Watch the Bad Habit monster truck jump a record 237 feet



Joe Sylvester takes truck jumping very seriously, that much is obvious. Back in 2010, Sylvester rocketed his 1,400-horsepower, 2006 Cadillac Escalade skyward, and didn't come back to Earth until he had gone some 208 feet forward; a world record at the time.

The record for a monster truck distance jump was subsequently broken – to the tune of 214 feet and 8 inches – prompting Sylvester to fire up his truck Bad Habit and go after it again. Now running a Ram bodied truck, the driver hit the ramp at 85 miles per hour, and put over 20 feet between himself and the new second place mark, for a total of 237 feet, six inches. That speed is just one mph short of the current land-speed record for monster trucks.
