Thumbs up Re: This is awesome!(cant think of any other title)

While I'm too old these days, that would be freaking awesome to do. Sadly he could never do the Dragon as the curves are too sharp and he crosses the white line.


Interesting find though.

It was certainly kind of the other motorists to stay in their lanes. Very kind.

When I see stuff like that I always feel the urge to say something very snide and snotty but then I remember back to when I had more ***** than brains. There was a day when I would have jumped in line to give that a try but that day is now long gone. I'd at least put on one of those flags so folks would have a chance of seeing me.

That's what I was thinking. I'll bet they wear out pretty quickly.

If you watch the movie"Yes Man" with Jim Carey and Zooey Deschanel, towards the end they do this. They look to be in the same area. This will never catch on in Kansas, We would never get moving. Besides our potholes would kill you.

LOL yall are correct, its the other motorist who hold the fate of these guys in their hands.

Still i think its cool that someone came up with this idea and perfected the equipment, as well as how to ride it. They got moving pretty fast for being inches off the ground. And i imagine its one heck of a workout for the arms, shoulders, and abs.

Lucky too that he didn't come across any debris in the road; like a stick or a few rocks!
