this is going to be bad. >> i'm thinking, oh, my god, this is it. he's gone. there's not going to be anything left. i fell down and i cried. >> his car disintegrates as it hits the ground. >> i remember the very first impact, my left hand actually swung out and struck the roll cage almost as if i'd punched it. it was just a scary roller-coaster ride. >> the hood and car doors are obliterated as jeremy's car bounces down this deep rock field. >> i felt the seat actually physically rise up like somebody had hit me. it was horrific. >> jeremy never loses consciousness during the 19 seconds his race car tumbles down the mountain. the descent recorded by a camera that breaks free at first impact. >> i really thought i was going to die. 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, you know the sound. >> after what seems 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 did just unstrap myself and pull myself out of the wreckage. [ applause ] >> i had to run probably a quarter of a mile to get down the side of the mountain to where i could actually see him and i saw that he was sitting on a rock and that he was okay.

>> jeremy's concern shifts to yuri, the co-driver whose helmet splits in half from the force of the crash. the impact causes yuri to lose consciousness but only for seconds. >> i was concerned that the car might catch fire and actually ended up dragging him 50 feet away behind some boulders just in case the car did catch fire. >> yuri is airlifted to a nearby hospital with a possible brain injury. jeremy goes by ambulance. as violent as the continuous pounding is, you can see two white helmets bobbing during the accident. the race car's steel safety cage and harnesses acts like a cocoon and saves their lives. amazingly jeremy suffers only a few bruises. yuri, 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, ken straps into his custom race car. all systems are go. >> it can do zero to 60 in 1.8 seconds, very, very fast. >> over four days, he uses and abuses the iconic streets, hills, and waterfront 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 in sanely popular web videos, gymkhana five. >> it's small grassroots kind of motorsport. >> precision maneuvering around obstacles and controlled skids, spins, and turns called drifting. box genius is the way he uses moving objects like this cable car to take his tire shredding stunts to another level. >> it's like, okay, you have a small section of a block. here is what you said you were going to do, now go do it. >> and how about driving 60 miles an hour up russian hill,

one of san fran's steepest into nowhere. >> i'm looking at sky as i take off. it's about 70, 80 feet on top and 70 feet down the backside. it was almost 140 feet i jumped from takeoff to actual landing spot. >> walk's heavy-duty shocks are built to handle the pressure. >> that doesn't mean it's necessarily the softest landing either. you see in that video that my helped boubss around a little bit. that first time jumping anything is always very scary. you come up short, you bounce, break the car or it rolls, 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 of what his car does and how to control it. what you're able to do, how sharp you're able to turn and flow a corner from 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 have a diver ready go in and get me out of the car. no risk it, no biscuit. that's part of why we're doing this and why we're doing it the way we do it. sometimes there's consequences. you just have to be prepared for them. >> it turns out he may be even a better businessman than driver. his gymkhana videos are some of the most popular youtube ads ever for his action sports company d.c. shoes. >> i really truly am a lucky master that i get to race these little cars.
