Flippin' crazy! Pro-skateboarder turned
stunt driver jumps car over huge skateboard
Old skateboarders never die, they just become stunt drivers and do death-defying tricks ... over giant skateboards.
As a professional skater, Rob Dyrdek broke 21 world records, including a dozen 360-degree kickflips - where the board flips right over and lands on its wheels, in one minute.
On Friday the 37-year-old daredevil took his personal quest to hybridize skateboarding and stunt driving a notch higher by being the first man to successfully kickflip a car, at least intentionally.

Sideways: The Chevy Sonic starts to flip as it leaves the first ramp
The setting for the event was California's Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park with the backdrop of the rollercoasters lending a suitably white-knuckle element.
The car was a new Chevy Sonic.
There were two ramps and a 60ft gap filled by his giant board.
Upside down: Halfway across the gap and everything's good so far
The end is near: The tricky part, hitting the other side
Rob is filmed roaring up the first ramp with the car turning on its side immediately upon exiting the ramp.
By the time the car was halfway along the gap it was completely upside before turning on its side once more at the other end and finally back on all fours.
Back to safety: The car returns to four wheels (kind of)
It was witnessed by his buddies from MTV, Dyrdek has had a number of shows on the channel, Chevrolet's reps and an enthusiastic crowd.
It's not Dyrdek's first skate trick in a car - he successfully managed to grind (driving on two wheels) a Ford Mustang - but it was certainly the most dramatic.
The video, uploaded by sonicinsider on Saturday, has so far been viewed nearly 55,000 times.
