Justin is the the undisputed king of small trucks.
This may seem like faint praise, but it's no small feat. Small trucks are messy, generally contain lots of small boxes, and are easy to underestimate. In fact, we have < 1,500 (adjusted) trucks in the database that have taken hours to unload. It seems fitting, then, that the small-truck master would end a 138-day legendary-throw drought with a featherweight masterpiece.
Truck #194295 essentially erased all the records set by 184632: a remarkably similar truck. The fact that #194295, unlike 184632, was a solo throw with one less teammate on the line, makes this all the more impressive.
Depending on whether we use 184632's adjusted or raw time to completion, truck #194295 was completed 10-15 minutes faster than that legendary throw and 30+ minutes faster than other similarly-sized trucks in the dataset.
Truck #194295 also set a speed bonus record for the fastest featherweight truck ever (edging out 184632 by .01). In fact, #194295 is only one of ten trucks in the 250+ truck dataset that have a speed bonus > 1.
Lastly, #194295 set a new featherweight record BPM of 30: five boxes (+20%) faster than 184632 (the previous record holder). This BPM puts #194295 in ultra-rare company: it's only one of five trucks in the 250+ truck dataset that have a BPM > 30. Truck #194295 also shattered 184632's MPP. The thrower cleared a panel every 1min and 42secs, 8% faster than 184632 and 40%+ faster than many similarly sized trucks in the dataset.
#194295 redefined what's possible for small trucks.
A single thrower not only reinvigorated the concept of category-defining throws after one and half seasons without any. He set the standard for what we can (and should) expect from ourselves when battling sub-1,500 trucks. When we honor these trucks -- when we respect them as the monsters that they are -- we can defeat them with surgical precision and brutal timeliness.
Truck #194295 reminds us why we never underestimate or disrespect the small truck. With this mindset firmly in place, it's only a matter of time before we see a true half-hour featherweight. And the smart money says this thrower -- Justin "Rainmaker" Hernandez -- will be the one who delivers it.
