Then you take some raisins and you put it, then you put it on top. By the way, this Zoom goodie's called Ants on the Log. And I get it the raisins out of ants. I never ate an ant before. Tastes go okay. Why don't you try it? Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he. He stuck his head in a bucket one day

to see what he could see. Old King Cole wasn't very bright. A Zoom viewer named John Copeland wrote us and said, Dear Zoom, I have a hobby that's really fun, riding motorcycles. Did you know that the first real motorcycle was made in Germany in 1886? By the way, could I be a guest on Zoom? Well, unfortunately, John, we already picked a Zoom guest, and his name is Larry Hughes, and he lives in Brownsville, Texas, and he also loves motorcycles. THE END My name is Larry Hughes, and I ride motorcycles.

I've been racing motorcycles for only a little over one year. This is a motocross track, and it's all natural terrain, and you can do all kinds of things on it. All those other things are fun to do, but what I mostly work for is for speed. One thing you don't take chances in racing is getting hurt. It can be dangerous if you're not a skillful rider or something. You have to have protective gear. I've bought racing boots. They're steel-toed and they protect your heel and your ankle. You should have a chest protector, like on a rocky track. If you're behind, you'll get a bunch of rocks thrown at you. And, of course, you always need a helmet. This is an expensive sport, so you always want to take care of yourself real good

because it costs a lot of money to repair just about everything. An engine costs a lot of money. Even though if you're a fast racer and you think you're all that fast, You won't go fast if your bike is not in good condition. When I'm on the starting line, I'm not worried about my bike not being in good shape because I know it's in good shape because I checked it the night before. We need to check all the bolts on. I race just about every week, and I race just about all over Texas. most of my friends think that this is crazy because as soon as they hear about motorcycles they think of evil and i tell them that i'm not crazy all i ever do is just race and have fun and win trophies how's it look there that looks pretty tough pretty slippery coming into the bottom are there any questions at this time about the course that we're running today most of you have been practicing and i just want to know if you

Before every race begins, they have what we call a rider's meeting. And this is to tell the riders all the rules. Okay, the full course for everybody. Any time within 15 seconds, John Stanley will drop the gate. When I'm most nervous is when I am at the starting line. If you get off the line good, then that means that if you're a fast rider, that you'll be able to leave everybody. I'll be interested in knowing that Larry Hughes is riding a 98cc Honda, which is an SR7, a stroke, and is running in the number three slot. That's our little champion out of Brownsville, Texas, running in the number three slot for the RSVC class. When you're out on the track, just think of yourself.

Just try to keep it wide open all the way. And when I fall, it's just one of those things I can't stay up on two wheels all the time. I think I will always be involved in motorcycle racing. I just love it. It's just beautiful. I am the 110cc modified 12 to 16-year-old novice champion.

My title is not really, well, it's thrilling to me, but I don't want my mother to go brag about me. I just hate that. If I lost my title tomorrow, I would just go out and race and pretend like it was nothing. Zoom! Re-Zoom after this important message. here is the every Wow. I like that tummy. Oh, yeah. We're gonna roll out the barrel and find out what's inside too late.

Here's a barrel sent in by Sidney Hawthorne of Covington, Virginia. Each person should get a partner and get on your knees and put your heads together and put your hands behind your back. Now, keeping your head against your partner's head, try to turn around five times on your knees. So put your heads together and try it. Now, this is not... Five, four, one. Ha, ha, try to keep your back. No, Calvin, your hand's supposed to be behind your back. She's not touching the floor. So, okay, then I can do it, too. Okay, let's go. Keep touching. One, real slow. One, two, four, two, five. Three. Look at that, three. We did it! Five times! Big thrills. Here's a way you can help us out.

We'd like to know what you'd like to see on Zoom in the future. What are your favorite and least favorite parts of the show? Can you think of any new ideas we can put on Zoom? Just write your opinions and send it to, Zoom survey, box 350, Boston Mass. All, two, one, three, four. Do us a favor, please, let us know how old you are. Here's a game sent in by Yasuko Ito of Bronx, New York. Put 20 jelly beans in two bowls with a spoon held in your mouth. Try to scoop up all the jelly beans as fast as you can. See who can get all the jelly beans out of the bowl the fastest. Good luck. May the best man or woman win. On your mark, get set, go. Now you can eat the jelly beans.

I was taking toys to Jack Frost's studio that I make in my cellar, and I sell them to him and then he sells them to customers who buy them. When I first started selling things, I used to carve out whales on pieces of wood just to make a little profit to spend anywhere I wanted to. And then I decided to go into wood, and I started making chests, and I made this chest over here, right here, a similar one to it, and I sold it. that this one i'm making for my sister for christmas and because she's been asking one for a long time i sold these and then i started to sell my cars

this is a pattern i say this is a limousine with the people sitting here and then the driver drives from out here and then this is one of my vws this one i use for pattern now because The wood had different colors in it and different texture, and I couldn't sand it out, and so I didn't think it was best to sell it, so I decided to keep it as a pattern. This snowmobile I got by clear accident. It came out of the inside of one of these bolts. See, this round thing fitted right in here. I decided to call it a snowmobile because I thought it had a front end and just looked like one to me. And so I'll just, I'll just put, if I can fit it, I'll put this one right here. I'll use my jigsaw, and I trace them out, cut them on that. If I make a VW, then it doesn't take me long at all, roughly maybe five, six, seven minutes.

It depends on the size of the toy. Some cars, it takes a lot more time, though, more detailed ones. Like, I have a boat, and that's a lot detailed. That may take 10, 12, 13 minutes. I don't know. and a train would take a good 15 minutes 15 20 minutes because that has three cars put together and they're detailed and then that is what comes out after i finish drilling around it and then i have to sand this one i haven't sanded it yet I get time, but I don't like to spend it all on cars all the time. I like to work my train set and my corn collection and hunting and many of different things like that. I'm going to dip that in.

I stain them with linseed oil. I don't like staining. If I can get some friends, I have friends come over and stain for me. I pay them a little bit, not much. They don't care. They do it for the fun of it. I usually don't stain these portholes. It started yesterday because a friend of mine wanted when he was going to be here all day long, and I didn't want him to see all the bad things about him. My mother and I price him for what we think is the right price. Just a little glue on the end of this. Take a wheel. get hammered down my wheels cost three cents a piece so that's 12 cents just put a little bit more glue on here my linseed oil costs roughly two or three cents a car brush it off

and then um the wood ranges from uh five to ten cents i'm gonna take a fairly long piece of rope not too long and then my axles they're about one or two cents a piece tie a bowl in here we don't much go on labor until my father came into it and then he says well what about this labor i figured it out just by someone buying a toy you know not paying for the labor or anything just what's reasonable i get a dollar fifty to two two dollars for this and then the stores sell it for uh 250 i think one of the toys todd mcclellan makes is this sled if you would like to know how to make it, we have a Zoom card that tells you how to do it. Just...

And when you send for your sled Zoom card, be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope. That's a saisy. Sled Zoom card saisy, sled Zoom card saisy. Hey, that sounds like a tongue twister.
