Been busy building tables. Tables for what you might ask...well, I got a call from the Producer of a Japanese TV Network (Nippon TV) They are planning to duplicate this stunt (see youtube)
Only they plan on using a Jet Bike. They needed 7 tables some 5m long and some 1m long for a total of 15m worth of table that they can set up for a jet bike to yank the table cloth. Im not making a ton on it but Ill do ok, the best part is being able to see this thing first hand. If it goes off I will post pics on Wed. I deliver the tables on Sunday and they will set everything up between then and the 1st. Should be a "BLAST" no matter what happenes |

I might be in big trouble.........I surfed the Nippon TV site and Maya, the girl that I have been talking to about building tables for the jet bike stunt......the same girl I offered to give a ride on the Valkyrie tour of Pensacola and Judy said it was ok, she was probably a fatty.............oh man! I got her pic today from their site  |

Turns out the Maya I was talking to was a different Maya....still good looking but not a swimsuit model. I took her for a run down the 1/8 mile strip..........got to 90mph or so it was a blast.......those are all my tables in the background. They did a couple test runs with a pro stock race bike and had good results so Wed we get the jet Bike, jet car and the real deal. Today was a blast and all worked out well.........in case youre wondering Judy is the one taking the pictures of us on the bike, so even I get to live after this one!!!  |

Congrats on the table order, Jeff. Will we get to see the stunt on this side of the big lake?

Ok, turns out there was no rocket bike...it was a rocket car. Holy cow this thing had the engine from an f-5 and it passed 100mph in the first second. they hooked that bad boy up to our table and all you heraed was a "pop" and not only was the table cloth gone (all 10m of it) It was so far down the track you couldnt barely even see it. All in all it was a great time, my tables worked perfectly and no one had to die. Vehicles used altogether: by hand 10 speed bike pro sport motorcycle electric dragster rocket car The best run by the rocket car nothing fell off the table, nothing hardly moved except one apple that fell out of its dish take a look      |

How much did you have to pay to be there?
That is some coolness right there.

exactly  They paid me (just a little) for the tables, then I volunteered the 16hr day yesterday to tie all their rope ends to the various vehicles and keep the tables flat. I was just one of the crew for a day |
