You should see one of those axle tramp!.Then we used to get the electric forkhoist we used in the shop and spin it out too.Another game we played was to get an old ring gear and bowl it along the yard,someone would try and catch it on a fork.
I dunno about the young guys of today,they should lock them all up and take their toys away....back in my day we didn't do stupid dangerous things,oh no,we were good boys....
Never saw the truck ..but used to get the fork lift hopping ..also had it on two wheels round corners..err most corners ...
aparantly people have been hurt doing that .....oh well i was 16 going on 100 ...more like 12....
happy days,,,,
