Professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek joined forces with GM’s Chevrolet brand for a daredevilish car stunt to promote the launch of the new Sonic sub-compact, and the result was pretty impressive.
The 37-year old American skateboarder swapped his four-wheel plywood board for the five-door Sonic to perform a 360-degree “kickflip”, which employed two 50-foot ramps, one to launch off and the other to land the car on. And did we mention that there was a giant skateboard positioned between the two ramps?
The latest stunt is part of Chevrolet’s ongoing “Let’s Do This” campaign for the Sonic hatchback and it follows the “Sonic Skydive”, in which the subcompact was parachuted from a plane at 14,000 feet, and the “Sonic Bungee Jump” where the five-door model was launched from a 100 foot tower while tied to an elastic bungee cord.
