That was pretty awesome. That jump over the fountain was pretty sweet.
Now, let's strap a GoPro to it and have another run!

Seems like that fountain jump is a bit of a variable.
If only all of us had combined our sets back in the day . . .

I still have a lot of the stuff from when I was a kid. But I'm 30 ... so it has very little value.
Oh, how I wish I still had that.

Yeah, I bought this cool book of Hot Wheels cars from the late 60's and 1970's. They had red rims and were called the Red Line era. Some of those cars are worth $$. The funniest thing is a few of the models had the designers phone # on the side panel (like the tow truck) and they said kids used to call him.
One of the best things about having young kids….an excuse to buy cool toys!
I do, however, still have the cars from the original Criss-Cross-Crash set.

I hope this ends up being a really cool lesson on editing. In my head, all I can think of is the kids/dad having enough track for the first setup (0:18-0:28), and just creating little tracks throughout various locations in the house/on the sidewalk, and cutting it all together and telling everyone its one long track.
Very cool, either way. I better be wrong.

I thought the same thing, but the part with the two unrelated corners made me suspect otherwise.

Double D'OUGH!

This is such a cool project for a father and his sons to do whether it was in fact one really long track or just some nifty editing. I liked the shot selection in a lot of places too. Some of it looked quite cinematic:
- The bit where the car kind of skidded onto the edge of the track after a jump before righting itself.
- The low-angle shot of the car climbing the stairs.
- The jump over the fountain.
- The lower angle shots closer to the car.
It was the kind of thing that could have been boring to watch in spite of its uniqueness, but the way the whole thing was put together held my attention throughout.
