Having experience with these sorts of things, I know, there was some effort put into establishing the draw and release angle. A little too much or not quite enough and she's a skidmark. But, ya gotta admit, that'd be a helluva ride.... | ||

If there was ever a recipe for death and dismemberment concocted this side of the Dark Ages this is it. All of my Parental Intuitions cringed. Can I go next? | ||

(I actually have a design in my file I did about a year or more ago that shares a lot in common with it, though it doesn't use an ATV and stays sub-sonic) | ||

Or, putting your neighbors little brother in a shopping cart, covered in bottle rockets and launching him down a mountain? Seeing what happens if you hold a fire cracker in your open palm? Windsurfing out of sight of land? Christ I'm lucky to be alive | ||

With no pictures, it's easier to forget that time we hoped a train that didn't stop until we got to Binghamton and had to hitch home, or the time we boiled lead stolen from the police range, or the time we skate boarded to a party and got so stoned that .... god, it goes on and on. | ||
