WARNING, TO WEAR THIS COSTUME YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE VERY FLEXABLE. Perhaps 1 out of 30 or 40 people can bend this way. I find it comfortable my Daughter not so much but she could fit.

That's a very cool costume! I just wish there were some in progress shots.

I am setting up a better tutorial with pics, have to take pics though and video, all I have is my phone so I cant hold the phone and video, already cut off one finger making Ghost rider lol. Takes a bit to figure site layout and it doesn't always accept pics and doesn't size them to fit so it took hours to get this up. typo's I will change as soon as contests r over but it took two days for them to accept entry don't want to change something and miss contest altogether. Thank you for the Ghost rider video advise I hope you enjoyed it. I have people coming to my house asking to see it..

pretty self explanatory directions should pretty much cover the building of it. being viewed a ton but contest entries still under review. that's like 264 possible votes down the tubes. Could have done more pics but took over an hour to get a pic to fit in the allocated pic. window always too big.

it's your rear end . and one person but you will need help getting in and out of costume also you have to be uncannily flexible. I should put down a Warning before ppl make this I have only met 3 ppl that can bend enough to wear it and I have let hundreds try at th contests.
