I particularly enjoyed the segment about 2:00 in when the car is pulling up to the gate. When I first heard the squeaking (of the gate opening, it turns out), I thought "Please tell me that's not coming from the brakes!"

I love how the driver is trying not to linger, shooting over ramps and stuff. There's one where you know he hit his helmet on the roof for sure!

Perfectly good brakes can squeal, it depends on temperature and what the surface of the discs is like.
