World first truck barrel roll | video

The Baja 1000 is a tough course -- and this year sadly a fatal one, claiming the life of racer Kurt Caselli -- and it's common to see plenty of vehicles end up with the shiny side down.

So for once it's good to see a truck the wrong way up on purpose instead of as the result of over-enthusiasm or miscalculation. Adrian 'Wildman' Cenni puts his big specially-built offroad racer into what is claimed to be the world's first ground-to-ground barrel roll in a truck.

Cenni has been racing since entering a Formula One driver search competition in France just after he graduated from university -- and with no driving experience, placing sixth in a field of 500.

He started his track career at club level in Formula Renault, and moved on to pro level with offroad trucks, with ll podiums to his credit, but a championship still to be won.
