Ok if you have gotten this far, the image on the video player below kind of telegraphs my punch but look, Punjabi tractor pulling is probably the highest stakes motorsport on Earth. How is that possible you ask? Consider the fact that every Punjabi tractor pulling video out there features scenarios where the people involved are always inches from death. Seriously, on a good day you leave with some mental anguish and a mild case of post traumatic stress. On a bad day you leave as a pancaked, 2-d sheet of person paper because a damned tractor landed on you like the house landed on the witch in the Wizard of Oz.
If you have ever wondered what would happen if you landed a tractor as hard as the Earth’s gravity could make it land from a near vertical wheelie, this video is your answer. We’re wondering if BangShift should start an American wing of the Punjabi tractor pulling program. The insurance rates may be high but we bet we could sell some tickets to this show, right?
We’ll have a fleet of ambulances and a bicycle pump standing by to re-inflate squashed participants. We’ll also bump up the safety program here by adding some of that high tensile strength yellow tape to keep the throngs at bay. Now…we’re off to find two tractors, two leather football helmets, and two guys who think they can handle this!

As long as full safety precautions are employed, this activity is fool proof!
