it was the day of the Bathurst 100 race held every year in Australian town of Bathurst. There is 100 laps to be driven in the powerful V8 Super cars.

But while the drivers drive, the partiers party. There are a number "Bathurst 100" parties held around the country every time the race is held. One man at a party in devenport in tasmania, Australia, a rev head, by the name of Nige, loves watching the Super cars race around the track. by the time that the race was over Nige was still pumped and wanting more. it was then that the brilliant idea popped into his head. Why not jump the the 60ft motobike jump in the back poddock in mum's Navara?

to make the deal sweeter the "boys" got togather and decided to make it a 500 dollar bet. so Nige, still revved up, jumps in the Navara. accelarated down the hill. accelarted at the jump (now going over 60km/h) and launches off the jump. all is well untill half a second into the jump when the car tilds side ways, and forward before not making it to the end of the jump where the front of the $25,000 Navar ploughs into the ground flipping onto it's roof. the car was destroyed but the rev head Nige walked unharmed away from his daring stunt. it is still uncertain if he got his 500 dollar pize.

watch the antics of Nige one the Mercury new paper sight. http://www.base11.com.au//clients/mercury/online/video/20081017_navara.html

While this borders on too common, I will certainly acknowledge the level of alcohol/stupidity involved! Thanks. Selby!

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
I agree with James. Anybody who's aware enough to be making bets is aware enough to think twice.

I agree with James that this borders on too common, but the video helped convince me that this idiot deserves recognition. Thanks, Selby.
