Motorcycle for your feet

I thought this was kinda cool. I don't like how most of the video is in negative, or whatever you call that style though.

very interesting. it's like they just took those little scooters everyone was riding one step further. I wonder how much they are asking... I noticed they didn't show any faceplants or other wipeouts... they also kept them on pretty tame surfaces. a hardcore offroad version would be neat... this video looks interesting, too... http://youtube.com/watch?v=ufiMy87zK...elated&search= but aren't his feet supposed to be on the pegs?

There was an item on the local news last evening. Someone had imported a consignment of these into the UK. They were confiscated by the authorities at the dock - as too dangerous.....which probably means they would be great fun

That looks like a blast.........How to sell it to the wife is the hard part though.

They did go thru dirt/grass (some small jumps) and were going on hardpack sand, so it might not be too bad on some limited off-road. Yeah, I don't think that their marketing dept would be so hot showing them all crashing.

I wonder how long it takes to get the hang of that thing. I think it would be a blast to try.
