Tire Flipping - Petaluma, CA - 8/06

Some people roll tires. Others flip them.

Estimated Weight - ~400 pounds.

Jim says, "It's time to flip this tire - game on!"

First flip - at the critical 'hand shift point.'

Second flip - doing well and working hard.

Big Chris (photographer) says, "Keep those arms straight, Jim!" Jim, being fatigued, fails twice in a row on this 5th flip attempt.

Arms are straight, form is good - third time's the charm and with straight arms, Jim flips that tire for #5.

Last flip - give it everything you've got, Jimbo!

Jim says, "After nine flips, here's a perspective of how big this thing is." Max heart rate during flips = 178 bpm.
