How did he manage this? And do any young bmx types have a clue they bike in his 80 year old shadow?

Director of the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" and many other films at the Hal Roach studios and both directed and produced Three Stooges films, performed in vaudeville as a kid.

Do you see the stantion tops that are making his trick even harder? That is just nuts. How he rides on the top of a pipe? Insane.

New Snow Cruiser photos and information found

It was built by the Pullman train car company, in Illinois
and in the below full size news article (click on it for full size) it says that it was abandoned in the antarctic due to it's being so heavy (37 tons and 55 feet long) that it immediately was stuck in and ice crevass. It's longest drive was from the factory near Chicago to the shipping docks in Boston... at 55 miles and hour

for more snow cruiser info and the video of it being unloaded and no surprise, it was too heavy fot the unloading ramp http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/antarctic-sno-cruiser-was-driven-to.html seems no one was really thinking in terms of how a 37 ton vehicle was to get around in a world not paved in concrete

1957 B-12 , powered by a Chrysler Industrial straight six and three speeds with lever steering column. Denis customized the invention of the legendary Joseph-Armand Bombardier, replacing the wheels of the slides in the center by maple to give the vehicle more stability in loose snow. http://blogues.cyberpresse.ca/monvolant/descarries/2009/01/27/traverse-bombardier-et-mise-au-point/

I had heard about a vintage snowmobile rally in Eganville and it piqued my curiosity. With a growing interest in documenting regional cultural festivals in Canada, and as an outsider to snowmobile culture, I made my way northeast towards the Ottawa Valley. I’ve been documenting some of the lesser known Canadian cultural festivals, celebrations, and rituals of the present, attempting to construct an understanding of my own relationship to the multifarious notion of Canadian identity.

I have been documenting regional cultural events that are seldom seen outside their locales. These events are traditions that are important in building and maintaining regional communities in different places across Canada. As a country, Canada spans 9,984,670 square kilometres, making it the largest country in the western hemisphere. Its culture is as diverse as its geography, and so it is not so strange for me to feel like a foreigner inside the country I call home. This is one of the reasons why I wish to bring these activities into focus and share them with a larger public in hopes of including these hidden treasures in a larger picture of how we as Canadians view Canada.

Between 1945 and 1951, L’Auto-Neige Bombardier sold 2,596 vehicles. The Department of Public Works owned the majority of the B-12's up north and they were painted yellow
