I dunno, I see that and I just smile real big! Guy knows what he's doing, that's for damn sure... I figure he's got to wedge his tracks between two blocks to hold the excavator while he grabs higher up. Flying the excavator out in space at the top is completely wild! Very well named website, that's for sure...gonna have to check that one out!

Once again, you excavation guys have the coolest pics/vids on the site!

I would give it a shot on the lower level, but that swinging like King Kong is pure crazy. If you look closely, the seat is empty, so I'm guessing it is remote control for liability reasons. I would be more worried about something breaking than operator error. You can only trust man made objects so far, and I think this is definately pushing it
