Tyre Ski Jump - who remembers this?!

I once let a fully inflated quarry dumper truck tyre go from the top of a small mountain. There were a few of us watching it. It hit a flat area halfway down and bounce over an entire woodland landing on the other side of the valley bottom.

 

Never seen anything like it in my life since. I would estimate the distance it bounced was near 400 metres, if it had hit a tree it would have wiped it out

As kids we used to chuck everything we could down this hill to see where it went; from golf balls to wheelbarrow wheels; amazingly never hit a car in a driveway but did get a few tellings-off for trashed plants and I think a pram wheel went in a pond! :lol: We called the game "you can go and get this"!!! taking it in turns :lol:
