Pumpkin Challenge 2022
Oct 6th, 2022 at 11:59pm
 
Even if only a couple of us post a video here, it would be crazy not to have a topic for this on the forum.

So we're a go for the Pumpkin Challenge 2022.

Rules are simple.  Get a pumpkin and ding, dent, crack, smash, whatever...just bust it up with some nice slinging!

Let's go!  Cheesy

Awesome!  I'm hoping to record mine either Sunday or Monday.  So as long as I can hit the bloody thing I should have a video before too long.

Awesome video man!  You have that fire working really well.

One of these years we're going to run out of ideas and have to just sling stones at pumpkins again.  Grin

Absolutely brilliant. I was giggling because I feel the frustration unfolding.

Great video IG!  That was a fantastic idea!  Plywood is definitely some tough stuff.

It's funny that ever year we keep raising the bar with these pumpkin challenges.  And in one way or another, you, Mersa, and I were all kind of defeated by the pumpkin this year.  Huh

Yeah, It wouldn't have been right if I'd succeeded, it would have been totally off theme. Smiley

Okay so, mersa.
1) where did you get the armour piercing glandes ?
2) how did you get them burning ?
3) what was the sling pouch made of ?
4) what the hell actually exploded to kill the phone ?

Amazing video!

IG: great idea, love the crack you get with that new sling.
As far as ending the video.
I'd have grabbed the big rock and screaming: 'die you orange skinned bastard die !'
Smashed it with the big rock.
Maybe not strictly slinging, but ultimately satisfying Smiley

And what can I say Joe ?
Another weight record, actual pumpkins destroyed, awesome !

I had guessed you were going to sling small pumpkins at a big pumpkin.
Great job Smiley

Joe I forgot to say that I loved every moment of your video. Especially the grabbing of the pumpkin to chuck it against the plywood, and then to top it off with the slow roll away, LOL
