World Record Semi Truck Stunt Driver Drives On 5-Wheels For 8 Miles

We’ve all probably seen a number of stunts performed on a variety of vehicles. Bicycles, motor bikes, race cars, skateboards, snowboard, surfboard, the list goes on. What can you think of that the average person wouldn’t put on the list?

Gilbert Bataille has an unusual skill set. He’s a professional stunt driver, best known for his performance in the movie “Ronin”. But that’s not the unusual part. His skills in stunt driving stretch out a long way. Long enough to be known as the best stunt driver to skid a semi.

That’s right, he stunt drives big rigs (among many other things). One of his most impressive stunts is driving an 18 wheeler on it’s side. He holds the world record for balancing his truck this way, driving it for over 8 miles.

Of course it goes with out saying, don’t try any of this yourselves. Bataille comes from a family of stuntmen and started himself at the age of 16.
