Classic "hold my beer and watch this" moment

As a fellow redneck, I have to say, that was some awsome shiat.
We lost cousin skeeter just the other day doing something like that, only it involved an old rusted chevy, some gunpowder, and a couple 6 packs.

God damn do I hate Texas.

Out of all of them nobody thought to say, "Wait a sec, if he gets thrown off, won't he fall directly on his head in a vest fast and hard manner? Let's at least get a helmet on him."

Kid's just lucky he didn't stay on long enough for that issue to come up I guess.

Cool-ish. I wish people using explosive acceleration would learn how the center of gravity of an object is useful. Maybe he coulda gone in a straight line really really fast.

I guess subby didn't see the video. According to that rockets and scooters do mix, they mix in a humorous manner possibly inflicting injury.

I appreciated that only because, at the end of it, there was a link to the "Cheerleaders Gone Wild" video.

Valacirca: God damn do I hate Texas.

Good. Texas hates you, if you stay the hell out, we'll all be happy.

Check out the chain-letter style post in the comments section - "Don't read this. This is just for my peace of mind." Do people really believe that crap?

FeBolas: Good. Texas hates you, if you stay the hell out, we'll all be happy.

See, this is part of what I'm talking about. What other freaking state in the entire country has residents who get so damn up in arms about any comments directed at the state? You don't even live there anymore, get over yourself.

I'm with you, Valacirca. Fark Texas and the entire state's brainwashing of its inhabitants. What a ridiculous mindset these people have.

///That scooter would have gone in a straight line if the idiot builder had angled the rockets nose-down instead of nose-up.

i was really hoping someone got hurt for my waiting.

The rockets burned for about two seconds. It would have been pretty pointless if the thing didn't eject the rider.

Carrollton? I wondering what I saw crossing the air traffic pattern that day.

Edit out the first two-and-a-half minutes, and teach the guy to hold the damn camera steady. I got motion sickness waiting for something to happen.
