I saw that was coming. It's awesome to see! IIRC, they only needed like 52MPH to make the loop.

Talk about timing.
Here is another recent loop.

According to these guys high G's and structural integrity of the frame...

In an interview afterward, Tanner mentioned the high G's. He was talking about grunting all the way around trying to keep from blacking out. I think he said it was close to 7 G's. That just sounds ridiculous at only 52 MPH.
Like these g's
