Subaru WRX STi airborne

A possible new sport in the automotive industry.


A video landed on my lap this morning of a Subaru Impreza WRX STi jumping a double.  The car at one point must have been close to a hundred feet in the air.  So it makes me wonder.  Will this be a new extreme sport?  Sure it would be extremely expensive but I wonder what the physical limits to a cars maneuverability in the air would be?  If a sport or competition was made out of car jumping would we start to see maneuvers like 360's and back flips, well maybe not backflips.  With standard suspension setups I don't think that would be possible, but what if you employed an active suspension like the Bose suspension? That would be interesting.
