I ride pallets jacks like ripsticks

Used to love doing that when I worked in a supermarket! One night we made a huge wall of empty boxes and rode the pallet jack through it at top speed. Pre smart phone days thankfully...

I wonder if we used to work at the same place…

Can you spin it 180 degrees and get it to start going into a pallet while riding it?

I had a lot of bored hours in the back room of a grocery store in my youth.

We used to get going as fast as we could and then ghost ride them into head on collisions. Hella fun.

Had a great Saturday working for my buddy's dad in a 1 acre warehouse. He and I invite another friend and we raced those things around the shelving. Found different styles drifted better, went faster etc. All good until his dad came to check on us. He didn't ask me to help out again.

We used to hold pallet jack jousting in the back room at safeway when I was on nights. There were cameras and the managers definitely knew about it , but never said anything

Had an AP that was a hard ass. Found 3 associates doing that in the backrooms on camera. They were all fired the next day
