Fejas Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 4footers are great... although you need the stems that go all the way to the top to claim solo... Quote
freeclimb9 Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A girl was recovering from injuries on Wednesday after the shopping cart she was riding in crashed while careering down a hill at an estimated 45 miles per hour. The girl suffered a broken shoulder and "road rash" after she and several other youngsters decided to take the cart for a ride in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, but lost control of their gravity-powered vehicle, police said. "Although the incident appears to be one of thrill-seeking, police remind youths that partaking in activities such as these can result in severe injuries or worse, death," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a news release. None of the other youngsters was reported injured. Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 I'll bet they don't try that again. What doesn't kill us makes us stonger. Quote
klenke Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 When I was a high schooler with a driver's license we used to do mean mean things to shopping carts (and mailboxes with said shopping carts), but we never sat in the carts while we were doing so. Quote
Dru Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Cart luge is fun. We used to do that down the hill near UBC long before Jackass the Movie ever came out. Quote
Fejas Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Well yeah.... But it has to be a two man team, one to weight down the front by riding in side, and one to stear, and break by riding on the back... the races are like drags, two carts per race... Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 In high school I used to go in the empty lots at night and find a stray. I'd nose my van up to it and romp on the gas, then hit the brakes. The cart would rocket across the lot and flip over the curb into the street, making a terrible crashing sound. Interesting cart problem: roll the cart backwards and jump on the front, then try to get it to do a 360. It's easy to get a 180 but the full spin takes practice. Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 NBN, I'll bet you also enjoy running down garbage cans, especially the metal ones, at 4 am. Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Cats are often louder than that. Drop it in first, floor it and aim just three feet ahead of kitty kitty Quote
