What he did at the end is known as Canopy Piloting or "swooping" and is not something you'd learn as a military jumper, so he's got lots (a hell of a lot) of civilian jumping in his spare time. Not saying he isn't a great military jumper too.
Some say he only eats fallen meteor crystals for breakfast, and that his genetic genius has the capability to impregnate both women and men. All we know is... He's the stig's military cousin.
This was the first episode that I ever saw of Top Geer. It totally blew me away. Especially when the Stig went into a dive with the parachute opened (7:22 mark). That was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. And that Raptor is a beautiful Beast!!
Unhandled Exception Wichita Brilliant machine the Raptor, brilliant jumper, brilliant camera work, brilliant duel. One of those few challenges that left me in awe
+Daniel Hall STIG. It wasn't the original Top Gear, but I can't understand what they say over the pond. I speak American. JK... However, I don't enjoy the British one simply because I don't know the cars over there.
You’d like UK Top Gear much more. It’s like this, but funnier, and they did all these ideas first. Top Gear came up with the “car VS skydiver” years before US Flop Gear stole the idea.
I think it has something to do with the US version of top gear sucking ass. I'm just saying what all the old topgear viewers are thinking. you know back when the bbc still had Clarkson.
I’ve always been a ford boy ever since Jurassic park. I knew I had to have the raptor. Then I saw this video back in 2011. I knew I was going to buy one. I graduated college, saved all my money, and bought a 2014 in cash two years ago. I still love driving it.
Hi anyone still watches this in 2021 this is my favourite show but not being offensive but does any one not like the new series and wishes that the old one came back to this channel
This was a really good race. I can see the improvements in editing and sound tracks from previous videos. And I did not know you could spiral around with a parachute. Pretty cool.
I like the realism... The other day I raced a halo jumper and lost in my 5.0..... It was a close race!! Good to see the trucks are competitive as well!
Who are the 2.5K people that unliked this video. Smh, why are some people so cynical, this should be one awesome video since each one is taking a heavy risk and it’s fun
If that was the legitimate finish line shot, that's impressive. Incredible timing. And regarding the hot topic, for goodness sake everyone... just enjoy the vehicles and the cinematography.
the sad thing is how staged this was.. If the skydiver actually went head down he could easily break 300mph (terminal velocity is based on surface area, its not "120mph" as claimed) and he could have spiraled for the finish line from the moment he'd opened his canopy... but of course its TV so they have to make it look like it was close (which the skydiver did an excellent job of by timing his turn so that he finished just ahead of the truck) but it was never really a contest at all.
+lubricatedjellybeans The current world record speed skydive is 346mph (from standard skydiving altitude) Felix Baumgartner's jump from space went over 730mph (ofc he didn't have much atmosphere for most of the dive) you can absolutely fall faster than 120mph, an average head down skydive is around 180mph, 120mph is an average speed falling belly to earth (increases surface area with the same weight=lower speed) Get off youtube and go repeat junior high school physics.
Tanner Foust... What a hell of a guy. I don't think there is anyone else who could thrash a raptor as hard as he was doing. He may of lost, but damn that driving was boss.
No matter whats the content of the video, as long as its Top Gear USA everybody just keeps disliking it and complains about how much better the UK edition is. Come on people, at least give them a chance and watch it unbiased. This really wasnt a bad video.
Seriously, it was the Raptor segment and the parachutist race that sold me on this show in the first place. I can't believe there are actually people who think this isn't cool.
This one was pretty good. It doesn't deserve so many dislikes. some people are being a bit too biased. Im not American and prefer the UK version but this was quite interesting with some impressive footage and data.
Tanner Foust is, among many things in racing, a European Rallycross Champion along with being a professional race driver and stuntman. I'd say on OFF-ROAD courses he probably has more experience than the Stig.
I'm from the US and even I agree with that. None of the guys on TG US have ever written an article for a car magazine, so all they can say is "yeah, this is a good car... it's fast, it turns well, etc." Whereas on TG UK they are actual journalists and they can actually give you insight and personal opinions about the suspension setup, chassis, the tires, etc.
instead of calling the Halo jumper a mysterious Halo jumper who trained US soldiers, they could've just called him 'Stig American Halo Jumping cousin'.
