of these raised and angled mini-trampoline platforms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSWs_FpA5vEThis'd be day one, and only a portion of the half-assed beta tests. We're going somewhere tragically beautiful with this, I can just feel it in my so far intact bones. Including to the hardware store to make additional, taller trampolines. [edit] Link didn't work, because the video had to be changed a touch. Fixed now.

I know, I know - Too vanilla. We were thinking that too. So now Howitzer and I jumped through a "V" ring of fire. Yes, I'm determined to refer to it that way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGKQZQdSfH4

Make a circle and then put the "Ring of Fire" b Johnny Cash in the background and you'll have reddit worth it material.

The circle is easier than using Johnny Cash in a youtube video and not getting a cease and desist, and/or the audio just ripped out.

I assume you can sing it yourself then.

That'd probably be funnier. My follow-up idea was to try to make a cover on our Kaossillators.

Well I've always been an arrogant bastard on that front. We're just waiting on my buddy with the guitar and the blue grass sensibility to have some time to accompany.
If I'm gonna do this, I'm doing it right.

You should light some fire next to the raft to make the landings more dangerous entertaining.
I think the ring of fire cover will def. augment the enjoyment of the videos.

duuddee, don't burn that bad-ass beard off in the process, that's taken many moons to be that burly, I think the beard's almost as impressive as the fire flips. As for those, that's some sicc shit, we need more big ball'd dudes like you

Spec: See, the raft being far away from fire is the single biggest concern to us here... It probably shouldn't be, but it is. Handmade, rare, big waiting list, and WAY expensive new or used.
If Brody or I catch on fire, we heal. The shredder doesn't. I do agree that the Cash cover will bring it over the top later. I'll hopefully have a Wheatley mask to wear while singing it, to make it stranger.
U-G0D: Hah, thank you kindly! Yeah, the beard... I love my beard. I'm going to be in California next week on business, and they may want me to shave... They're not going to get that, but I think they'll want it. That would require Billy Mays money - and HE had a fucking beard.

What about putting some sort of fire totem or something along those lines within a reasonable distance? That should control the fire enough not to risk the raft but provide enough threat for you guys to get fucked up if you miscalculate the landing  Do you guys have access to mini bikes? You should rent one and do crazy shit on it! Maybe jump over the ramp through the ring of fire on it..... If you perform something like this use this song on the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcwFuck ... So many ideas .....

See, any fire down at raft-level's a safety concern (for the raft) because, even when there's NOT an exercise ball under half of it (that makes the landings softer, if you were wondering), the raft occasionally moves with us. We can't guarantee the raft won't hop 3 feet over and into fire. Mini-bikes aren't particularly my thing... More likely to do more ATV or souped-up gokart stunts. 4 wheels are better than 2, especially when you're already flipping off physics. Though if it makes you feel better Triple Trampolines, with EXTREME PLANKING!!!1!!1!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzHWwwEzRZMKenny thought that bit would be funny. I can't question that the shot looks nice.

Ok from your previous post here is what my brain processed:
"Go Kart stunts + Fire".

Try as I might, I can't think of too many legitimate "stunts" to be performed with fire and what is essentially a lawn mower. Jumping off of it isn't consistent enough to to a ring.

Damn it!!!! You keep killing my ideas. Alternative idea: Ring of fire + Raft + Knives + Some bullseye type target = Extreme darts .... go forth and do it!

Much more plausible - though any stunt involving knives and the raft requires some pretty tight planning, for the same reason raft+fire=bad. I'll mull it over and see what we can do. Do finally have actual throwing knives. In the meantime, there's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoBaA8ZPuQw

Spec: For the same reason we can't keep knives on fire in the air, I doubt the ring would stay on fire when it's literally rolling along the ground. Wind isn't a fire's friend, and centrifugal force simulates it well.
Kungfoo: Too many pictures of diseased and dissected genitals at that link for me to feel at ease there... What do people NORMALLY do with that shit?
