how many times do you have to eat it before you get the hang of it? i suppose that's why they're doing it on a beach

Why isn't it electric powered? Don't they know fossil fuels were SO last century?!

probably a safety concern.. imagine some kind of interference that prevented the signal (from the remote) from even reaching the cycle, thus not allowing you to brake when needed one time and sends you crashing. ;)

I think I really want one. those are wicked :D

Soon to be zooming dangerously up and down a street near you.

And soon to be outlawed on all roadways and sidewalks.

Haha that thing looks pretty fun. Doesn't look very fast though... I'd like to see someone do a 360 on it.

Need more video of the chick in the bikini top riding it, also.

EDIT: Top speed is 25-30 mph actually... not too bad.

Plus the remote may not even be electrical but a mechanical device tied directly to the throttle and braking systems.

Sure, with editing and a soundtrack it seems fun. But the noise must be awful and the wipeouts brutal.
