where they're supposed to be.  I'm not sure if they would edit out a
thrown track (I would guess they would not based on the rest of the tv
show) but they never showed it throw one.  I saw them throw a 12" 2x4
into the drive sprocket with it running and it shredded it without so
much as a hiccup.  One of the brothers said "That's why we call it the
Ripsaw."

One of the more impressive bits on the tv show was the 4' static drop
test.  It just sort of	oozed back down into position with hardly so
much as a bounce.
