I flipped the big one a few times tonight. I'm pretty pumped! I'd estimate it at around 900 lbs. Its a 26.5-25 loader tire, about 6' tall. The smaller one is probably about 400 lbs.

I know, I know. :biggrin: Wasn't thinking. I'll have the kid take a video.

I mostly train to hopefully live a little longer. Also I drive a desk so this kind of stuff keeps me from killing some of the boneheads I work with.

Have you taken a sledgehammer to them yet? (the tires, not your co-workers)

What a stud!

Get it? Tire? Stud? :biggrin:

Seriously, that sort of thing is supposed to be good muscle training, but I find myself in the category of "too old for that kind of s**t". Good for you!

That's cool stuff. My son is on a college swim team and they flip tractor tires back and forth across the football field to train.:w00t:

That's good business! I wish I had a yard to flip tires in. And some huge tires.

I'm thinking about picking up a couple--one to put in my garage so that I can roll it out into the driveway and bang on with a sledgehammer. Another big one to take over to my kid's middle school and lean up against the storage shed where all of the junk that nobody has tried to throw out for the last six or seven years is stashed. I figure that i can roll it out and play with it when I want (lots of people use the field on weeknights and weekends), and it'll just blend in with all of the other stuff when it's not in use.

Sounds like a plan, Nid! Beating tires is good weapon training as well.

Nice work, Dog!
