Hey guys, I just got a vid a friend took with her digi-cam of our little exciting barrel run from New Years Day. It was so beautiful out and my friends property is huge so we went up on the hill we would have sleigh-ride'd down if there was snow and needed an Idea...



We took the barrel (with a top that screws on) he has for feeding/grain and junk and put our smaller framed friend in it, dared him to go from the very top of the hill, and well, hilarity ensued.



No audio, but all you'd hear is all of us cracking up watching him go down.



Later on, another friend went and the way he made it flop around uneven, the barrel did a jump and he ended in an "Endo" position on his head!

 

nice did anyone throw up?

 

looks fun..



did it take a while for your friend to recover ?

 

Actually, no, and no. My one friend (who was with me tearin apart that FC we put the reman in) wanted to try it, and only did it from about 1/4 of the way up. When he got out he said it wasn't that bad....so the other kid (the one who owns the FC we worked on) said he'd do it from 1/2 way up...when he got out he said it wasn't that bad...



So we all said "Okay not bad eh? You're going from up top the hill, the WHOLE thing"...which was funny because on the footage we got from my friends camcorder, you hear him go "I'm NOT going from the top!" then it cuts out and the next time he starts recording the kid is getting in the barrel up top on the hill. Heh.

 

need a ramp near the bottom.

 

like a ski jump

 

I'm sure one of us would have had to been brought to the hospital if we went off of a ramp. It was like being in a car accident that just wouldn't end until they opened the top of the berral and you could step out. Three of us did it in all.



If anyone tries this, use plenty of pillows to support your head,neck, and back.

It was fun. The kind of fun you do once, have it video taped, and never do again.

 

that looks like something me and my friends would try. Except we'd hook the barrel up to a truck or something.
