Toolndie7 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah thats actually a VERY competitive sport. These guys break out all the fancy levels and everything.
greenmist Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 We used to go to a BMW bike rally in MO where this was done every fall rally. It's very cool to see up close and personal. I forget the entire folk lore-style story behind the feat! It's an old tradition.
Matt.Cross Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) We used to go to a BMW bike rally in MO where this was done every fall rally. It's very cool to see up close and personal. I forget the entire folk lore-style story behind the feat! It's an old tradition. If memory serves, it stems from the era of the Civil War when blacksmiths were your armourers when units were on the move. The Yanks got the bright idea that blacksmiths couldn't help the Rebs too much without the benefit of their anvils. Anvils being what they are, unless you are Tom, they're not really a piece of cake to destroy. Supposedly the Yankee command came up with the idea of blowing anvils up, and gave up on that idea very quickly after discovering that flying anvils posed a greater threat to the Yankees than they were coming back down on than the rebel blacksmiths. Makes a great story, but I have no idea of if it's credible. No matter what, it's awesome to watch something so incredibly heavy disappear into the sky for 6 - 8 seconds.

jtallen83 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 I haven't seen that done since I was a kid, fond memories I don't dare pass on in this political climate. :'( My Grandpa was very firm in the idea that, "Every man should know how to blow poop up." he taught me how to mix it right for digging holes and removing stumps when I was 12, mom wasn't very happy. The local druggist just looked at me funny when I would order 5 pounds of potassium permanganate >:D
