its like fallin off a cliff through trees, bushes and landing on a huge pile of mattress's at the bottom....scary at first but the end result is .... man i dont even know where this is goin :lol: :bounce: ...

its a little tight at times but there is enough room for a party in there once everythings been removed. easy as pie to work on really.
