that would be kinda fun though.... and it would keep ya shredding until you hit up andes... which is not to bad if your in the park or racing fyi bertrenolds5. Its biggest run is actually somewhat close to buck hill's biggest, and a little steeper for racing on.

I'd rather have a Go-Ped. If you're looking for cheap transportation just buy a brand new China moped/scooter for under $1000. That way at least you'd be able to take decent trips and it would be legal for use on the streets.

Those things are a little dorky for me. haha I would just use this to cruise around to the store or my friends' places or possibly class. Hell I drove my pocket rockets to class a few times and it just gave me something to do whenever we were bored. You are probably right though, a scooter would probably be more efficient. I'd either get this thing or a go ped and a go ped would run me about $150 vs $200 for this.

A friend of mine had one like that... Didnt put the bars that hold your feet in and we ripped off the POS motor that it came with and put a Briggs and Straton 5 horse on it. Thing is a death trap. I'd rather have one that you can steer with your hands not just by leaning.

If you've ever tried snowboarding, you would realize that at some point in this venture you will fall. Now try it on pavement going 20mph! HAHA

I'll see if I can find some pictures of the one we made.

Brian for 5-600 you can get a pit bike, either that or get the motorized scooter you were looking at the other day for $150.

There you go, ROAD RASH SUCKS! You won't want to shower for a week with 20mph death-trap-scooter-board scrapes!

Get a fiddy!

^pitbike would be a no thanks, I had a couple pocket rockest and I'd much rather have something to stand up on. I may just go with a go-ped now that I think about how I'd lock this thing up.

Sorry, hip-talk for Fifty cc pitbike. Get a gas powered one. Then go with a 88cc big bore kit and remove the limiter, never ending fun, offroad, onroad, with chick, without chick, get chick, burn outs, wheelies, flips...it go's on.

You can only do what on that board, a turn? :) But you seem to be a board guy, so it could be good off-season training/exercise!

Hell yes! buy it and let me try it! :D

I have a goped and it is fun as hell, this would be fun to try too :) Looks like more of a PITA to drive, but should be fun!

Stick MattD on it while you're at it!

^wanna just sell me your go ped haha. Aw this thing would be a ton of fun considering I don't snowboard near as much as I'd like to anymore being that fargo has no hills.

I know I don't want another pit bike or pocket bike either. Sure they are a blast, but I only wanna spend a couple hundro and a nice pit bike would be a little pricey.