Sees Top Gear USA video on Top Gear's channel, a lot of dislikes.... Sees Top Gear USA on some other person's channel, barley any dislikes... Interesting...
The scary part is that you people actually watch this. When Top Gear uploaded the video ''Top Gear USA is coming to BBC Three'', every single Top Gear fan, even the Americans, were pissed and said that they were never going to watch it. Now, Top Gear UK is completely forgotten. This channel has earned more and more subscribers since they stopped uploading Top Gear UK videos, and that just shows how much better you think this is. What's next, America? Doctor Who?
Is it just me or is that guy a complete boss at parachuting lol? Damn. Must be so much technique to do what he did at the end.
What he did at the end is known as Canopy Piloting or "swooping" and is not something you'd learn as a military jumper, so he's got lots (a hell of a lot) of civilian jumping in his spare time. Not saying he isn't a great military jumper too.
Aaaaaaaaaand plot twist,the parachutist is the Stig's military cousin
Good one 😂
Well, didn't see that coming.
Good one i aploase you😂😂😂
IAN LAI boiiiiiiiiiiiii
Some say he only eats fallen meteor crystals for breakfast, and that his genetic genius has the capability to impregnate both women and men. All we know is... He's the stig's military cousin.
Identity Classified? Hmm... Stig: Identity Classified... Confirmed as Stig.
that sky diver is freaking awesome
Certified badass.
ALL skydivers are ! ! !
Nobody gonna talk about the fact that raptor was in 4x4 the entire time and not 1 mechanical failure? Bravo
This was the first episode that I ever saw of Top Geer. It totally blew me away. Especially when the Stig went into a dive with the parachute opened (7:22 mark). That was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. And that Raptor is a beautiful Beast!!

Unhandled Exception Wichita they’re 90% the same cars. The only cars we don’t have are the Citroens and the Alfas, and some of the Peugots.
You’d like UK Top Gear much more. It’s like this, but funnier, and they did all these ideas first. Top Gear came up with the “car VS skydiver” years before US Flop Gear stole the idea.
@@yammmit it was only good with Jeremy Clarkson
Saw this live on TV and to this day its one of the most insane things I've seen.
A guy in town owns one of these, and my God, it sounds fricking cool when he goes by. That Halo jumper is a-maz-ing.
Seeing the tires bounce at 3:46 was incredibly satisfying.
Independent suspension rules!
Why so many dislikes? Raptors a sweet truck.
I think it has something to do with the US version of top gear sucking ass.
I'm just saying what all the old topgear viewers are thinking.
you know back when the bbc still had Clarkson.
The haters are the dislikers
+James Osborne Chevy fans :(
James Osborne because they real ass chevy fans. like my self
Maybe the fact that it was a Hennessy raptor
A Ford Raptor and a HALO jump makes a recipe for a hell of a video.
The guy driving that truck has some serious skill same for the skydiver.
The driver is Tanner Foust he's a Rally car driver.
+IowaPorkChop and professional drifter and stunt driver for movies like the fast and furious franchise
TANNER FOUST
“The guy” is Tanner Foust. How can you watch US Top Gear and not know who the hosts are?
Look like the cactus is flipping me off at 2:00
I’ve always been a ford boy ever since Jurassic park. I knew I had to have the raptor. Then I saw this video back in 2011. I knew I was going to buy one. I graduated college, saved all my money, and bought a 2014 in cash two years ago. I still love driving it.
if it wasnt for the cows he would have won
So true
Jeremie Brissette No. That parachute guy would have done another awesome trick.
no sky person start trick late
You cant throw all the trash you want at Top Gear US...but THIS challenge against the Raptor was BADASS!
Holy crap... Going faster than terminal velocity... That jumper is a freaking beast and a half. I wish I could try that once
I can't not get enough of this show....AMAZING.
Thats some badass parachuting
Hi anyone still watches this in 2021 this is my favourite show but not being offensive but does any one not like the new series and wishes that the old one came back to this channel

My respect for the camera man 📈📈📈
That diver has balls the size of Ford Raptors. Seriously, mad skills for that guy
I love how in 2012 3 years before star wars 7 comes out in 2015
Two of the coolest things in this video: Baja truck and halo diving!! You outdid yourself TOP GEAR USA!! Props!
