All's quiet at the Connecticut Valley Fairgounds in Bradford. There are no crowds and just tire tracks to mark what happened here this weekend. At a monster truck show Saturday, Larry Quick quickly created a few seconds of high drama in his behemoth Ghost Ryder.

Larry Quick chuckles, "the ultimate rush. Probably the biggest rush in monster trucks for me!"

The Illinois man performed a back flip, making a blur out of 10,000 pounds of metal and rubber in video of the stunt captured by spectators.

The promoter of the "Vermonster 4x4", Randy Oakley, says, "To our knowledge, the first man to do a backflip, land it, and drive away."

But the driver adds, "The landing was extremely hard. Probably the hardest landing of my career."

Quick walked us through his entry into the "don't try this at home file," explaining Ghost Ryder is designed for wheelie tricks. In slow-motion, you can see when Quick hit a specially-designed ramp, it kicked his front wheels in the air. Then the strength of the back wheels forced the vehicle over itself.

Quick remembers, "So keeping the truck low, which was dangerous, is the key to the stunt."

Randy Oakley adds, "He just set the bar so high. People will try to duplicate it. All I can say is, 'good luck to them!'"

The promoter says duplicating it would not just be difficult but dumb. This is a risky trick that took a year of planning and plenty of safety checks.

But for Larry Quick, the rush has him refining his stunt. He says, "I know I'll repeat the stunt!"

It's something fans in stands across the country should really "flip" over.

Larry Quick and his Ghost Ryder actually failed the flip on the first attempt but landed on the second.

Quick vows to top his own stunt this September when he returns to the fairgrounds in Bradford for another monster truck event.
