The "Fantasy Factory" maestro knows the significance of closing your eyes better than anyone else.
In 1974, actor Roger Moore courageously flipped his car over a murky river in the popular James Bond film, "The Man with the Golden Gun." It was a foolhardy stunt to say the least, so who better to re-create it than the king of wildly dangerous, gravity-defying tricks, Rob Dyrdek?
On Saturday, the skateboard legend and "Fantasy Factory" fun house commander in chief buckled up in a Chevy Sonic for an ultimate test. The American manufacturer challenged him to kick flip one of their cars off a ramp, landing it back on four wheels. As scary as the stunt sounds, Autoweek.com claims that the vehicle was altered in an attempt to keep Rob safe. "The car got a few modifications for the jump, including a roll cage, racing seat belts and upgraded shocks to absorb the landing. The fuel tank was modified to hold only a few gallons, and the battery was moved inside the roll cage." Still sounds like the worst idea ever to us. Luckily, he completed it safely.
