That guy did that like a pro too. Don't think I have the balls to pull something like that off.

I saw someone do that on television about 10 years ago. It was 2 (late model) Toyota Landcruisers made to drive the arctic. Sometimes the tire would pop off due to their low pressure and they'd do the lighter trick. Why they wouldn't just use bead locks, I have no idea.
