It’s a fantasy come true. Who wouldn’t want to do what BJ Baldwin gets to do in this video–hoon a 850 hp race truck through the streets of a deserted city. Seven-time off-road racing and two-time solo Baja 1000 champion, B.J. Baldwin and his Trophy Truck “Fedor,” thread the needle through buildings, power lines, spectators and random bikini-clad babes along the rural and urban parts of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico in his latest short film, “Recoil Two.”
“After the success of BJ’s Recoil film in 2013, which has seen close to seven million views already, it was clear there would be a sequel,” says Hoonigan’s Brand Director, Brian Scotto who served as Recoil Two’s Creative Director. “BJ tapped Hoonigan to help on the creative side and give the sequel a slightly different feel, which we were stoked to do. This was a fun one to make.”
B.J. Baldwin’s trophy truck, has a 458-inch small block Chevy engine nestled under the hood that puts out over 850 horses and 690 foot-pounds of torque. It’s capable of top speeds around 150 mph, and its 39-inch Toyo tires coupled with its massive suspension travel, courtesy of King Shocks, allow it to only eat up anything in its path. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show that is “Recoil Two.”
