Those are great.

Speaking of Stihl's, if you have a higher-end Stihl or other backpack blower, you can point the blower towards the sky then float a basketball over it and keep it suspended.

That sight is quite funny to watch as I've seen it before. My son who last summer was barely 50# dripping wet strapped on the blower. It took him for a ride quite a few times. His very first time he pulled the trigger and it sent him flying, he landed on gravel. His hands were skidded up but I couldn't help him up since I was laughing so hard.
