    Riding inside a 33 yard Terex Shovel Video ! COOL !

    yes, he was very talented , after driving back and forth the exact same four block distance for several months you can almost look down for 2 seconds and stay exactly in the center of the road. That is also why a 8 foot burm is required on all edges , ha,ha.
