That looks like a lot of fun. Some people I know (I'm afraid of calling them my friends 
) did some jumps in their Evos/STis. Needless to say, its not really a good idea, especially if you're lowered. I've actually been having an itch of wanting to get a truck and giving it a small lift and bigger tires, nothing too crazy since it'd be my DD.
I swear, in my previous life I must have been a white guy.

soooo, i wasnt there to witness this yesterday, i was busy with homwork...
so my buddy was going big or going home..he went home. he wanted to hit the jump at 60-70 mph..i told him you better practice, gradually increasing your speed each time. he said, "no, ill just plan it out, i wont wreck."
he wrecked lol
i guess the truck nose dived once he caught air and it basically endoed onto the roof. he had to go to the hospital, doc said he's lucky to be alive. he's banged up, nothing broken though.
once he posts the video, ill post it lol
i have a feeling its not over though. he has an 01 silverado that he's doing a 6.0/whipple swap to, and an 80's blazer that he just threw a 502 into, so be prepared for more stupidity lol

I remember watching a truck race on a dirt track and there were a few sections with jumps and the commentators were talking about how trucks need to be weighted properly and when you hit the jump, there's a certain way to do it too. Don't remember if you need to let off a little, or completely, or pin the throttle.... but there is a right way and a lot of wrong ways.
