    I’m not a warrior, I’ve just lost the memory of what happened last time, and all the numbers after 8 and the word for those flapping flying things that sit on power lines. People keep talking about Traumatic Brain Injury. I think that’s my favourite punk band?

    If anyone knows of one that still exists in Ohio please let me know. Hell, I’d travel to PA, WV, or Kentucky to play on one (Indiana can kiss my shiney metal ass)

    The version we have over here, has a static disk in the center that allows you to keep accelerating while you are on it.
    Sadly they tend to be built in sandpits causing them to seize up earlier that they should.

    The little ones were worse in my experience. They tended to turn better on the axles and with couple guys spinning on the outside you could really get them going, then have the people riding move to the inside and it blue-shifts.

      Look, if someones going to wind a 100+ foot strap to the wheel and latch it to their tow hook, I’m going to hop in… they went through a lot of effort. What’s the worst that can happen?

    Got my first 8 stitches from playing on one of these. Lost my balance sitting on the bar, flipped over, and smacked my head into the base platform. Still have the scar.

    You’d think the bigger ones would be worse than the small ones, but you’d be wrong. 🤮
