Video of the Day: Alaska’s ‘rodeo with metal’

Junkers are flown off the cliff on Fourth of July

-

Warning: Don’t try this at home!

Since 2005, residents of Glacier View, Alaska, near the Matanuska Glacier, have celebrated the Fourth of July with the typical picnics, parade and even flying cars.

But airplanes aren’t the only things that fly on the Glacier View Fourth. 

So do junker cars.

“Any little kid’s dream is to roll a rock down a hill,” said Dustin Hrncir. “This is times 10.”

And good citizens that they are, the residents clean up the debris after the flying if finished.
