp Toyota Tundra bodied trophy truck. Baldwin rips through the streets of Havana, including an amazing 58 m on some tight streets. The massive jumps really show off the amazing suspension articulation of trophy trucks, as does driving over a few dozen logs. I'm just not sure why he adjusts his lights before driving over the logs.
He leaves the city and drives through tunnels, the beach, and even through a campfire, before arriving at the party he's "late" for. It's seven minutes of some great stunt driving, and that Cuban sun looks amazing, especially to any of you looking out the window at a blizzard or freezing rain today like I am.
