Stuntman Paul Swift boasts many accolades and records. Among them, he executed five car stunts in just 57 seconds, using a Focus ST and a Mustang Dark Horse. Recently, he turned to Ford again, but this time for something much larger.

The subject of discussion here is the Ranger Raptor, which Swift used in his quest to set an atypical record. The objective was to navigate the narrowest space with a pickup balanced on two wheels. The task's complexity increased not just due to the vehicle's size, but also the strong winds that prevailed during the attempt. Nevertheless, Swift's endeavor concluded successfully. You will find a brief video of the triumphant ride .

The gap between the two poles targeted by Swift was approximately 35 inches more than the height of the Raptor, which made the achievement even more extraordinary. To date, no one had accomplished such a feat in a similar challenge, if at all.
