    With my luck that rope would break and slam in the noggin'. Either that or the posts would come unwound like an airplane propeller and I'd have to learn that ninja stuff real quick to fend them off.

    That seemed kind of dangerous, but it also looked like he was being very thoughtful of his safety. I liked the loops that were used to keep the lever from airplane propellering. Jeez, what can't you do with two sticks?

    Thanks for the video.

    Can recall,.... rolling a 5 ton flatbed truck by sticking a 6ft length of pipe into the wheel slots on the duelies....used as lever to get it rolling.....
    Then pop the clutch....to get it started.....little more to the story....but worked...
