Jimmy, how was ShoeFest 2025?

0:04.0

ShoeFest, 2025, were also known as the Go-Cart, Deresta's Go-Cart track.

0:09.5

It's got so many hashtags I see.

0:11.5

I see Derrista Cart, the Restic Go-Cart, the Restic Speedway, all these different hashtags.

0:17.9

I never really officially made one.

0:19.9

But a couple years ago, I was like, I need to be some branding here. So the day before, I came up with Jimmy's Speedway. And I usually make a keychain fob. This year, I just ran out of time. So I made a couple of stencils. So Jimmy's Speedway is what we kind of jokingly call it. And so I laser cut out a stencils. I'll guys walk away with t-shirts. They spray paint. It went great. It went great. And Carolina Shoe sponsored me and Paul and Derek for our videos. I want to keep that clear because they didn't sponsor the event. They sponsored our videos. And in those videos, we made shoes. And those shoes were at the event. I made a big Phantom Rider boot.

0:56.1

Derek made a double H boot.

0:57.5

Derek's is 3D printed, so it looks like an advertisement, like exactly.

1:01.1

Like they're probably going to take it and bring it somewhere to Texas, maybe.

1:04.2

And my boot looks like it was made by someone who just learned how to use paper mache.

1:09.5

Oh, come on.

1:11.9

No, at one point I realized it was going to be an exact,

1:14.5

exact perfect replication, and it just kind of turned into it.

1:19.5

It has an engine in it. Of course, it's not a replication.

1:22.6

Yeah. But I also didn't 3D print it, like, wait, Derek did. So Derek says,

Paul just did such a great job. And it almost looks like it could be a boat. I you should do a series of videos of it now it's a

1:45.6

go-kart now it's a boat now it's what else can be a plane could be a little plane put wings on it

1:51.2

and it was great we had a great day we had about a hundred i have people now signing release forms

1:56.5

by order of my lawyer he says absolutely no one's allowed on the track without a release form.

2:00.9

And they sign a release and then they get a wristband. So everybody had wristbands on. And so it was good. Rachel was helping and a few other people looking around, making sure everybody had on a wristband, which means they signed. And everybody was happy to sign. I was always afraid to do that because it just, it was kind of throws a monkey wrench to things, but everybody was happy to sign it, and it's also

2:18.3

a good reminder that be careful. So, and at the end of that, I'm sure everybody who wants to be
