Aerial view of a new monster truck jump derby

I was just out flying and took this video of Tom Meents monster truck jump ramps at his Paxton home. Tom has won the world championship monster truck contest 11 times and he lives in my hometown. You can see his truck in toy stores all over under the Mattel brand.

Do the neighbors complain about the noise... LOL

Are those white boxes on the approach bee-hives? I have been thinking to get into tending bee-hives, I hear local honey is good for allergies and health in general.

Stan ... from 0:11 to 0:17 there is a small Caterpillar-bulldozer heading back to the yard on the right hand side in the video

He probably was grooming the jump-hills or something

When I was on the farm I always looked to see what was flying in the sky .

When you fly in the sky I always look to see what is going on on the ground.

I think I have a split personality.

John- Those are solid concrete buttresses to stop run away monster trucks. I used to have a bee keeper from Ohio that tended several beehives in my woods. But some kind of mite widespread across the country got into the hives and wiped them out. All the bees in my area died. They are beneficial to pollinating crops. The bee keeper would give me several quarts of honey each year.



Arnie- Yea...he was grading as I flew over. He waved. Tom is a real cool guy. Has made millions with his monster trucks and he is always helping out needy families. A very good man with a good heart.

Stan
