I wish I had taken video of what my son in law and a friend of his did. Wife and I heard a mini bike going down the road, as we looked out the window, there was our son in law sitting on a lawn chair tied to two skateboards, holding a rope and being pulled by the friend on the mini bike. Truly a feat of red neck engineering those two are!!!!
