How to Videos for Young’s Plant Farm

Posted by: Matt | Comments (0)
Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

We were contacted by Young’s Plant Farm to help them with some how to videos to post up on the Young’s Youtube Page. Young’s is a family owned company located in the plains of Auburn, Alabama. They are a big player in the commercial plant growing market and sell plants to large retail stores like Lowes and Home Depot. The main goal of the  videos is to help reach out to people that enjoy gardening and spread the knowledge gained from being around the plant business for more than 50 years. The videos were made into a series. This first series would be all about container gardening. The great folks at Young’s wrote out the script and chose a great location within their Greenhouse to film the videos. We filmed the how to videos and got some shots around their facility for the intro in a one day shoot. Took a week to edit everything together and delivered their videos on time and well within their given budget. We even uploaded the videos straight to Youtube for them. We have posted the videos below for your enjoyment. If you are interested in how to videos or a professional commercial for your company we have what you need. We can take care of any media needs your company might have and are able to cater to almost any budget. Contact Us for a FREE Quote today!

Barbie Jeep Racing in Auburn Alabama

Posted by: Matt | Comments (0)
Monday, May 2nd, 2011

The largest barbie jeep race in history went down this past weekend in Auburn, Alabama during the 1st annual ECORS race at the Great American Park. People came from all over with their plastic chariots. If you are not familiar with barbie jeep racing, it is a fast growing sport that is taking over the Southeast. Grown men and kids a like find old power wheels vehicles and modify them for downhill racing head to head. Racing these toys turned race vehicles is a huge rush. The best part is they can usually be had for very cheap or even FREE. People have already started to modify their race vehicles with longer wheelbases, pneumatic tires, better seats and much more. The competitors are top notch, some even come dressed in full costume. Here is the video from the Auburn Barbie Jeep race where we had over 20 Racers making it our biggest race to date. For more videos visit the Busted Knuckle Youtube Page.

The race course wasn’t as steep as we were used to so we decided to make it a little more interesting. We added “pushers” to the race. One pusher per racer, they would push you down the hill as fast as possible while dodging other racers and pushers . This made for some great action as most of the pushers were ran over  or tripped and tumbled down the course. Good Ole Redneck Fun! We started out racing 8 wide. The first half of the racers to cross the finish line progressed to the next round. After 8 races a 15 year old on a stock barbie jeep was crowned the new champion. The previous champion Matt Myrick was put out of the race in the 3rd round when he wrecked another racer near the finish line. He said “If I ain’t gunna win I might as well put on a show!” We look forward to the next barbie jeep race. Keep up to date with everything Barbie Jeep Racing by becoming a Fan of Barbie Jeep Racing on Facebook.

Getting Better Mileage out of your Tow Rig.

Posted by: Matt | Comments (0)

Improving Fuel Economy for 4×4 Vehicles

When it comes to that thirsty big-block 454 powering your  buggy, fuel mileage is of little concern. But on your tow vehicle, mileage means a lot. After all, a loaded 4×4 toting a buggy and trailer can really gulp the fuel. Of course, there’s a slew of parts like magnets and catalysts that “claim” fuel savings, which are dubious at best. Luckily, there are others like tonneau covers and air intakes that not only improve MPG; they’re useful in their own right, too.


Increasing Engine Efficiency

Two of the most exciting fuel savers are air intakes and performance chips. Both maximize engine efficiency, and when used together, real gains can be had. And, since you secretly want these performance parts anyway, purchasing ‘em under the guise of fuel savings makes it easier to sneak by a doubtful spouse.


Exhaust System Gains

The third prong in the fuel-saving trident is a performance exhaust system. By lifting back pressure, performance exhaust let’s your power plant breathe easy to improve MPG. And, when used with the above parts, you get serious horsepower and torque, too. Which of course makes it harder to stay off the throttle and save fuel! If you are blowing black smoke out of the exhaust on your diesel, you need to step up the exhaust and intake to cool down your EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temperatures). That black smoke is your engine wasting unburned fuel.


Essential Truck Accessories

Since you’re looking to outfit your tow rig, maybe look into some nerf bars and seat covers, too. These won’t help you in your fuel-saving quest, but they will make your truck more comfortable, useful and stylish. And hey, even if you’re saving fuel, if your truck doesn’t look good, what’s the point?

Posted by: Matt | Comments (0)
Friday, January 14th, 2011

The guys over at Crawl are at it again with their latest issue #26. If you flip to the proving grounds section on page #26 you will see their review on our latest DVD The ECORS Harlan King of the Hammers Qualifier. Here is what they had to say: “Busted Knuckle Films has recently put out coverage of the 2010 Harlan, KY King of the Hammers Qualifier race. This DVD captures the brutality of these trails and helps explain why so few rigs finished the race in the allotted time. With a format that lets you see the various trails as they are being run, you get a better picture of how difficult this terrain is. The DVD also covers other classes from this event and gives a good view of the Harlan area. I’m ready to pack up and head east! Check it out at www.bustedknucklefilms.com” If you haven’t seen the trailer for this DVD head on over to our Store and watch the Epicness unfold! Big Thanks to John and the Guys at Crawl for not only putting out a great magazine but also going out of their way to help out the rest of us in the off-road media industry. If you are into Jeeps, Buggies, Truggies, and all things Hardcore Offroad, head on over to CrawlMag.com and sign up for a subscription. Support the Magazines that support us here at Busted Knuckle and allow us to keep banging out these great videos.
