Yes...Joe did a cartwheel infront of everyone that saw his 1056 weighed...it was great. Joe and I also had to trip the pumpkin drop. We ran for our lives afterwards....it was cool to see a 770 lb fruit splat after dropping 100 feet. Those pieces flew over in a diameter of 40-60 feet around the baseball diamond. It was a smash hit!! LOL

Case did any one get any good pictures of the drop. I was about an 1/8 of a second to fast. I have it contacting the ground and starting to explode. But not the orange splattering.
