Looks like the same abandoned army town where Mythbusters shot a couple of episodes. Yes, in California.

Not sure why the hate on Jesse but whatever. Always someone jealous.


The car chase thing was done in a police pursuit training facility I believe. I doubt they would actually cut loose on public roads, thus being a "staged" stunt. However I don't see how they can stage a tire coming free of a rim.

It was filmed at an abandoned air base. They had a "prescribed" route for him to take to the base and the golf course thing was actually him being an ass and not following their pre-planned route.

He also said he found a place that could make his tires puncture proof, but they would have needed a week to do it and he didn't have enough time. He ran 80 psi in the tires instead so he wouldn't get a pinch flat when he ran over curbs

Oh yeah, and the lead "cop" was a real cop. The rest were actors. The cop got written up for doing the show.

It didn't seem staged to me. I enjoyed the show. I think they could have done a better job of filming it but it was good.
