For us puny humans especially malcoordinated lanky ones handstands are tricky manoeuvres at the best of times. Now think about trying it in a car. Impossible, right? Especially when said car" is a three-metre wide, three-metre tall, five-tonne, 1,500 horsepower monster truck.Prepare to be amazed then, as Grave Digger" monster truck driver Tyler Menninga did exactly that. At the Cedar Rapids round of Monster Jam, Tyler Menninga decided to get behind the wheel and do a balancing act that would put Simone Biles to shame, just to prove you can teach an old dog new tricks. He inverted the legendary monster truck on its front wheels and held it balanced with the throttle and forward and reverse gears for nearly a minute. Now that"s a recipe for a serious rush of blood to the head.
