X Games Hot Wheels Double Dog Dare Loop … They Live!
At this past weekend’s X Games in Los Angeles, California, the two drivers simultaneously traversed a pair of 66-foot-tall loops at an exact speed of 52 MPH, managing to pull 7 Gs as they ran up and over the two life-sized tracks.
After several practice runs last week, the safety nets were removed as the throngs of X-Games spectators watched the dynamic duo scale the track, complete the loops and perform an egregious jump at the end.

Thats amazing!
Full-scale Hot Wheels — yet more proof that the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!
No way! Were there giant kids running the cars, too?
That’s awesome!
I watched that broadcast last weekend — too cool!
The cars either weigh next to nothing or they must have been aided by something in the middle of the tracks as they looped (powerful magnets or whatever).
“it’s all ball bearings these days”…
I don’t hink magnets, i think t’s just straight up physics…
did you see how the cars “bounced” when they did the jump at the end..those supensions must have been soo stiff…they broke the whole thing down on the Sprts Science show…pretty cool..
