Party Entertainment

Every good party has some form of entertainment-and this is how we roll at home. AJ lives next door to one of his good friends and they have a lot of acreage together. His buddy has an interesting hobby...jumping cars. And they build these car ramps on his property. So they decided to go ahead and have a jump during the party. Yup, you don't get much more "redneck" than that! LOL :)

Everyone is getting ready to watch the jump.

Here is the car. They rigged it up so that there was a brick holding down the gas pedal and the rod to help keep the steering wheel straight.

We were waiting awhile for them to get everything set up, so we moved on up to watch from one of the jumps they weren't using. It was at this time that my memory card on my camera ran out, so I had to run to AJ's garage to get a new one. They were pretty much ready to go at that point, so I was really trying to get back in time and be ready to go before they started the engine. While I was running I was trying to put in the new card, and in doing so was putting it in the wrong way. I ended up bending a prong in the reader slot-effectively breaking my nice camera :( Ugh.

Lucky for me, I still had Sandy's camera and was able to record the jumps on hers.

Be advised that someone says the "S" word during this video-but I had to post this.

So as you can see, it didn't go as planned! And we no longer felt comfortable staying on the hill for any more attempts! So we moved on down to the ground where we could run if need be ;)
Unbelievably the car was still running and they decided to go again for another jump. This time someone decided to steer the car until the last minute and then jump out.

And then even after this jump the car was still going, so they did it again! I know I recorded that one too, but for some reason can't find it on my computer. I was sure to tell the boys over and over and over and over again that they were never never never never never NEVER allowed to do that...EVER! But hey, it is fairly entertaining :) And it helped that they had a doctor at the ready...the doctor being Micah :) Haha!
