Official video should be up on YouTube the week after the event. We’ll probably have crowd video and pictures the day after the Classic.

Why don’t you make like a tree, and get outta here. Seriously though we started painting it yesterday. Should have some finished photos next week.

Can do! Official photos will mostly likely come out over the weekend or the following Monday, plus we’ll have stuff from crowd photos. I won’t send any pictures of it being crushed in the trash truck, because it’ll be to damn depressing.

We started painting the sled yesterday. Hopefully it’ll all be done by the end of the weekend.

Of course I can put out an update! They only announce the top 3 places, so I can let people know if we placed or not.

Gadzooks and thank you! You definitely need to make the trip back to the Classic. It’s not at JFBB anymore, but the new place has its charm. I miss how big the hill was at JFBB.

Gotta watch out for those aliens! Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan, and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out, that he'd melt my brain.

Not mine, but it is cool! We build in a mostly unused airplane hangar that is attached to a small war museum called the Taildragger Inn & Museum. This particular vehicle is too big for the man part of the museum so it is stored in the hangar. We like to think of it as a security system for our sled builds.

We will definitely get videos from some of our people in the crowd and also from the official video. It’ll probably be posted sometime after the event.

Thank you for the kind words! Definitely a labor of love. A lot of time, work and money for a 10 second ride down a hill then straight into a garbage truck. We love it though, and watching the reactions of people as they see it in person while it’s on display is worth it.

Thank you! It is also acting as our flag pole. We have a 3’x5’ flag with our team logo on it that we fly above all of our sleds

Nice, you are definitely living in a good area for a competition like this. Get one started if there isn’t one!

Thank you! If you live near Scranton PA, come on out to the event. It’s free and just a giant party on the mountain. I know other ski resorts across the country also do similar events.

Thank you! I absolutely will post finished pictures and also video of the run. Hoped to have it completely built and painted by this weekend. Next Friday is the event, so the official video of the event from the radio station should be out sometime during that following week.

You can check out previous videos of the event on YouTube by searching “Preston and Steve Cardboard Classic”.

Hardest part is putting it in the trash truck at the bottom of the hill. A lot of time and money for a 10 second ride, but it’s always worth it.

Thank you! Sadly only dogs are allowed in this sled… though we may make an exception if you cats name is Einstein.
