This gif makes me think they could have pulled it off with better planning.

Has anyone bothered to check on the whereabouts of Bo and Luke Duke?

I know one is bankrupt from strange about 15-20 miles east of here.

Also, in that thread someone measured the distance on Google Earth. 80'. Still about 70' short of what these boys needed to clear to become instant OT Legends.

Yeah, he was also moving like 25 MPH by the time he got airborne. He ran into a damn culvert and still managed to fly 80 feet in the air.

What is also amazing to think about is that if you did make your car jump to the far side of the bridge, it would be destroyed by the impact and certainly never move another inch under its own power; as well as being highly likely to severely injure its occupants in the impact.


Right? Even in the frick yea we did it! scenario these baws are walking away destroyed. But I guess glory knows no price tag.

We need someone local to see what kind of speed they can get going on the bridge. from the gate to the ramp.

It's only about 200 feet from the gate to the ramp.

My cousin was the bridge operator there for probably 20 years. No joke
