Van Damme is still Cool, apparently.
At least judging from this epic split between two moving trucks!

awesome, but still not sure if the trucks are driving backwards or the video ![;)](//snotr.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/images/smilies/wink.png)
nice commercial anyway, here's another one they made some months ago with a slackline professional:

Yes, van Damme is cool, but Chuck Norris was driving both trucks.

#4, no, the trucks were moving backwards to demonstrate the precision of Volvo's Dynamic Steering system. The system is so precise that the truck barely makes any steering corrections to keep the trailer in line.
There is a making-of here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHES6m-6F3Q and an explanation of the stunt here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2507525/Jean-Claude-Van-Damme-53-performs-splits-moving-trucks-breathtaking-stunt.html

Big deal. Trucks moving backwards at a slow controlled speed. I want to see him doing this on a highway doing 65, forward in rush hour traffic.

I do not buy that this is real. Never mind the speed (looks like 15+ mph)that these trucks are going at, have you ever had to back up a trailer at a normal speed?
Then there's the variables of keeping both trucks at exactly the same speed and distance. Just a small hump in the road could knock him off.
Nope.

#3 seriously I am amazed at people.. when the end of the video clearly states:
"This test was set up to demonstrate the stability and precision of Volvo Dynamic Steering"
Oh it must have been the part where he drives backwards. How can you miss that?
Or what else would it be, the ability of the Volvo truck to... keep a wild Damme close to another Volvo truck?
