I saw a guy play one of these at a juggling festival but he wasn't near as good as this guy.

pretty long. also it's one big viral ad for the BMW 1-series.
To summarize: A local dude comes up with idea to "launch" (*cough*) a BMW into America from Oberpfaffelbachen Bavaria by means of an enormous ramp and a stunt driver. The whole town buys into it thinking somehow this will create a huge spectacle and people will come from the world over to see the event. For instance one single mother that worked at the local bank invests everything she has in making a gift shop with commemorative plates mugs t-shirts etc. One farmer devoted his field to be a parking lot for the tourists. On the day of the big event a total of 2 vans show up but only one old woman is shown getting out to watch. At the last second the local police man stops the launch citing some obscure law(s) that are being broken. There's a bit of a post mortem showing all the depressed people etc etc.
The whole thing was actually pretty well done and does have the air of a documentary.
