… or, “seven minutes in Texas”.
By way of my Facebook friendship with With Leather legend Josh Zerkle comes the story of a Texas family’s attempts to jump a small ramp on bikes that I can say without hyperbole is worth every second of its 6-minute, 58-seconds run-time.
Listing off the funniest parts of the video is like trying to explain the plot of Duck Soup. Hot Rod Lincoln and the Keystone Cowboy. Keystone Cowboy wearing a “reggalah oh oven mitt” because he couldn’t find his other glove. The fact that it’s “Daredevils take two“. “Aw lawd Hot Rod Lincoln”. Hot Rod lying on the ground hurt for like a minute and a half while his Mom taunts him, only to making lurid jacking-off motions to her. The dog who threatens to take a sh*t in the middle of the proceedings. Keystone Cowboy’s aborted backflip. Hot Rod only being able to communicate via WWE hand gestures. “Mawma LOOK Mawma LOOK Mawma LOOK”. “Speedy” being quiet the entire video and riding his bike over the ramp like it was nothing. At some point I expected Chico to wander onscreen in a Texas Longhorns shirt to make it even more absurd.
I probably live down the street from these guys.

How can we make the Keystone Kowboy a “Silver Bullet Recipient”?
I keep expecting one of these guys to yell “VOTE FOR PERRY!”
I hope Hot Rod didn’t swallow his chewing tobacco when he did that back flip.
Seriously, that was great and oddly sweet the way that family has fun.
Somebody at Keystone needs to fire Keith Stone and hire this family immediately. You don’t get a better ad slogan than “that’s where miracles happen, baby!”
Hey Burnsy, help me get a Web Redemption-type thing going for With Leather, I want to visit these people and ride bikes.
WHISKEY! WHISKEY!
I would like to say that these people are not generally indicative of the population of my state of Texas, it is however a close approximation. Also, I think Speedy might be a frittata.
Completely agree with UU; that was, well, touching in a way. But it’s also really really really fun to watch stereotypes be stereotypical.
Good for them for getting outside with their kids. That said, I love that Ma Keystone got winded walking into the yard and then had to use the fancy zoom on their 1988 Handycam instead of getting closer to the elbow inury.
This… this video changed my life. Whether for the better or for the worst, I’m not totally sure yet.
Hook ‘em horns!
Hahahaha, now that’s reality television I would watch.
Those people have no business owning Weimaraners. Those dogs are smarter than any of the people in that video and shouldn’t be forced to live among such idiots.
