Looks like a 95 or so Legacy GT? That's incredible. Funny and crazy at the same time. Definately a video to be kept.

Do you happen to know the specs of the car? That's scary.
I can't download the video, but if it's the one with a red 98 2.5GT with two dudes in the car I know the story. The guy who flipped the car posted on nasioc (back then, the I-Club) a WHILE ago.

when i first got my legacy, i tried to flip it. Wanted to get rid of it, and figured that it'd be kinda funny if i did. couldnt, and was too afraid of damaging it, but not flipping it to try a curb

From http://www.damianvanloon.com/cool.htm

Even with Falkens I doubt it would be very hard if not impossible to get up on two wheels without some type of "ramp"

I enjoy making my coworkers scream on the way to lunch sometimes.
I was at taste of Subaru that day when Lovell did that and it was pretty amazing, funny thing is at that spot in the stands the only people that actually witnessed it was about 4 people including the guy filming it he was like ten ft. from me. Lovell and his crew were tuning and dialing in that car all day long and having fun it was evident from the chatter in the pitts that they were spending way to much time on the dirt lately and not enough time on the tarmac and yes that car had way to much power and or gear ratios for PIR that day, but it was awesome.
