Holy shit!!!~!!!!

I gotta feeling those vehicles were actually moving forward. Then again, the technology could be that good.

Revisiting and checking out the background, I think they were moving forward. Kool though. Thx.

Behind the Scenes: Van Damme's Epic Split

The amazing thing to me is the fact that they are driving backwards towing trailers! Anyone who has ever tried to back up with a trailer on knows what I'm talking about.

Certainly, it helps that the hitch is in front of the rear axle, 5th wheel style, but it's still quite a feat!

I remember the fun we used to have in the army teaching guys (it was always guys in those days) to back up a 5-ton truck with a 155mm howitzer on the back. But they got good enough to run competitions where they drove through a course of pylons without touching them.

I remember a few years ago that Van Damme went on a talkshow and shared with the world his secret for firm buttock muscles - he clenched them on and off, all day, when at rest, etc. Of course the press had a field day with this. So the Volvo ad was his way of getting revenge - as in "you may have laughed - but can you do this?"
