Millen’s flip demands the truck to travel a distance of 80 feet at a height of 50 feet. During his final practice for the event last year, Millen overshot the landing, got injured and damaged his vehicle as well.

However, the 36-year-old New Zealand native is said to be fully recovered now and more determined than ever.

“Having the opportunity and support to attempt the first-ever backflip in a truck is only going to be sweeter knowing that I will be returning back to the Rio, the place I planned to attempt this last year and the birth place of Red Bull: New Year. No Limits,” said Millen.

Fans will recall that the 2005 Formula Drift champion and 2008 Red Bull Drifting World Championship winner was also the lead stunt driver in several commercials and movies, such as Dukes of Hazzard and Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.
