Darby Allin: I Took A Jeep And Jumped 96 Ft Over My House, Tony Khan Was On FaceTime Watching Me Do That

Darby Allin says Tony Khan watched him jump his jeep 96 ft over his house.

Some weeks back, Darby Allin flipped a car with Gabe Kidd inside the trunk. This is just one of the many stunts Allin has performed over the years.

Speaking with TMZ Sports recently, Allin was asked about these high-risk spots and how much effort goes into them. 

“It’s more of a spur-of-the-moment, man. I’ve been living my life on the edge forever. I feel like if it’s too controlled and it’s too calculated, it doesn’t feel right. So, I like to just be as haywire as possible with a lot of these things. Growing up, watching a lot of Evel Knievel videos, and just how there wasn’t a lot of safety nets with that guy. So, it was incredible. That’s how I kind of want to live. Do or die by the sword.”

Later, Allin was asked if Tony Khan had ever tried to stop him from doing something. 

“Well, you see my roof right here. I took a jeep and jumped over the house. You can insert that video. I took a jeep and jumped 96 ft over my house. Tony [Khan] was on FaceTime watching me do that because he had to be at the Super Bowl meeting. But I remember him watching me and being like, ‘Hey, can we just have a stunt double in that car before you do this?’ I was like, ‘Absolutely not. I could never live with myself.’ So, I jumped the jeep, flew into all these mobile home trailers. First thing I did, I jumped out of the jeep, and then I ran to the phone where Tony was on. I said, ‘Yo, I can make it Wednesday, so don’t worry.’”
