    Tow behinds suck when they are brand new.

    After having been rode hard and put away wet in the rental world??? They suck even worse.

    This one would move 12-18" side to side with a light breeze blowing...

    125' Monstrous bugger...

    Deceptive because it's proportionally big, but the thing is massive. The top of the grey engine cover and the blue metal pivot point is easily 10-12' tall...

    After the company man left, yes, I took it to 125'...

    Way not cool compared to a tower...

    Neighbor on the street was telling me that in order to get lift certified they had to take one of those straight up all the way, and turn it in a full circle and come down. No thanks.

    This was actually about a month ago. She is with ITF (International TKD Federation), but I bought a WTF (World TKD Federation).
    So, she is the only kid who is wearing the WTF TKD uniform ,and other are wearing ITF. LOL

    Thankfully the instructor and masters did not care. One of the only TaeKwondo place that masters are not trying to rip off parents.
    It Thornton TKD is also associated with city of Thornton, and you can register it with city activities guide. It is about 20% of the price of regular TKD/Jujit/Karate/Judo/Kendo classes.

    I was on a basic scissor lift 25' inside the shop. Not being one for heights and having to extend it to get in to the tight corners of the interior roof. If it wasn't my shop and my electrical guy said No you can't use it after i'm gone. There's no way in hell i'd ever climb on a basic one, let along one going 40 - 125' in the air.

    However once over coming the fear and said fuk it,. There's nothing like doing donuts on new concrete.

    So *that's* why you always volunteer to hold targets at the Pueblo matches!
