    In the picture above it looks like you could have 2-2x4 and 2-2x6 from side to side to support maybe a small version of Decked would be a nice accessory

    I've watched the video many times and it does not look real, the movements seem too smooth, the driver is just a barely visible blur, the dust off the tires seems generated, the whole video seems Computer Generated
