Trivia[]

This event was recorded and aired at a later date.
This was the first time the forward momentum double backflip was attempted.
Tom Meents was unsuccessful the first 3 times he attempted the nose wheelie. He did another attempt after he clinched the record, going 500+ meters before crashing into the bushes. Due to landing on his roof, that attempt was unsuccessful.
Tom Meents' first three attempts were aired in a different order then they happened. The truck rolled on its first attempt, which would be shown as the third attempt on the broadcast.
Two drivers needed medical attention during the event:
- Bari Musawwir after his 3rd donut attempt
- Todd Leduc after his 2nd double backflip attempt.
During the 1st double backflip attempt, Todd Leduc's motor "exploded", only causing the truck to do 1 massive backflip. The crew was able to change the motor in 1 hour, allowing Todd to attempt the stunt again.
Megalodon was promoting Shark Week at the event, which started a day after the event was aired.
Two additional record attempts were performed, but not aired during the broadcast. Adam Anderson, with Grave Digger, broke the record for the longest slap wheelie at 624 feet 10.44 inches. Ryan Anderson, with Son-Uva Digger, set the longest bicycle record at 891 feet 10.08 inches.
The records are featured in the 2022 Guinness World Records book.
