oh god. No helmet, no shoes(on some of them), no grip(minimal), into traffic. That sounds like a great idea.

Not yet, but I hopefully will be trying one when I'm in AZ for Christmas. A buddy of mine has 2 (working on a 3rd right now), and if I get the free time we're going to go ride them.

Yeah, dude with tshirt, shorts and bare feet is out of his mind.

Hasn't everyone gone out for a bike ride or kicked the skateboard around barefoot and learned the hard way it was a poor choice?

EXTREEEEEMMMEE. Worked at a snowboard shop once during the thick of the EXTREME SPORTS CRAZE and not only did we have to say XTREME in some kind of monster truck demon voice but we always referred to the Arnette-wearing bleach-blond Mountain-Dew-commercial-consuming kid type as JOHNNY EXTREME. As in "JOHNNY EXTREME JUST LEFT AND HE WANTED YOUR ADVICE ON BOLTING HIS BINDINGS STRAIGHT ONTO THE BOARD. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, DO THE DEW!

In a way I miss Johnny Extreme though. He wasn't as annoying as Dudebro.

So apparently Local Motors makes an electric drift trike now. Went to their open house to check out the rally fighters but had no idea they make these too

I'll forgive Breckenridge. You know who's too generic to be excused though? Keystone. Manufactured-ass wannabe Vail.

I have never been to Vail. I've heard its pretty uppity. I went to Breck for my honeymoon 3 years ago. I have not seen so many grungy mountain dew drinking white boys since highschool. It is a nice place though. Folks are real nice up there.

Chamonix is a track in GT5 game, But i refer to some local curvy roads that we call by that name too.

Well I used to like GT5 in 2011 until i played forza 4. After that. I thought gran turismo was rubbish. I bought GT6 to give it a chance. And i was pissed when i started playing. It was crap compared to forza 4.

Yeah, the boys raid my truck for tools and have been assembling them themselves from junk parts. I only trying to respond to direct questions, so they try their own ideas to see if they work. I worry about the road thing, since it's just dudes with cellphones posted at various places and they run at night (better to see cars, but not so good for tracking your own progress.) But I trust them to keep it safe [enough.]
