how fast do those things go? 100 feet isn't that long of a course, or
maybe they have incredible acceleration.

Interesting....I'm not quite sure I get it though...is it just anything
that has one "wheel" (as in, a big motorized roller would work?)

I've seen this sport on TV before. It's INSANE!

There is no balance involved, the machines consist of an engine and a
wheel and a throttle (with a dead man's handle). That's it. No more.

The "rider" just hangs on behind it, being dragged along the ground,
for dear life as the machine hurtles across a field towards the
spectators at the other end. Some (the minority from what I saw) have
some kind of control over the direction that they're travelling, but
it's not an awful lot!

I think the consumption of a clear brown liquid (not tea) before
driving one of these monsters is almost mandatory. I know I'd need some
:eek:

I would believe in a subject line.

Yes, it's the subject-line police again. Some of us should know
better!

I've seen this stuff before, but will not suggest using the search to
find it as it's probably one of those hard-to-find ones. But the
site(s) that were linked before were longer and had more pictures.

Problem with those guys is they don't take seriously the idea of
*riding* something with one wheel. They assume you have to drag the
ground for it to work at all.
