BBC’s new series, Crash Course, will follow Richard Hammond as he attempts to learn how to work the world’s biggest and toughest vehicles. In his own words, he’s driven “every high-power vehicle there is, but that was just for fun.” From driving Lamborghinis, he’s now aiming to become a lumberjack (among other things). Seems like Hammond is trying to fulfil the next set of his boyhood dreams.

Apart from driving the lumberjacks’ tree harvester, which he does in the second episode, Hammond also learns to ride a mighty Bulldozer in a landfill, a fire-fighting Striker, and a track hoe that helps demolish houses. While most people are trained for years before they’re allowed to drive these vehicles, Hammond has three days to master the machine.
