Nice! You’re really improving. I’ve got a kind of love hate relationship with my pallets. I have six (plus a few other obstacles) which are great to set up around my yard when I don’t want to go anywhere to ride. Now, the bad thing about pallets is that they are all in your head. I can get up 5 pallets (going for height), but when I add anymore I can’t. Now in real trials scenarios I have measured my height and I can get up the height of the six pallets, but at when hopping up the six pallets I can’t do it. Why? Because my mind is seeing six structures instead of one, and it appears to be much higher, therefor my mind pshycs me out into thinking I can’t do it, and then I really can’t do it. At least that’s what I think. ---

Nice job! I had the same idea in one of my recent videos. I have a Home Depot across the street and they also have a ton of pallets in the back so I jumped around on their pallets while an employee spyed on me! The first part of this vid is at Home depot!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKInVyymwUA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKInVyymwUA) so that’s where those pallets were, I didn’t have any employees spying on I did have a few curious customers spying on me though… I was going to go over to this place I say with even more pallets (some place that sells gravel) but I couldn’t remeber where it was at, but when I drove past they had about 15 stacks of over 100 or so pallets it was like heaven and those were just how many pallets I could see when driving past I’m sure they had WAY more… I’m going to go back there sometime and ask how much it would cost to buy some. ---

I’m the same way! I noticed also that in some shots, the camera angle changes and you can’t see all the action, then you probably review the playback and notice this, then reset the camera.😃 ---

haha its very eventful, u conquer one part of the line, then the next part u have to hav like 4 attempts then u get it, then u have to get the next part conquered haha, fun video, just a bit too long and gets repetitive.. u have a vast amount of pallets there, u should make heaps of different lines to practice on! i would love to have all of them! theres on place near me that has like 8 but its near factories and i rekon they would kick me out if they saw me stuffing round with their pallets… some kind of safety issues with them im guessing ---

I bet if you ask them nicely they’d let you take some of those pallets home. If you don’t have space there, stack them up in some random vacant, not in direct sight place. Falling on grass or dirt has less dire consequences physically, also helping w/ the mental side of it. > [@MuniAddict](#): > > Haha that’s funny! Nice job!

Oh and I was going to ask home depot how much it would cost to buy about 20 or 30 pallets, it would probably only cost the amount the deposit on the pallets was for them… if they recycle them I think for now I’ll stick to seat in… I’ll keepworking on SIF for now though… ---

I’m sorry if it sounded that way. I was just wondering because at the beginning when you had to get off the pallets and go turn off the camera, I figured you would’ve edited that part out if you knew how to. ---
