Ha ha! That kid is awesome! And so was my 50! It's also a great way to hurt yourself on something made for 8 year olds. That's hard to explain on Monday mornings. But it taught me how to wheelie a motorcycle the right way, and it's carried over to everything since then, motos and bicycles.

I still have my 50. I love it! Haven't ridden it in a year or so, but my worst motorcycle scar comes from my 50. I got bored with wheelies because I could ride them until I got bored, literally, so I started rolling stoppies. Well the inevitable happened and I hit the brakes too hard and went over the bars. The rear stunt peg came down on my ankle and it sliced me good. It didn't need stitches, but it hurt like a sumbitch and that scar is still visible.

To who though? Only an idiot IMO. But I mean that's art. People pay thousands or millions for a painting with a dot on it because of "interpretation".

Land Rover is building this one-off Defender to hang in a department store in London. It reminds me of the Fairgrounds Square Mall in Reading, PA when I was a kid. It was sadly built on the former site of a dirt oval track. The mall had dirt modified hanging from the ceiling when I was a kid.

At 1:40 and 2:10 he gets a little sideways but loses round 2. 6:30 was a good race. # 7:30. 8:30 rematch was good.

^^They ruined a perfectly good oval track by putting those stupid buildings right in the middle of the straights.