3:44 this is the best suspension scene shot ever :D
Who are the 2.5K people that unliked this video. Smh, why are some people so cynical, this should be one awesome video since each one is taking a heavy risk and it’s fun
I need me one of those Arizona desserts
Kinda dry but tasty.
that was crazy tanner is a beast love top gear US cant wait for the new seasons of all things top gear!
Star Wars 7- Jurassic Menace, SERIOUSLY😒
+Frankie Prokop no darth vader or any darth in the new one
That Raptor is the most badass sounding and looking truck ever
Dad and I want that truck
Awesomeness. The best TopGear USA episode EVER!
song at 2:52??? pls answer
DjKhaled hold you down
+The L0ne Camper darude, sandstorm
If you still care: "Vengeance" (Terry Devine-King / Adam Drake). Found on audionetwork.com
If that was the legitimate finish line shot, that's impressive. Incredible timing. And regarding the hot topic, for goodness sake everyone... just enjoy the vehicles and the cinematography.
So how did he lock the diff if he's not in low gear and going 80 mph +?
you dont need to, the diff stays locked. and as long as you're in 2h you're good. I have a raptor
the diff doesn't stay locked but it doesn't matter about speed as long as you are not in 4L
Wow! Not usually a fan of Top Gear USA but this was amazing!
Way better than the UK version
No
***** And Top Gear Korea, Russia you name it.
Amazing camera work and a great finish. That skydiver has talent and balls. Wow.
Merica
6:30 what's the black dot?
UFO
Fidel Coelho Ok.
TheTwicey I think that is air unit camera .
Then the parachutest lands and gets run over
Don't know why there are so many dislikes. This was actually a beautiful vid. I wonder how they got some of those shots.
tanner foust is a bad dude.
I am not a Top Gear USA fan, but this was amazing
the sad thing is how staged this was.. If the skydiver actually went head down he could easily break 300mph (terminal velocity is based on surface area, its not "120mph" as claimed) and he could have spiraled for the finish line from the moment he'd opened his canopy... but of course its TV so they have to make it look like it was close (which the skydiver did an excellent job of by timing his turn so that he finished just ahead of the truck) but it was never really a contest at all.
+Artis Life True. The man showed some skill there :D
You can't fall faster then 120mph, it's impossible with air resistance. You can however go up to speed of 225mph going forward not down.
+Artis Life im assuming your saying that Top gear is staged? okay...
+lubricatedjellybeans The current world record speed skydive is 346mph (from standard skydiving altitude) Felix Baumgartner's jump from space went over 730mph (ofc he didn't have much atmosphere for most of the dive)
you can absolutely fall faster than 120mph, an average head down skydive is around 180mph, 120mph is an average speed falling belly to earth (increases surface area with the same weight=lower speed) Get off youtube and go repeat junior high school physics.
+Artis Life Defiantly not like 90% of top gear is staged or anything
this was by far the best episode i've watch from Top Gear USA :D
That was some good off-road power sliding. Also enjoyed the parachutist getting crazy at the end to create speed with his chute open!
This is exactly like Richard Hammond's movie about the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S vs. The Red Devil
YA only.. better, faster, longer.. oh and better... Hammond is better than Tanner as a presenter but this race was far better.
You have cars with what's called semi-automatic... meaning you can still shift gear to adjust your driving and motoric behaviour to the situation.
Tanner Foust... What a hell of a guy. I don't think there is anyone else who could thrash a raptor as hard as he was doing. He may of lost, but damn that driving was boss.
That halo jumper is insane. My applause goes to him.
Probably the only TopGear US video worth watching.
gotta be honest, first US Top Gear video I have actually enjoyed. Well done!
I like the Raptor, but the parachute guy is a real badass!
No matter whats the content of the video, as long as its Top Gear USA everybody just keeps disliking it and complains about how much better the UK edition is. Come on people, at least give them a chance and watch it unbiased. This really wasnt a bad video.
