My son (Liam) has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, so seeing someone do this in an effort to raise funds for combating the disease really warmed my heart. If you have a few bucks, be sure to send it the family at www.hopeforgabe.org or donate to our own fundraising efforts to fight this terrible disease.

caraca, animal!!!

 

It reminds me of the Matchbox cars I used to have when I was a kid, complete with track and catapults. How long was the track and how fast was the car going? It must be all the editing that made it seem faster than it was.

If I had those launchers, track and Matchbox cars, I'd stick ten launchers in series, make ten stations, and make a track that goes from Blackheath Common to the O2 (most of the route is downhill).

Wow !

Awesome! Those kids got one hell of a dad

Yea, from my own experience as a kid, it would be a feat in its self if that car didn't launch off the track a few times. And unless there were a dozen cameras, you couldn't catch all of that so well. But that said, a very cool track and video, the pool jump funnel was pretty cool.

Good editing, I'd say.

The hot tub jump was awsesome!  That would be awesome with a neon car and blacklights. I remember my tracks and trying to find just the right car to run them- I was always bummed because my favorites wouldn't run well.

I also had these cars called DARTA, I think.  They had their own motors.
