Polaris RZR Behind the Scenes and Bloopers Video Is Nothing but Pure Adrenaline

There is off-road, and then there is Polaris RZR off-road. When negotiating rough terrain in a - let's call it "regular" - vehicle, any instructor will tell you to go slow. Nice and easy does it, stay in control and try to feel the available traction.
But the Polaris RZR can't do slow. It's that type of vehicle that wants to have fun, and it wants to have it right now. If you've ever seen a terrier jumping at a ball it will obviously never reach until it falls flat on the ground, exhausted, then you can get a pretty good impression of what the Polaris RZR is like.

A car - or rather a vehicle - such as this deserved a promotional clip to match, so the people at UTVUnderground.com did their best to come up with the most ridiculous stunts for the RZR to perform. It's not like it had a choice, but its driver probably did. And if he had chosen to stay at home that day, nobody would have had anything against his decision, especially since one of the tricks involved jumping over five large American locomotives. Or the equivalent of 90 feet in rusted steel.

That was by far the most dangerous of all the attempted stunts, but when you see the final video, you get the impression everything went just fine. This clip showing us the failed attempts paints a very different story, showing that RJ Anderson, the pilot crazy enough to do all this, was actually risking his life all this time. Yes, he's in a roll cage that you can probably build a skyscraper on top and it still wouldn't collapse, but the sheer violence of the G-forces involved must be devastating. RJ Anderson's chiropractor must be rubbing his hands in delight as he's watching this clip.

Seriously, this vehicle has fallen from great heights and rolled more times than I can count. But the suspension would just go all the way down, then back up and that was it - pedal to the floor and on to the next challenge. Just dial up the volume a little and hit "play," you won't regret it.
