Ok, not the thread starter, but absolutely fits in perfectly.

Wait isn't youtube a channel? Are we supposed to recommend a channel on the channel?
If so where do individual videos go?

Yeah, I first heard of Stadium Super Trucks a few weeks ago and at first assumed it was a video game based on the screen shot of trucks jumping ramps on a closed course. Insane...

Trick race car chassis built to keep the back wheels flat, and alternating which front to lift, then stick a flimsy truck looking body on it. The hardest part is making able to cope with the landings without screwing up handling.
The next video up was from Australia and the trucks were more civilized looking like modified standard trucks.

Welding helmets. Who knew?

I liked this video, Google's year in search 2020.

and if you have any tears left, this one will wring them out.

I don't know if I'd seen the ostrich one before.

That was cool.

And a little creepy.

Battle of the bands:

shout out to xoB's shamisen ZZ Top cover (I think that was what it was...)

BigV · 1/11/2021 10:34 pm

This reminds me of why I love the internet.

Like the youtube poster, I had no idea this existed until it was viral.

I must say I find the rhythm and the harmony of the Wellerman highlighted at the start of the video irresistible. It sounds magical. Shanties, ballads, work songs, hauling shanties vs heaving shanties, it's worthy of inclusion in the TIL thread (wherever that is these days).

Anyhow, the video is great, and the things it brings to light/ear are equally delightful. Enjoy!

Hi xoB

You gave me a tip a thousand years ago about putting a 2x4 at the lowest edge of my ramps to let my low to the ground VW Golf get up the ramps without pushing the ramps forward (forever) with the bumper before ever getting the tires on the ramp.

THANK YOU.

I have since re-homed the Golf to a good family. So my little Ranger doesn't have this problem anymore. But I did recently come across this video and was fondly reminded of our whole interaction in this regard. Here's a quick take on some BETTER ramps (<$20) that do the job.

I miss you guyz.

Nice find! (we miss V too)

Not around here (could be, but, I don't think so). Maybe less than $20 if ya make em outta found lumber. Looks to be several feet of 2x6 or 2x8. That's gonna fly right by $20.

Maybe the lumber is cheaper out there where they grow it.

Here's a link that offers a 2x8x10 Douglas Fir for $8. Two of them including tax out here where we grow'em still gives you change from your $20.

Come out here for trees, stay for the lumber.

That ramp only lifts it up 6¼ inches, not enough for a fat guy.
