Re: 2012 Questions on the McHenry James Bond Astro Spiral Ju
Sept 13, 2012: if it looks like, smells like and rolls like a the spiral jump stunt...then it must be!
Oh well, maybe next time!
Then again they're 'Hot Wheels'! they aren't interested in perfection, they just want to have FUN!!

- We actually were contacted by the Hot Wheels team about helping them with this stunt. We did provide them with some help/ideas on the stunt to help make it work. However it wasn't official as they didn't have time or budget to properly measure the vehicle properties so we didn't want to guesstimate things (the vehicle they used was a custom build dune buggy type vehicle with special shock absorbers, etc. so not something easily guesstimated).
Had they provided us with proper measurements then we could have helped them refine the takeoff/landing ramps to make it a perfect astrosipral jump like that in the James Bond movie by application of our mHVOSM computer program to refine the design the ramps.

- At 92 feet, Hot Wheels says this bests any previous corkscrew jump, like the one Chevy did for a Super Bowl ad earlier this year, or the progenitor of the move, the James Bond stunt in "The Man With The Golden Gun." See for yourself from every conceivable angle below.
