Josh's theory was that they could stand on the VCR, hold onto the cord, and "surf" it down into the skateboard ramp. Channel surfing, as it were.
Naturally they all wanted to have a go at it. Some surfed it down, some sat on it instead.
They also wanted to just smash it, but we explained that we had other plans for its demise.
After they all had a turn riding it, we were ready to try something else.
Conclusion: There is no more cooperative group of people than a gang of boys who have been offered the chance to help legally destroy something.
Don't try this at home, kids.
