Chuck Norris

This weekend we went to the Chuck Norris Action Fest and saw the legend.  It was a bit disappointing seeing him there, meekly walking around in a black suit, but he was there:

We pulled up and found a place to park, getting there early so we could have front row seats.  Several of the best stuntmen in the world were on hand to show us how it was done.   Unfortunately,  I was in awe of the dude flying 40 feet above our heads with a jet pack strapped on his back, that I forgot to take a picture.  Here is the pack without the guy attached.   As he came over the theater, they warned us to plug our ears.  What they did not warn us about was the sand and dirt that would be whipped up by his backwash when he landed 15 feet in front of us.   I sacrificed my body to dive on top of Jubal to protect him from the sand blasting.

Do you remember Delta Force 2?   Where Chuck Norris ( or rather his stunt double pushed the bad guy out of the plane without a chute, then dove after him?)   Well, the same stunt double did it again today,  except for the part where he pushed someone out of the plane.  

And with the wind blowing hard with 20mph gusts, he did a good job.  While missing the intended target 20 feet in front of the crowd,   he landed right in between the orange fence and the front row...

Amazing!!

Next the same dude suited up in fire resistant clothes and got torched.  Again, I was so in awe that I forgot to take a picture.  I didn't realize that they hold their breathe for the entire burning and extinguishing process.  It seemed like he held his for 2 plus minutes!!


Jubal wants to be a stunt man when he grows up!


Be sure to check back tomorrow,  I hope to have some exciting news posted.


Have a great day.
