I saw this kind of needless mech carnage in AI: Artificial Intelligence. Both equally pointless really.
I understand what you are thinking. Look at it from this perspective. In Alaska we don't have night time to enjoy fireworks. We do this instead. Now, how much does the average public or private enterprise spend on a high dollar full feature firework ceremony for sending them up in the sky just to go boom? Probably...WAY more - and in the end the people all say "ewwwww, ahhhhh, woooooow" and take pictures and enjoy the moment. Same thing - just different boom. In this case "Mostly" clapped out, worn out vehicles with non-rebuildable titles and more...just going out in a blaz of glory.
Seriuosly bro,I understand the corvette part but Barbie,she put a smile on the little boys faces)
The little kids loved this one. It was fun to see it go. David and Nancy bought it in Oregon - painted it pink, added the stickers, did some repairs and drove it all the way to Alaska to send it off. It was a base model 1990 Corvette with the 350 TPI, auto trans, and solid removable top. It has about 130k on it when they sent it.

Hello
Hello!!!! What was your favorite launch???
@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures the van
What a shame, and waste of a Fall Guy truck😢They should have restored it, and made it into a Tv-series icon movie car insted.
I appreciate your comment and understand what you are saying. But have you watched the play list I made for it yet? Or just check out the video I just uploaded about it. I did save one of the abandoned parts trucks and am seeking input about what I should do. I am not planning on launching this other one.
@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures Hi'. Thanks. I Will watch the video, and thanks for keeping the other truck. The Fall Guy tv series is my Childhood memories, watching tv with my dad, awesome tv with Lee Majors.
@@klausjensen7412 that’s awesome! Those old tv shows really got ingrained to our characters growing up. I am hoping they have a box set or something soon for the whole Fall Guy series as we can only get up to season three with what is online right now.
@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures A complete Fall Guy DVD Box Set would be awesome.
Surprised you did not keep the hood as a garage hanger, guess someone else already had it?
@@spamanator666 that is my big regret. Before I could even get back to my camper and get a 1/2” wrench a girl peeled the hood sticker off. When I found the truck at the salvage yard it was totally ripped off - like they bent it and bent it until it came off. It would have been the crown jewel to keep.
is it true yall women their tastes like wild cuaght trout?
Good question. I have no idea if they do or not. Salmon is the big ticket around here. The fresher the better
The way that role bar Sprang out in the first hit...
I know. It was like “peace out!” And self ejected. It was only held in by zip screws. The GoPro was attached to it.
I think it should be my vacation truck when I come to see you on vacation. I mean I will settle for the Camaro if I have to.
That’s a plan!!!!!!
Non riuscirò msi a capire voi americani. Qui in Italia ci fanno sentire dei criminali se non facciamo la raccolta differenziata delja spazzatura, lì da voi è usuale lanciare auto giù da un precipizio.
I have the tailgate off that unit ! Nobody could find it but I noticed the truck was sitting on top of it , crawled under and dragged it out !
Awesome!!!!!! What kind of shape was it in? Like could it be reused or was it hosed???
@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures it’s not that bad honestly. I think it could be reused . What shocks me is how heavy those things are . I walked it all the way up the hill . I can send you some pics if you had an email
Man, that's some crazy stuff!!!! Awesome! Would definitely like to see this in person!
That would be cool! It would be awesome if you could bring your rig up here too and we could take you way out on the trails.
Even though it was built for a purpose, it would still be hard for me, I think.
It was very hard for me to see it go. But it was also awesome. Many mixed feeling as one time.
I'd love to try that course, minus the mud pit tho.
@@BuildItWheelItExploreIt a lot of people skipped the mud bog. Looked okay to stay to the left.
Man what an awesome group of rigs! Lots of different types and styles!
Yes they are! We have a lot of different types of off road rigs around here.
Great job Chris!! Can’t wait to see what your creative mind and build skills do with this truck!!
Thank you!!!!! Hopefully we make a wise choice with how we proceed.
One of my biggest dreams is to have a truck like it! and it's sad to see people who simply make trash out of them....... 😱😢
I understand what you are saying. Check out the play list or my most recent video of how we built that truck from four abandoned trucks and a lot Of creative body work.
I still have a poster of Heather Thomas, I liked her way better than Heather Locklear.
Yes! 100%, but honestly I’d be happy to take either one of them out for a cup of coffee and some good conversation!
The fall guys last jump..
Yes! Exactly!!!!!! It may have all been over in a few seconds after six months of busting butt to build it...but what an amazing send off it was.
How did the frame survive the jump?