Seriously, it was the Raptor segment and the parachutist race that sold me on this show in the first place. I can't believe there are actually people who think this isn't cool.
That navy seal is bad ass hands down. I really felt nervous he may hit the ground. That's some mad skills :D
Did anyone else see that cactus flipping us off at 1:59? Lol
This was awesome and really entertaining to watch. I love that truck.
very exciting, didn't know someone could do that with a parachute so close to the ground! :) awesome!!
He's a professional driver. He knows what he's doing.
That was epic. Quit disliking this simply because "it's not as good as the UK Top Gear". Nobody said it was. Grow up.
this was like one of the first episodes come on keep us up to date topgear and show the full episodes.
First video of Australian top gear I really enjoyed and found as mad as the other top gear!
That raptor drives like a trophy truck, awesome!
The lone highlight of Top Gear USA.
Come on people, this isn't bad. If this show was named something else than Top Gear USA, this would have no dislikes at all. Am I correct?
2:00 HAHA THE CACTUS IS FLIPING HIM OFF!! XD
i honestly think people are just disliking this because its not top gear uk
its actually not too bad
TOP GEAR USA IS SIMPLY AMAZING
We perfected the internet you're using to watch this very video. You're welcome.
This one was great! finally something good from Top Gear US
This one was pretty good. It doesn't deserve so many dislikes. some people are being a bit too biased. Im not American and prefer the UK version but this was quite interesting with some impressive footage and data.
guys, it's not cool anymore to dislike their videos just because they aren't topgear uk
An actual good Top Gear USA video.
NOW THATS SOME SEARIUS OFF-ROADING SKILS
Tanner Foust is, among many things in racing, a European Rallycross Champion along with being a professional race driver and stuntman. I'd say on OFF-ROAD courses he probably has more experience than the Stig.
I'm from the US and even I agree with that. None of the guys on TG US have ever written an article for a car magazine, so all they can say is "yeah, this is a good car... it's fast, it turns well, etc." Whereas on TG UK they are actual journalists and they can actually give you insight and personal opinions about the suspension setup, chassis, the tires, etc.
Tanner foust is a world champion racing driver Rutledge is a racing expert Adam is just a goofball the other two are definitely qualified
The best part has nothing to do with driving: the 'chutist going into a spin for the win!
it was a nice video and was intense. I loved that raptor engine sound.
“His Identity is classified…If I even see him; He may have to kill me.” I believe the same thing is true about the Stig!
Velociraptor and Darth Vader, it was like Star Wars 7, The Jurassic Menace.
I don't care what anyone says, that was a great clip, and a great race.
This isn't a wannabe it's produced and written by the same guys who write and produce the original Top Gear.
The skydiver reached more than 120mph in a head down position, about 190-200mph. The belly position is the slowest for freefalling at 120mph.
that was sweet!!
top gear US aint as bad u guys make it sound like!
instead of calling the Halo jumper a mysterious Halo jumper who trained US soldiers, they could've just called him 'Stig American Halo Jumping cousin'.
He isn't the Stig... But he is the Stig's freefall cousin.
buena info
that was intense! I can't believe how close they were!
It says Top Gear USA in the title...you don't have to click it.
the HALO jumper was cool, but the HALO jumper with the camera was even cooler
Not sure if I should dislike this because it's Top Gear USA, or like it because that Halo Jumper is a fucking god amongst men.
Sees Top Gear USA video on Top Gear's channel, a lot of dislikes....
Sees Top Gear USA on some other person's channel, barley any dislikes...
Interesting...
Out of all of the TG's, that was the closest race! Very soon the trolls will die out lol! That was great.
People should actually watch the video before they dislike like it because its actually a good race
The scary part is that you people actually watch this. When Top Gear uploaded the video ''Top Gear USA is coming to BBC Three'', every single Top Gear fan, even the Americans, were pissed and said that they were never going to watch it. Now, Top Gear UK is completely forgotten. This channel has earned more and more subscribers since they stopped uploading Top Gear UK videos, and that just shows how much better you think this is.
What's next, America? Doctor Who?
plot twist,,,the cow was a paid actress of the. diver
