a race car driver loses control on a sharp turn and

takes flight off a colorado mountain. >> i was thinking, oh, my god, this is it. like, he's gone. there's not going to be anything left. >> jeremy foley gets the starter's green flag. and a surge of adrenaline. >> i've always been an aggressive driver, and like to drive fast. >> jeremy, the rookie at the pikes peak international hill climb, 156 hair-raising turns up a 14,000-foot mountain that would give any driver goodbumps. >> it's indescribable. >> cameras mounted inside and outside jeremy's car are recording every second. >> i think it's known, actually, that being one of the most dangerous races, not only in the country, but probably the world. >> jeremy's girlfriend, robin,

is 3,000 feet up the mountain, where it's cold and it's been drizzling on and off for the past hour. >> we could actually see most of the track. we got a pretty good spot. >> in the thin air at 12,000 feet, the time trial is going well. seven minutes in, and three to go, jeremy and his co-driver uri are on pace to finish in third place. he goes around a hair pin turn. this is called devil's playground. it's about to live up to its ominous name. jeremy drives 80 miles an hour into the next turn. he steers to the left. but his wheels aren't grabbing. they never will. >> the front end just basically slips out. one of the most frightening things i've experienced in my life. i saw, wow, we've got a lot of

mountain to go down. this is going to be bad. >> i'm thinking, oh, my god, this is it. like he's gone. there's not going to be anything left. i sat down and i cried. >> his car disintegrates as it hits the ground. >> i remember the first impact, my left hand actually swung out and struck the roll cage, almost as if i had punched it. it was just a scary roller coaster ride. >> the hood and car doors are obliterated as jeremy's car bounces down the deep rock field. >> i felt the seat actually physically rise up, almost like somebody had hit me. it was horrific. >> jeremy never loses consciousness during the 19 seconds his race car tumbles down the mountain. it was recorded by a camera that

brakes free at first impact. >> i really thought i was going to die. you know, that was it. i was praying. i didn't know what else to do. >> devil's playground is exacting vengeance, in a symphony of destruction. >> it's an unmistakable sound. if you've ever been in a car accident, then you know the sound. >> after what seemed like an eternity, the little that's left of jeremy's car stops. not only is his heart still beating, he's able to walk away. >> i unstrapped myself and pulled myself out of the wreckage. >> my god, man! >> i had to run probably a quarter of a mile to get down the side of the mountain, and then back to where i could actually physically see him. and i saw he was sitting on a rock and that he was okay. >> jeremy's concern shifts to uri, his co-driver, whose helmet

splits in half from the force of the crash. the impact causes uri to lose consciousness, but only for a second. >> i was concerned the car might catch fire, and actually ended up dragging him 20 feet away behind some boulders in case the car caught fire. >> uri is air lifted to a nearby hospital with a possible brain injury. jeremy goes by ambulance. as violence as the continuous pounding is, you can see two white helmets bobbing during the accident. the race car's steel safety cage and safety harnesses acts like a cocoon and saves jeremy's and, ri's lives. amazingly, jeremy suffers only a few bruises. uri, a dislocated shoulder. as frightening as their accident is, it can't take away the racer's itch and the dream of one day going pro. >> by the time the race comes up next year, i'll probably be ready for it. >> i'll be right up there with

him. >> from one airborne race car to another, no wrong turns here, just fast and tricky. and this one definitely makes a safe landing. may 2012, ten blocks, strapped into his custom race car. all systems are go. >> it can do 0 to 60 in about 1.8 seconds. very, very fast. >> over four days, block uses and abuses the iconic streets, hills and water fronts of san francisco.

at speeds of up to 120 miles an hour. >> to be able to bring my race car here, to san francisco, and race it around on closed-off city streets was like a dream come true for me. >> it's the latest of his insanely popular web videos. >> jim cona is a simple small grass roots type motor sport. >> jim cona races feature precision maneuvering around obstacles, and controlled skids, spins and turns called drifting. it's the way block uses objects like this cable car to take his tire-shredding stunt to an entire new level. >> you have this small section of a block. here's what you said you were going to do. now go do it. >> and how about driving 60

miles an hour up a hill, one of san fran's steepest, into nowhere. >> i'm looking at the sky as i take off. it's about 70 or 80 feet of flat on top, then flew about 70 feet down the back side. so it was almost 140 feet that i jumped from takeoff to actual landing spot. >> block's heavy-duty shocks are built to handle the pressure. >> that doesn't mean it's necessarily the softest landing, though, either. you see in the video that my head bounces around a little bit. that first time jumping anything is always very scary. because you come up short, you bounce, you break the car, it rolls, whatever, or you go too far. >> oh, yeah, what about making the sharp turn at the bottom of the hill? no problem. >> it's a basic race car driver

understanding what his car does and how to control it. what you're able to do, how sharp you're able to turn and go corner to corner. >> and he does his stunts in some very dangerous places. like this cement-covered barge, where a wrong move could be disastrous. >> they had a diver ready to go in and get me out of the car. that's part of why we're doing this, and why we're doing it the way that we do this. sometimes there's consequences. but you just have to be prepared for them. >> it turns out block may be even a better businessman than driver. his videos are some of the most popular youtube ads ever for his action sportswear company d.c.

shoes. >> i really and truly am a lucky -- to race these amazing cars. you never know when a moment could be your last. >> they very dangerously waved their weapons around and showed signs that they would use them. >> at any time -- >> you better get someone here. this dude is crazy. ah! >> -- a calm day can turn chilling. >> his head went under three times, then people started falling through. i just couldn't believe it was still happening. >> out of control. >> i saw terror on my baby's face, and i saw him fly back. >> terrifying.