I have thought about it more. It looked like a pretzel but with it being mild steel it might be able to be straightened. They damaged it more crushing it down to fit on the car hauler three and four high.
that looked awesome
@@CoolTwinzz it was epic.
That's was some fd up shit on the corvette as for the truck if it wasn't for the knob on the bonnet it would've been a pure waste)
David and Nancy went way up and above to put that Corvette in the event. I have to say they really put on a show. Rumor is they bought another one when they got home - but the new one is a keeper.
@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures sorry bro my bad,wish them all the best on their new vette)
better than fireworks
@@ntucson669 100%
Impressive build for something to be destroyed... without a STUDIO checkbook! This deserves more views!
Thank you!!!
that poor chevy fall guy truck, i wld loved to have that, didnt look in bad shape at all
That was my intention to give the impression of a really nice truck. Check out my playlist on it. I also just uploaded episode 16 which is the final of the series.
How many car destroy in this 4 july ceremony...
People are hard up for entertainment this is the stupidest thing ive ever seen
RIP Saab 9000
Yep. But it went out with a bang
Here in Brazil these cars would cost a lifetime to buy with minimum wage no joke lol Have a good one
Wow! That I didn’t know.
Horrible camera work
Sorry it wasn’t better. Just me and a GoPro and family and friends on phone. If you want to see higher resolution check out the video from 1320 and or revalaska. Both are now up.
What an really stupid yearly event, Alaskan's must be extremely bored to death in their lives to go watch & enjoy this. Just save the trouble & watch real life highway crash videos on KZread if you wanna see destruction of vehicles! I've seen this event before on Discovery channel or etc., don't remember which one of those cable channels I saw it one maybe in the last 2 or 3 years.
Just something you have to see to understand. And don’t forget we don’t get night during the summer so fireworks are useless here.
I love watching these, ya'll got to see 1 year if whistlin' diesel would want to help that would be epic.
He would probably turn it way up a few notches!!!
Y a un peut plus de monde que les premières années !!!! , bravo !! ...:Q)
Thank you! It was really amazing this year.
This will be a sweet truck! 4spd and hydroboost!
That’s the plan!
Idiocracy come to life.
You just have to see it to understand it.
That us,really freaking stupid to destroyed a rare Fall Guy truck!!! This type of event should be banned
Check out my playlist of how we built that truck and let me know what you think then. We tried really hard to make a stunt double that would look spectacular for the few moments of its last big scene.
There goes a perfectly good hard to find np205
It broke it in half.
Totally awesome wish we had this in pa
@@diydenny9423 maybe one day. You have gravel pits there. Maybe an unsanctioned event when the cops are on the other side of town.
That's a cool torque converter shop. Some of those machines were cool, they were specifically designed to do one job perfectly.
Exactly! They saved the day. Great people there too. First time I had ever seen inside a torque converter
I can't believe they did that to that chevy....
Check out my playlist for this Fall Guy truck build. It will show the how and why.
Don’t think I’d wanna be in the front row with all the parts flying around
Agreed
🤘🤘🤘
Yes!!!!!!
You going to make a shop truck out of it?
We haven’t decided for sure yet. Today was about breaking in the cam and temp swapping some recent rust free sheet metal I picked up for it. Maybe????
I felt sick after seen the GMC "fall guy truck" in the line up and going over. That was terrible, I wanted that truck before the cliff. lots of other junk to drive or push over than that square body.
I understand exactly what you are saying - Have you watched the playlist to see how and why we put it together out of four different abandoned trucks? kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJyBmtZmhaWwgKw.htmlsi=DY57GjXqABmPcN8G
" Comon' chevy your blue balling me " lmao
@@tailsdblack463 my wife tried to talk me into editing that out, but it was too funny to not leave it in.
Not the square body!
Check out the playlist I put together that shows how and why we built that square body for this event - My goal was to make it look totally clean and rust free...did I succeed? kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJyBmtZmhaWwgKw.htmlsi=DY57GjXqABmPcN8G
@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures I'd say so. Looked good in the video! I just love those old trucks!
I live in Phoenix Arizona and every year I watch this. Would love to go, it gets bigger and bigger every year
It is a blast. I hope they have it next year, but the river bank keeps chewing away the land and may not be anywhere for spectators to watch.
Well, the third car was NOT an accord - it was actually a Ford Cougar!
There was a cougar there - but it was a different color.
@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures 1320video said that the red car that was about to splash into the water was a Cougar.
I love this country. Now If I can only get my hands on the free money JB is giving to the illegals that I saw them spending to day...
Right! Me too
Why did I think this was in Pa.?stupid internet
At least it got you here - Alaska is a bit further away but I'm sure we had people from PA at the event. People from all over the world showed up.
