I've flipped a Jeep and had it land vertically on its grill and stick there.  That worth anything?  ;)

I've often wondered about this too, oddly enough.  Maybe it's a torque induced roll, as you depart terra firma your front wheels get in the air first, leaving the only point of contact your rear wheeles, and while you're firmly holding down the accelerator, this induces the back flip briefly before they also become airborne?

Gravity accelerates both the light end and heavy end at the same rate.  :old:

I used to control the pitch of my motorcycles with torque from the back wheel when in flight off the hump-back bridges down the country lanes of England. Don't tell the bizzies   :banana:
