that's why I'm not clicking on anything labeled dirtsurfing. I'd probably get interested, try it, and write about my recovery here.

the more people that get interested the better!
if enough people take it up Guiness will recognise it as a sport and then the world record attempt for speed can be made!
The unofficial record is about 75mph. Some people claim to have topped 100 but i find that hard to beleive.
OOOH the wonders of gravity.

At least ten times. Tribdog has no will power, he's like a puppy that runs as fast as it can don the hall, slides across the linoleum not knowing that it can't stop there and goes smack into the wall (and of course its hilarious to watch and the children trick him into doing it over and over).

:-p :-p

Thats from running into the wall over and over. I'll have to yell at the sisters to get them to stop doing that to you.

I think it's just something going around. I mean, afterall, tribdog was talking like a grown up giving advice to smurf the other day, and in another thread, someone told him something he said made sense. :bugeye: I'm sure it will all wear off quickly.

Now that sort of action will get people interested.

Hmm I was disappointed. I was expecting something on dirt hills, that were steep, and something more improvised, like sliding down a big dirt hill in a cardboard box. However, that bike looking skateboard looked quite interesting. I have never seen anything like that before.
