I'm sure a lot of you may have had or at least ridden these as kids or sometime throughout your life, heck maybe you even own some now! My family has 3 of these and my late grandfather bought these when my dad and uncles were in their teens. 2 of them are still functioning and they are a BLAST! I'm taking them out at the end of the month for my birthday riding trip and we are gonna tear up the dry lakebeds on these! I hope you enjoy the pics!

Those things are awesome! I'm going to guess that unless you live on the east coast you don't own and have not ridden in one lol really cool though, they look like a blast!

I live on the west coast bu the only times we can ride them is in the high desert on the lakebeds. They are so awesome though and the yellow one hauls tush!

Yea dude they are so awesome! We're gonna modify the two seater to hold a full ice chest so when the wind dies in the middle of nowhere we can crack some brewskis! :beer

I'll put up some more pics after I get home from the trip, some action shots alongside the Tecate :)

They look like a blast,we get some strong winds around here but I don't think they would sail through the woods very well.

I imagine you can only go as fast as the wind blows.

2-4 times the wind speed depending on gusts, constant wind and which direction you're going
