The Stunt



This is my Construction Cone stunt from 2007 changed slightly to make for one of our newest videos. The Stunt was originally just a picture idea that I had for a new default pic on MySpace. I was shopping at the Lincoln Park Meijer and noticed some white reflective looking duct tape and came up with the idea to put it on my orange soccer shirt from high school. I then stole a picture from Google to post in the background and then it became my most popular picture.

As I was driving to work I began to notice all the construction cones off the freeway right next to a traffic light. I realized it would be a lot of fun and a very strange sight if I did the outfit live in public. The original stunt took place in the Spring time with some chilly weather. Around April Fool's Day I would stand still for about an hour next to the other cones. This is the third year I've done the stunt. I also did it a little earlier this year during the Downriver Cruise.

I had to make up a reasoning for the video, but the truth is it is just a bizarre and fun idea that came to mind one day.
