A challenge...

Postby Wing Nut » Wed Jul 13, 2005 4:57 am

Well, with all the kiddies out there nowadays, it's time to shake things up a bit and show you guys what it's all about.

So, here is a challenge:

This is the Grand Canyon.  What's the biggest thing you can put through (NOT OVER!) here at the fastest speed?

Let's see what you're REALLY made of!  ;D
