It seemed like he was actually OK - just stunned a little. 🙂

What was he thinking? That was one heck of a thrill ride and landing.

I drive the larger JCB 3CX (7.5tone) occassionaly and even i wouldent try some of the things more experienced drivers get away with though iv had my fair share of near misses 😀

Though the Dancing Diggers is something worth a watch if you get the chance, very good show. Though the drivers must have had a number of drinks before going on...

That second one is pretty tight spot. But leave it to a fellow Irishman (albeit he's from Tipperary) to get the job done 🙂

I've seen a number of the videos of the big front end loaders doing wheelies and whatnot - an amazing "feel" that these guys have with their machinery.

Here's a smaller one, but I remember looking on youtube at some HUGE machines doing this - but just haven't been able to find them tonight!

That was an interesting clip. Fellow Irishman? You're of Irish descent, Conor?

Yeah. Still a citizen of Ireland actually, just living here in America with a Green Card. I moved here in 1989 from Dublin. Followed that great Irish tradition of leaving the country for America to seek a new life and new fortunes. So far, it's panned out 😉
