This is one way to move a truck if it runs out of gas! Australian Derek Boyer pulled a Kenworth K104 truck weighing 51840 kg (114287 lb) over a level 100 ft course in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in March 2005. Boyer is the half time entertainment in the clash between Melbourne Storm and the Parramatta Eels where he will be lifting logs over his head and taking on three people from the audience in a sack carrying competition.
In the Moscow event Boyer was put though a number of events to test his all round strength; "We had to pull a semi trailer, lift these massive stones onto platforms, do some rep's (repetitions) with a car - we were lifting the back end of the car up for reps and there was this other apparatus that was constructed call Conan's Wheel where we had to pick a post up in the crooks of our arms and walk around in a circle with this massive weight wedged in between."
Boyer has had plenty of practice towing vehicles; in fact he currently holds the Guinness World Record for pulling the heaviest; "I have got a certificate to prove that I am the current Guinness World Record holder in pulling the largest vehicle ever pulled by a human being."
"I've actually did that a couple of times now; the first time I did it in Albury but it was beaten shortly after by a priest in Canada, then I came back to beat that two years ago on the (Gold) Coast where I pulled a 52 tonne semi trailer 30 metres in 48 seconds; that is now the current standing record."
