OOHH, Rocky! I can’t wait to start reading your blog again!!!
If the teeter goes to Moab, I’m buying a life/disablement insurance policy on each attendee. I’m going to make a fortune on Fall Moab ‘06. Please stress the "Fall" part.

I think, as per Rick M’s suggestion, that Brad or Kenny should load the thing onto a trailer to haul it to Fallmoab. Maybe the hotel would not mind if it were temporarily located in the courtyard. You know, for pre- and post-ride entertainment. Botched has to promise to ride it backwards, though.

Nice work Fatty!

I suggested to my wife that I build one of these. She said "Tell you what, I’ll break your arm now and save you the time and effort"

DP Cowboy, the outburst you hear at the end of one of the clips is Gary (Fatty’s recycled friend and neighbor) spontaneously orgasming due to the joy that the teeter brings.

I think I big "woohoo" goes out to you AND your helpers (your wife and son)! Job well done!

Looked scary. Wouldn’t want to try it though as I’ll stick with horse jumping. And you have to give Botched a thumbs up for attempting it with a borrowed bike in sandals (but ditch the socks!) without a helmet (or neckbrace as he so put it) due to, I’m sure, the lack of sleep, sex and brain cells that a new baby destroys. I think he did a bang up job under these conditions. Leave him alone already B21.

And Mike, you would have no probs going over it (it may just come down a little sooner for you is all). Riding the terrain in Australia must give you an advantage over us over here in pure civilization. Can’t spring for the ticket to help you prove it but will stand by this statement till it’s disproved.

Fatty, you and your buds all looked good going over it, even looked good falling off it. You do that with grace and that must come easy to you but is something that usuallly takes a lot of practice. Good luck finding somewhere to install it. I would call the local commissioner’s office as they can usually point you in the right direction for anything.

Good luck and good job,
Rene’

In the tall video I hear an exclamation at the very end and a quick neck jerk is seen, as if something happened out of view….can you elaborate, Fatty?

Also, only one of the three videos gives me a even partial look at the teeter returning to the "ready" position…can you post one up that has that in the video, or tell us adoring fans about how that part of the teeter works?

Thanks…you should have a nice serving of tiramisu with oreos to reward yourself for building such a cool thing.

I like it. However, you could have saved yourself quite a bit of work if you’d done it like wee Spencer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMl2jS0Y6Eg&NR

It held up??
My hats off to you, I honestly thought that it would come crashing down pretty quickly. Although in fairness to you Fatty, pPerhaps that is just years and years of watching my Dad build stuff…
Since you seem to have mastered teeters – why not try and build a vert ramp and try a new cycling challenge. That’s something I’D pay $50 to see. :)

Wow a "F-I-D" for Botched? Dr Botched? I had no idea. And on 1.5 lungs? THat may be the highest education/lung capacity ratio in all of Bikedom. OK Botched you can skip the blood and vomiting thing. Unless I am being set up by FC so he can get more free stuff……LOL

I suppose due to budget constraints, Teeter 2.0 wont be constructed w/ titanium and carbon fiber. Now that would be da bomb. BTW, great video. Now, back to my drywall-in-the new bathroom project.
