There are few things more American than jumping a semi-truck in front of a crowd of cheerful onlookers.
Gregg Godfrey shattered the world record on Friday for the longest semi-truck jump — a whopping 166 feet in the air — at Evel Knievel Days, an extreme sports festival in Butte, Montana.
Godfrey set a record in 2008 with a 50-foot jump, which was then broken in 2014 with a jump of 83 feet and 7 inches. (That jump had an attached trailer.)
Although the jump is impressive enough, Godfrey ended his stunt with the perfect parallel parking job.
