Awesome 4th Of July

Since Alaska has so little darkness on July 4th, they’ve got an alternative for fireworks. For over 20 years, Glacier View, Alaska, has hosted an event where they toss junk cars off a 300-foot cliff while onlookers enjoy the chaos and destruction. 1320video attended this year’s festivities to give us an insider’s look at the event, including POV and aerial footage.

Lots of people celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks, but maker Peter Sripol won’t settle for those cheap little fireworks you can buy at the store. After making a gigantic spinning firework last year, he built a super-size version of one of those unpredictable rocket-style fireworks.

To celebrate the 4th of July, the guys from The Hoonigans took their bargain-priced American flag-wrapped junk car and turned it into a dangerous looking fireworks show on wheels. We’re a bit perplexed that they chose to use a German car to celebrate America’s birthday.

The way LRG sees it, no 4th of July is complete without some explosive mayhem. Let the colorfully gruesome Fingerblasters logo available on a Zippo and tee serve as warning for the consequences of foolhardy freedom.
