it sure looks cool, but one has to wonder how many more hours it will be until those goatee-wearing, mountain dew code red swilling, chain wallet wearing hoodlums ruin it by riding these things on skate ramps and terrorizing our public monuments with their "extreme" antics; jumping it into fountains and grinding and bumping and what not.  in my day, you rode a banana seat bicycle off a piece of plywood in the neighbors yard propped up by a cinder block and called it a day.  in this modern era, with jazz and jet planes, you'd need to ride one of these things off the roof of the mci center, with one hand holding a red bull and video camera and the other hand holding a base jumping parachute to deploy on the way down, in order to get anyone to get up off their ass and give you a second look.
