i got a new toy!!!!! =D
sorry, guys, it's a tractor tire, lol.
one of the neighbours kindly donated it. i managed to flip it twice, but i'm not up to flipping it all the way home just yet. he said it takes two guys to carry it, but doesn't know how much it weighs, exactly.
the only problem is that it's all smoothed down - damned near impossible to get a grip on it. i'll have to put handles or something.
w00t!!!!!

Don't put handles, thats a good way to work your grip  .

i tried - but it's kinda warped and smoothed out and it won't stay balanced on edge. that's how i ended up flipping it twice - once to get it going, then once again to put it back until i can find someone with a truck.

The part where you mention flipping the tyre, that's exactly what the worlds strongest men do in the competions. I love watching them compete in the farmers walk. Do you out the US get World's Strongest Man on TV?
