Hey guys, busy week (as always) here at Galaxy HQ

 

Take a look at our lastest custom ride, Lord Humphrey for BBC America the Mechanical Rodeo Bulldog. Soon to be operated by the forums very own Willem Visser from Amanzi Party Rentals.

 

We are incredibly proud of Lord Humphrey (name given by the BBC), especially all the hard work our design team and staff have put in to make this a reality.

 

That is a soft foam safety head although it looks like fiberglass.

 

Once again, our quality shines through proving why we are the number one mechanical bull multi ride manufacturer in the world (bar none!)

 

Have a great weekend

 

Mike

Every dog has it's day, although you sure it's name isn't Churchill?

I would've called it Churchill but its the BBC that decided on the name.

All props to Galaxy to make this project a huge success.  I got a call on January 22  from the BBC America for an event here in Austin.  They wanted to drape a mock up of a English Bulldog over a mechanical bull (REALLY??).  I immediately told them we can build them a mechanical bull dog.  I contacted my friends at Galaxy and within a week we had the project signed off with BBC America.  Under a very tight schedule Galaxy came threw and we are ready for our 2 day  and 22 hour event next weekend.

 

Thanks again to Robin and your team.!!!!

That does look awesome.  Incredible work for such a quick turnaround time.  Hopefully you have a chance to shoot some videos of that in action.  

Are there any colleges or high schools around you with the bulldog mascot?  The Marine Corps mascot is also a bull dog, not sure if there are any USMC bases near you.  

Good luck with the new ride!

Good things happen to good people that's why Brian... Amanzi is indisputable "good peeps"... It's never to late to turn over a new leaf Brian so good things can happen to you too.

From your mouth to God's ear Jean. It wasn't my idea, but I ordered mine today. Super excited to start marketing it. It'll be huge with UGA fans here!

That's great, Mike! Since I apparently have God's ear, I need a million dollars, I need a million dollars... :) 

 

See, Larry, you should have told me you wanted it. I could have put your request in to the Big Guy too! :)

No special treatment for Willem. No different yo your treatment.

 

It was a sound business decision to push this through, the guys put in overtime to make sure regular production wasn't affected.

Now we have a superb new ride, partly in thanks to the BBC (and Amanzi of course).

 

You should see the place down here Brian, its quite different from when you came to visit. We're filming for the Discovery Channel next week so everyone can see how and where our product is made. Which will also put an end to any bullsh*t rumours.
