Hoo-Ray I Won!!! Crap....

[Skipper]

2 days ago I was down the shore at the board walk, In Sea Side heights NJ, anyway, I'm sure your all familiar with those games on the boardwalk and crap they give you when you win. Well you know that ring toss game where you have to land the ring over the bottles neck? Well it happens on my 3rd toss i got it, the guy almost poop. So I had a pick between a mountain bike or a electric scooter, I took the scooter, cause i figured if i didnt like it i could sell it to some kid for a few hundred bucks hehe. Anyway, I get home and put it all together and charged it up overnight. The thing looked neat, but was a little small though, so anyway i get up and take it for a spin, it barley moves at 5mph maby 9 downhill, and its charge last shorter than eating a bag of chips. Just today the rear wheel decided to split for some un-known reason, and its not keeping a charge for more than 10 min now, even though book says 2 hours. Well for 5 bucks i guess it was worth the thrill of winning the un-winnable.

You got yourself an escape vehical now! Go rob a bank :

 

[KoRnKiD]

bummer dude ohh well sell it for some $$$

 

[Skipper]

lol, yea I am, but now my mom is telling me to give it to my little cousin, but ill just keep telling her hes to young, yea one kid was going to buy it for 50 down at the boardwalk, but I decided to keep it. If i knew it was such poop, I wouldve taken the 50.

Man the carnies will hate me for this but I'm telling anyhow.

When you play the bottle ring toss, stack 3 rings together, holding them with your hand facing downward (as if you were picking something up). Then, lightly toss them towards a bottle that is right on the edge closest to you.

You will pull it off in under a bucket every time.

This is a possible technique for the odd colored bottles on the inside, but you will more than likely get caught and they will toss you anyhow. If they raise the 'big prize' bottles up too high, it becomes that much more impossible.

BTW, congrats!

 

[SilentGTboy]

so the rings are vertical or horizontal?

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

Christian, so you hold them in a fist facing down and throw them? Are the rings horizontal or vertical? Do you have a pic?

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Rings are horizontal. As if you were to stack them on a table. Better yet, stack 3 on the ledge where your bucket is, then pick them up with your fingers.

When you throw them, try to keep them in the same position as if they were stacked on the table.

lol - you guys will thank me by the end of summer when you win hehehehehehe

I'll have to try that out. Hey skipper where in Jersey u live?

 

[Skipper]

Team 17, I am from Metuchen, about 15 Min from Linden, I used to live there, on west morrise ave, been in Metuchen 5 years now. Now i just want to move the hell outta this state, to damn crowded now.....Do you race at all or know of any good places where people get together, seems like theres not enough RCers in jersey.

 

[Team 17]

I plan to start racing my mugen in Edison next year. The track is at Middlesex college which is Roar santcioned. I usually run my RC at Kean University with Robriguez. During the weekend there is a few people running their RC there. Other than that ur right there isn't that many RC'ers. If u like the three of us can get togther a bash around. We both have off and on roads. Look at our galleries. What do u have? I'll check ur gallery. If ur interested send me an email or PM.

 

[Skipper]

Team17, yea man I would love that, right now I have a T-maxx, pretty up for offroad but I can handle it good on road also, looking to get a NTC3 also. But let me know what your email is or email me [email protected] and let me know when your going to get together and race at edison. I'm about 10 min from middlesex college. I never knew they had a RC track, ill have to stop by there sometime.

 

[Team 17]

Here is the site.

I will email u later on today.

 

[RobH]

will the carnies get pissed if they see you tossing three rings at a time?

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Yes! They have signs at every one of them that says 'One Ring At A Time', thus, the first dead giveaway that multiple rings at once is the trick

 

[Skipper]

Hmm didnt even see the sign, plus the guy did watch me throw the rest of the rings after I won, probably thought I was trying to cheat somehow.
Anyway, Team 17, ill check my email in a few, and that link you gave for edison dosnt work, maby typed it wrong, but ill I'm you.
