I’d try it!

Once…. Cool

I don’t think they’re going as fast as the camera makes it loook but…. The camera is not hiding the steepness of the edges either

Maybe twice. Once to get a feel for it & the turns, and a 2nd to bomb down it at speed.
3 times, you start taking risks & die.

True! A second run would get me more than “a stern talking-to” from The Lovely Girlfriend. Big Grin

We used to do that as kids on Big Wheels at twice the speed. Buncha little girls there.

I was kinda thinking those karts needed bigger front wheels. Smile

That sounds about right. Make a memory but then then live to tell about it.

This is the kind of stuff I did when I was ten. We tied my brother to a tricycle and put a salt bag over his head. Then we pushed him down a steep hill. Got in trouble for that one.
Thanks for posting.

25 years ago,

There is a place on the north side of Joshua tree monument that is down hill for five miles but it was a lot straighter .


On two separate occasions we clocked skateboarders at 20-25 m.p.h. .

No helmets or pads , I think they had welders gloves on , I.i.r.c.





Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

And that's one area where Europe is better than the US. Or at least it was when I lived there. All that litigious civil bullshit isn't really a thing.

Want to ride a sketchy kart down a gravel track on a mountainside? Blow yourself up with giant black-market fireworks? Or get on some sketchy communist-era roller coaster assembled and maintained by Romanian gypsy-carnies?

Go ahead. It's your life. You knew what you were doing...when it goes wrong don't whine about it because you've got nobody to blame but yourself.

They have a Mario Kart version in Vietnam that looks absolutely deadly.

That would be a big NO for me. I don't heal as quick as I used to.

I’m game. They have brakes. Just that steep mountain drop at the very beginning to slow down until past it then it’s straight fun. I wouldn’t be in such a big pack either. Looks like a blast to me.

Let's go!

Welcome to the Sigform Mountain Cart invitational, where brains are optional, but testicles are mandatory.

Sponsored by Hawk brakes, Fox motox gear, and AGV helmets.

After the race, interviews will be held at the midfield medical care center.
