    Indeed he does, but I'm a chicken. No thanks. I'll bring a ramp.

      That is cool. When they dug our trenches for hooking up to the sewer, they unloaded a small one off a flatbed in that manner.

        You would think a ramp would be faster too.

          Pretty impressive. I kept waiting for something to break and come crashing to the ground.

            A few years ago, there was a video about one of those moving from car to car on a freight train. It used the same principle.

                  When I first saw this thread I though of the wild onions that grow in East Tennessee that are called "ramps." From what I am told, ramps are definitely not for sissies. Interesting video.
