Lol...Thats Epically Awesome...But I gotta Ask...How many times have you ran into Police Resistance.

None, the cops have actually blocked traffic for us on more than one occation. they usually ask a few questions, and once we mention the word charity they are cool with it.

It's about as illegal as running a wheelchair down the street. There are no motors, it's all gravity, so we get thrown in the bike category. We can however get tickets for things like speeding, illegal lane change, etc...

There is a group out in CA that went out on a test run and 10 of them got speeding tickets.

I'm gonna talk some shit here, What you guys have been doing is shit compared to this.

This is 50+ mph on your ass down a public road on wheels barely made to do 20. Waiver is 2 lines:



1. This is gonna really hurt or kill you.

40 mph on plastic wheels and a plastic frame made for 3 year olds down a public highway in the middle of the night. Oh did I mention there are pretty big cliffs on one side during most of the course and that wheels are known to melt off the big wheels as in the first video I posted. I am pretty sure it's close to the same thing. Rubber wheels make it easy to turn, try the same shit on plastic.

This is my vehicle.

We don't need no medical staff. Plus the yearly budget is so far about $30 spent on sticker.

If you can be hired for about 1/2 of our yearly budget I would cover you.
