Old Ripley's Believe it or Not ALMA GATES footage


Recommended Posts

so what is exactly the deal on her? did her and her son build that truck? or did they have outside help?

Lol wow I'm young as hell compared to a lot of these old dudes on here and know about Alma.

She had a $200k vacuum seal on that bronco and was doin those numbers with the top on or off lulz.

She's a legend in spl, built the truck cause her grandson iirc went to a show and some of the dudes he was asking for advice etc was dicks to him.

Someone correct my story if I'm wrong.

All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

Thats the what I have heard as well. There was a right up in playboy that had her and Steve plus some others in it. IIRC that was pretty much the same story that they had. She was like a retired school teacher or some thing like that. She took her grandson to the show and he was all jacked to meet this guy and he was just a dick to them. I think they came back the next year and smashed the guy that was a dick to them. I cant remember his name though. I have the Playboy. If anyone wants to know I guess I could go grab it and check it out.

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who knew or heard of Team Gates. The bronco was insane. I had the chance to see her at a competition (Sound FX) in Tucson, Az. Alma demoed her bronco with a mean hairtrick on my wife with the driver's door opened about 4 inches. At the time her shop was in Chandler, Az and she got into sterio competition because her grandson got picked on at a show. She told me that would be the last time that would happen. This was back around 99 or 2000.
