School Bus Demolition Derby

School bus demolition derby at the Washington County Fair in August 2013.

[@martysk8r]

Well, outside of busted radiators, etc., this shows that buses are build tough and can take some hits. If you really want to see some junk fall apart, watch the RV demolition derby.

[@gnarlybark]

martysk8r Might go back in August to video the automobile demo derby they host at the same place.

[@stewievaughan9841]

martysk8r I just did watch a RV derby and was very surprised how much they break apart.

[@nd20443]

some of those buses are nice! school districts could use those! they even have some thomas c2s!

[@gnarlybark]

dunno why

[@CalebEatsaBullet]

so the idea is to tap each other until the last bus that hasn't developed mechanical problems wins. I didn't know you weren't allowed to take out someone's radiator.. I'm used to seeing aggressive driving at these things. I do like the concept though of using busses though. Check out the videos of the busses in the figure 8 race..now that was exciting.

[@gnarlybark]

probably would be

The water truck looks like Frankenstein LOL

[@gnarlybark]

LOL

[@Mellobean]

Lol my school's bus was in there too, So I watched it there with my friends in the bleachers. If you guys were thinking it was boring, It got better at night. Washington High was on fire, Burgettes Town's roof got ripped off, and the Fort Cherry bus got knocked off the boundary. It ended up being a tie with Avella and St Peters buses both breaking at the same time. So they split the prize money.

[@gnarlybark]

Mellobean Great to have some insight into the final outcomes, thanks!

[@MCStevie1000]

Are the people driving those buses wearing masks?

[@gnarlybark]

Some drivers are wearing full-face crash helmets so they do look like masks.

[@MCStevie1000]

ah, I thought it looked like someone was wearing a wolf mask at one point lol

[@gnarlybark]

Students put custom paint jobs on those buses, maybe on the drivers too! Event got rained out this year.

[@zomb1slayer]

what was that truck for at beginning of the vid?

[@gnarlybark]

Looks like an old army truck that they now use as a water truck for this and the automobile demo derby.

[@floodedcar123]

I like the sound of a diesel bus.

[@gnarlybark]

unique

[@Deorse]

Well that is a sad end to some old school buses that I would have rode on as a kid. :( On the plus side it really does show how safe those buses actually are in a collision, especially those Thomas Internatonals. The Blue Birds don't appear to be as strongly built but seem to hold up pretty decently.

[@heirofaniu]

+Deorse They seem decent until you realize that those kids aren't wearing any seatbelts, and those busses are really top heavy and roll happy.

[@dougsilva8603]

@@heirofaniu shit pal my school bus did not have seat belts iam still he dumped shit

[@bucketblast62]

Look on the bright side Deorse, you can experience buses with radios and your favorite songs might play for you.😌☺️😉

[@gnarlybark]

think kids should wear seat belts on buses?

[@milfordcivic6755]

Too much mud, pit is far too small for a bus derby. Give me an asphalt figure 8 demo derby anyday

[@gnarlybark]

there's an idea now

[@TheHobbyKid21]

I wish they would let the drivers put a little bit of weight in the busses for more traction

[@gnarlybark]

..or not wet down the track to make it so slippery?

[@curtisscholes8547]

The track is way to muddy making for a boring derby

[@gnarlybark]

they overwet it sometimes

[@andrerenault]

I like the concept, but the buses could've used more room to get some real demolition going.

[@gnarlybark]

+kompilesoft Between the limited space and the amount of water they put on the track it appears they are intentionally limiting bus speeds.

[@josephrasberry9635]

yeah but right I think lol🚌 🚍 🚗🚘 🚖 🚕 🚙 🚔🚓 🚌🚍🚊🚈🚋🚃 lol that's what this looks like xd

[@mikelathen8397]

Cool and it is very fun to watch so nows.

[@gnarlybark]

When they combine these events with high school bands, it really draws a large crowd!

[@kylec5228]
