Car Jumping in New Zealand Has Become a Tradition

This year, Team No Team continued the rally driving/car jumping tradition that was begun a few years ago, and they upped the ante this year by destroying having fun with multiple vehicles.  There's an excellent set of photos at Warner Nickerson's website, and we've selected a few of the best to display here.  The white wagon is a car that Warner gave to Jon Olsson as a gift.  A nice gesture from the technician to his athlete, and they surely both enjoyed the comfy ride.  Jimmy Cochran appears to have lost some teeth at this camp, which gives him the perfect look for this sort of activity.  Cue banjo music...now:





The parting shot, from Facebook.


Highly recommend you check out the coverage at Warner's blog, and also at Jon's blog. Video is forthcoming, hopefully soon, and the opening shot on Jon's blog is one of the most epic pictures of all time.  Full speed off the jump, and notice where the hood of the car is.

Remember kids, don't try this at home, or anywhere else for that matter.
