    Rolling down a hill in a tractor tire...

    ...is fun.

    I'm so bruised up right now...but it was worth it.


    And yes, it was my great idea to hold the camera inside the tire...

    Nice.

    I've never done that down hill, but I have been run around in a tractor tire before. It's freaking crazy!

    Two bad Illinois is flat and I don't have a tractor tire.

    Oh my GOD!!!! I'm not the only crazy person on here!!!

    My dad had a similar idea I always wanted to try,

    In elementary school he and a bunch of friends took a 4 foot diameter 15 foot long section metal drain pipe and got 5-6 people in it at the top of a hill and started running like in a Hamster wheel.

    He said at the bottom of the hill none of them were still on their feet.

    Always wanted to try it, but never found a big enough pipe.

    Done the tractor tire though, and a 55 gallon plastic barrel.

    I still don't think I'd've been able to run in it.

    They didn't for long, and they were kinda hunched over, hands on the front.

    The last time I did that was in 2nd grade, at our school's outdoor field day. I got so sick to my stomach that I threw up on some boy's shoes. :>

    Don't watch that video when you're drunk. It makes your head spin. Apparently.

    And, Maple, I didn't know you actually looked like your avatar.

    Oh man, you wouldn't believe.

    There's so many shenanigans one can get into when one has access to heavy machinery and hundreds of acres.

    I'll have to put more videos up...

    It was, but we were having wind problems so air time was at most 30 seconds, but usually less. We had to be driving directly into the wind, otherwise it wouldn't work. If we had a circular parachute we could have gone in any direction.
