250-pound rubber band ball

With my mom's help, I started building this rubber band ball when I was four years old. Thirty-one years later, when it reached a weight of 250 pounds, I made this video to show how I add bands to it. For more info about the ball (and LOTS of photos), check out this blog entry: zackhample.mlblogs.com/2014/03...

Not such a bad idea. It's your life, you can do that if you want to. It's not harming anyone, and it's good exercise for one thing. You ought to see if you can get the rubber band manufacturers to sponsor you so you get free rubber bands!

[@zackhample]

Alice Susan Harding Thanks. That's nice of you to say, but I'm not going to pursue a sponsorship because if the ball gets much bigger, I won't be able to fit it out my front door.

How often do you add a rubber band to the ball?

[@Jesuit-mv6rd]

I love the kind of, don't take this the wrong way, the weirdness of you, the walls of all the faces is so unique and I love it as a student at a Jesuit high school, I admire your way of life as we are taught to be our own. And I commend you for that. God bless, keep collecting those baseballs man. #getthismanatvshow

[@zackhample]

+Jesuit1877 Thank you! I take it the right way. I've never thought of "weird" as an insult -- quite the opposite, in fact. Thanks for watching my videos.

[@VortexKiller2]

I bet you owe a lot of baseballs to people.

[@karlbright]

That looks like a sweet apartment

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

[@MexicanBandito5]

Are we gonna see an update video of the ball soon?

[@zackhample]

+MexicanBandito5 It weighs about 30 pounds more now, but it doesn't look much bigger. Maybe I'll roll it outside and film it again . . . when it reaches 300 pounds.

[@LoganWarner]

+Zack Hample be honest. You did this because you were bored

[@VortexKiller2]

lets be honest that would be epic if you rolled that bad boy off a roof, lol unfortunatly that thing would explode on impact instead of bounce haha, look forward to seeing more ball hawking videos with baseball season right around the corner

[@coolaisiankid]

What are those pictures of

[@zackhample]

+Max Forsey People and faces . . . from magazines.

[@reecygarfield2694]

cool

[@gavsplatt2385]

wouldnt the bands deteriorate????

[@zackhample]

+Gav “Gavinator” splatt They start to deteriorate over time unless I continue to add fresh bands on top. Then that kinds of seals it and preserves the interior.

[@iloveyouwoodysgamera]

cool COOL

[@jimenaortega2336]

Did u really start it sience u were 4?

[@caitlin4784]

Jimena Ortega you spelt since wrong
