All I can think about was riding skateboards when I was a kid and getting absolutely wrecked everytime I ran over a chip of crushed rock hiding in the pavement. That guy is going to eat asphalt very soon.
I actually like to see someone do something innovative like that. It's cool to know that people still exist who take risks and create instead of acting like government tax slaves. That guy is taking a risk to be sure but he's accepting the risk. What real Americans do.
Not only that... on one of the busiest sections of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. I grew up near that neighborhood. LOADS of trucks. He's lucky if he survived that.
Maybe he is using high temperature grease in the bearings. I wonder how long the charge is going to last if it is battery powered? Tires might be solid. He be a fool anyway he no matter how he fixed up his ride. Heltau
His day is coming.
ReplyDeleteNaww, he's just breathing hard
DeleteAll fine and dandy until those tiny little bearings seize, turning themselves, and him, into piles of dust. Either way, the ending is epic.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the tires? I'm pretty sure he's blowing through the speed rating.
DeleteAlso he has no signal lights, headlights or other stuff needed to be on a highway. It's people like this that keep EMTs busy.
DeleteAgree with the comment above. The bearings on that are likely to seize before the tires fail.
DeleteIf he didn't engineer that to withstand the stresses he's putting that through, he and the scooter are doomed. Ohio Guy
ReplyDeleteNever wished for a wipe out more than that !!
ReplyDeleteDarwin is smiling!
ReplyDeleteThe little bastard would be the first to sue if he was nailed by a legit vehicle.
ReplyDeleteUntil he causes a 20 car pile up where a few innocent people wind up dying and he survives with only a few scratches

ReplyDeleteUrethane wheels of today aren't like the clay ones that stopped on a rock; they roll right over.
DeleteBut still, friction & gravity win eventually.
Homeboy is on his way to becoming a shitstain on the highway.

ReplyDeleteYes, but he'd be better off wearing full motorcycle gear.
DeleteHell, I want to know what kind of motor is in that thing.
ReplyDeleteHaving a motor like that it's likely the bearings and tires are upgraded to handle it.
NYC. Figures.

DeleteI watch videos of idiots like this all the time. When they crash/burn/fuck-up, there's zero fucks given. It actually makes me smile. Am I evil?
ReplyDeleteNo you are not evil. Lot of people just like you.
ReplyDeleteAnd how, exactly, does he STOP/Slow down that thing when he needs to do that?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he is using high temperature grease in the bearings. I wonder how long the charge is going to last if it is battery powered?
ReplyDeleteTires might be solid.
He be a fool anyway he no matter how he fixed up his ride.
