\n10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black”>Viewers of the season finale of the Discovery Channel<\/a> series Diesel Brothers<\/a> were holding their breath as Heavy D took the BroDozer Monster Jam truck into the Utah sky to jump over a flying airplane. The event aired live on May 27.<\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

\n10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black”>Months of preparation and planning went into the event, which populated a special two-hour episode. Prior to the BroDozer<\/a> jump, Todd LeDuc<\/a> completed a forward momentum backflip to start the spectacle. Tanner Godfrey, who is semi-paralyzed, hurtled a UTV through the air for a 240-foot jump, which eclipsed the old record by 17 feet.<\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

\n10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black”>When the time arrived for Heavy D to make his attempt, developing head winds became a cause for concern. When conditions became more favorable, the decision was made to begin and pilot Anthony Oshinuga prepared to fly through the stunt zone.<\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

\n10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black”>With millions watching on Discovery and hundreds of special guests on site, Heavy D and Oshinuga began their course that would lead them to successful completion of the exciting event. The BroDozer passed over the flying aircraft, providing an exciting first successful jump over a flying airplane.<\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

\n10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black”>The event was held at Wendover Airfield near the Nevada border. This historic location served a significant role in World War II history as the home of the Enola Gay, which was used to drop atomic bombs during the conflict. The base serves as a museum and preservation site for World War II. The Diesel Brothers chose the decommissioned base for the Memorial Day event as a tribute to the brave men and women who serve in our military.<\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n
