doing it going forward would be impressive doing it going backwards is a bit suspect

the advert is a bit specialised. It requires people who know something about operating a prime mover + trailer setup to understand what the fuss is all about.

Lots of people who viewed the vid didn't understand what the whole thing was about.

If you've ever tried reversing anything with a trailer attached .. well .. you'd understand.

As a trucker myself, I'm genuinely impressed with this stunt. I struggle to reverse in a straight line at walking speed lol. Whilst Van Damme was doing his thing, the point of the advert wasn't lost on me.  :eek: :eek:

Back in my younger days I learnt to reverse an agricultural tractor and trailer, that was hard enough!
