Thats funny. I had one of those when I was...maybe 5. I don't understand how they are going do fast, especially with their weight. Maybe the new ones are faster.

^ But the motor, which causes resistance, which wouldn't allow them to gain that much speed downhill. The newer ones must be faster and have less resitance.

If so, maybe I should get one of these until I get my licenses and a F/S truck. I could build a bike rack out of 2x4's or pvc pipe and shuttle up and down hills with my friends. I could let it roll down the hill and drive it back up with my bike if I were alone. This might be deal.

That is why my wife knows better than to buy one of those for our daughter. Because my son and I would be doing "jackass style" stunts with it in less than a year.

That was funny though.

ouch!!! i remember when I was 9 or 10 trying to run up the down escalator, tripping and turning my knee into a Ginsu knife ad... perfect 1/4 inch slices of flesh:help:
I crushed my right ankle on one when I was 12. Was sliding down the side of it and went straight into a wall 3 feet from the end. What a dumb a$$ move that was
