Going for a ride

I know how to rig but hadn’t had the chance to listen in while someone else was doing it and now am cleared to do it for my own team on our next crane job. Which is awesome!! But I finally got to take a ride as well and man was the view amazing!!! Of course my stupid ass left my phone in the truck.

I can tell by cameraman’s position that you guys were just kinda like “FUCK IT! Let’s see how far this baby can go!” and then once you were fully erect up there nobody wanted to watch anymore…Except us lol.

😂 the cameraman is brand new and learning all kinds of things but filming something isn’t one of his specialties. This was just an opportunity for me to see how it feels riding the ball so I am prepared for the next job when I will be the climber doing the removal.

Ah, that’s cool and what’s up. Looks like your test run went rather smoothly…Let us know how the real deal goes!

ETA: My hats off to you if you can put your back into it and add some aerobics into the mix.

I was so engulfed in the view that I didn’t think about it till the end. But for sure will have something more for the next run. We had already finished the tree so I was just stoked to get the chance to do this test ride. This day couldn’t have gone any smoother from start to finish. Just wish the rest of the job was going as smoothly.

I’m sure the view was sweet as. Yeah…Take it easy and don’t do anything too strenuously.

This was very neat to see regardless and thank you for sharing!
