Thumper’s Balls
As many of you know my good buddy Thumper sends me various toys to bust from time to time. Recently he sent me a pile of these little rubber playballs to dispatch with. I figured they’d make good victims for my nice, heavy MX boots. Hope you all enjoy 
Turbulence
Two airplane (and F-35, nonetheless) videos in a week?! Yes it’s true. As well, my first solo video of the year to boot, for those of you who’ve been waiting. Hope you enjoy
Rangers on a Plane
Strangers on a train? Snakes on a plane? RANGERS ON A PLANE! Less Samuel L. Jackson, but more ranger-on-ranger-on-inflatable action. This is probably the most risque video I’ve posted since I started doing this a few years back, and I know it won’t be everybody’s cup of tea (though I have done my best to keep it PG-13 rated). For those who are just here for the pops, skip to ~5:45 and 6:55.
Rangers are: myself in the red suit, and my friend from the previous Inflatapalooza series, who shall henceforth be known as ArmoredLooner, in the black suit. Enjoy!
Still Alive…
Hey all. Sorry for the unplanned and unexplained hiatus, but my life has been absolutely crazy these past couple of months. Hopefully things will get back to normal here soon. I did just finish up another visit with my friend from the first set of Inflatopalooza videos, and we shot more footage. I don’t know how much of it will make it here, as some of the reviews on those seem to be mixed. That said, here’s some popping from his visit to give you a preview
P.S. There may have been another biker in the mix in a few of the shots. 
I need to check with him to see whether or not he wants his handle released. If so, I’ll update this post later.
Inflatopalooza 2010: Beachball Drop
Last weekend one of my good gear+inflatable friends decided to pay me a visit. He hasn’t made videos before and we’re still working on an alias for him. For the time being, let’s just call him Mr. X. We filled a 3-day weekend and 5 video tapes with inflatable destruction. This is the first video in what should be a long series A beachball drop and popping contest. I don’t remember the final tally, but I know that he beat me by about 5 points. Scoring: 1 point for most, 2 points for the flame beach balls, 5 points for the little blue jet but it has to be the last thing popped, otherwise -5.
Product Testing
Recently I learned about Rhode Island Novelty from a couple of different sources. All of them told me that they sold cheap, crappy inflatables that popped too easily. Perfect
My thoughts
Horses: Fun, wish they were bigger, stupid squeakers are a PITA to remove (and even more annoying if left in).
Small B&W orcas: Squeakers are easy to remove, cheap (but small). Nice bang
Dolphins: These have bells in them… not squeakers… FUUUUUUUUU- Otherwise, they also pop rather nicely… jingle jingle jingle POP!
Big blue whales: These are actual Bestway ride-ons. An amazing deal for $4.80 / ea.
Birthday Bust 2009, Part 3
Annnnnd I’m spent! You cannot imagine just how beat I was by the end of this. I spent the better part of a day setting this up, filming it, and cleaning up the mess that I’d made. Was it worth it? Of course. Will I do it again next year, only bigger? Hell yes!
Birthday Bust 2009, Part 2
The madness continues. One of these days I will pop a boat without the assistance of an air compressor.
Birthday Bust 2009, Part 1
New content! Hooray! I know a lot of you have been eager to see this, and I’ve been busting my ass (literally and figuratively) to get it put together and online. Even though I no longer have to deal with YouTube’s 10 minute video limit, I’ve broken this video up into a few chunks (3 to be exact) as it’s a long one. Lots of different gear, different balloons, and different inflatables. One thing that I’ve wanted to do ever since I got into inflatables a few years back was to pop a whole pile of them and, well, you’ll just have to watch the video and see how things turn out.
One last item of note: some new gear that I’ve alluded to previously makes an appearance in this video. Happy birthday to me
