Red Bull New Year No Limits

For New Years 2008, Red Bull had planned a massive stunt as part of the Red Bull Experiment. Professional driver and stunt man Rhys Millen was going to back flip a trophy truck. During testing and practice before December 31st Rhys over shot the landing pit and fractured 5 vertebrae. Since recovering Rhys has gone on to win the Red Bull World Drifting Championships, win the Tires.com Triple Crown, and finish 3rd overall in the 2008 Formula Drift season. Impressive for coming off a serious injury. 

Best of luck to Rhys and his team as they prepare to be the first to backflip a truck. Tune in on New Years eve 8pm pacific/11pm eastern time on ESPN to watch the event live from Las Vegas. I think its awesome to see people dust themselves off, get up, and try again. Without this spirit, how would we progress? Cheers Rhys.
