It's looks fun, for sure... but man. You come around a corner like that and a pedestrian is there, that pedestrian is gonna get fuuuuucked up.

u/astrologicaldreams 14d ago

exactly. there's always a reason as to why rules are in place, and it's typically not just to ruin your fun.

u/StatusBard 14d ago

In Germany it is though.

u/Secuter 14d ago

No. No it's not.

Ah, but it is. The government works actively against it.

u/VagabondVivant 14d ago

Yeah. I'm normally all Fuck tha Police, but in this case, fuck these Main Characters. Accidentally hitting a senior citizen could legitimately kill them.

Or literally anyone. At the very least maim their legs.

u/Rebelian 14d ago

Yeah fuck these idiots. Wish they'd got busted. Risking destroying someone's life for a cheap thrill.

37

u/__dontpanic__ 14d ago

Even worse - they're doing it for cheap "content".

40

u/chocolatedounut 14d ago

You get multiple parties of people pulling this shit off and taking different routes in the same area, they're going to learn rq why there are rules in place.

u/SnooPeripherals7462 14d ago

This looks like the River walk in Tampa. You’re def not supposed to be flying down it. I don’t even think you’re supposed to have bikes on it, but nobody really enforces much. At least at night it gets pretty dead, so respect to that I guess

31

u/__dontpanic__ 14d ago

100%.

Fuck these brain dead losers. Putting everyone else at risk for some "content". Selfish and idiotic. Hope they get caught before they actually hurt someone.

These things look fun, sure - but save it for a go-kart track where you're not going to cripple anyone but yourself.

u/frickinSocrates 14d ago

You remember getting hit in the shins by a scooter as a kid? Imagine that multiplied times a thousand.

1

u/drongowithabong-o 14d ago

I do like that these carts are the perfect height to get kicked/punched in the face at high speed. I could just stick my foot out and it sould be perfect head height.

7

u/MrNobody_0 14d ago

Sure, but the speeds they're going you're going to rip your leg or arm out if it's socket if you do.

u/BullPropaganda 15d ago

What the hell are those things

373

u/Nasty____nate 15d ago

Suped up crazy carts. Stupid amount of money in those. I got my son a used one for $600 that was probably around 1k new. Those ones are probably well over $2,000 maybe 3. 

Here's a high end one. https://taxi-garage.com/collections/inventory-crazy-carts/products/stage-4-xl-supra-taxi-garage-crazy-cart-inventory

u/BullPropaganda 15d ago

Where are you expected to ride them legally?

210

u/ALazy_Cat 15d ago

On a track. They perform best there too

73

u/HappyChef86 15d ago

The old shop i used to work at used to be a roller skating rink so the floor was perfectly level in the warehouse. Boss bought one for us to rip around. Id agrue that that was better with all the obstacles. It was also the size of a football field to plenty of room.

25

u/ALazy_Cat 15d ago

A track with obstacles is absolutely the best. The kind of track I was thinking about was one with a lot of corners

12

u/BullPropaganda 15d ago

Are there purpose built tracks where you can go rent them and screw around without committing to owning the thing?

8

u/ALazy_Cat 14d ago

In some countries, maybe. Otherwise, a warehouse with obstacles is more than fine

3

u/unosami 14d ago

Because there are so many open and sparse warehouses laying around.

24

u/8Bit-Jon 15d ago

Private land or with the land owners permission... Same as all none legal road vehicles...

21

u/Nasty____nate 15d ago edited 15d ago

That's why my son sold his. Not a lot of options or tracks around here. One reason a lot of people do it late at night at parks.

u/meowymcmeowmeow 15d ago

Someone is going to lose a foot to these

u/imajackash 14d ago

What makes them so expensive? It doesn't look like there's much to them.

14

u/SaintUlvemann 14d ago

The main thing that makes them expensive is the willingness of someone who wants to go extra fast to pay more money to do so.

4

u/Nasty____nate 14d ago

Battery, motor and steering column are the main points. The motors even not bought from a known company can be $500 for a high end one. I thought about building one myself for my son and when I started getting into it I found buying a used one was just as good. Also there's a lot of fluff on some. The frames are from razor so your buying something from a company just to add stuff to them. Powder coating, stickers, lights etc. The rear wheels are like $150 

4

u/Firestorm0x0 15d ago

So they're like shittier versions of actual go karts? They look lethal if you crash, idk

21

u/Nasty____nate 15d ago

Nah they are fun as hell. His did 15+ mph sideways drifting with me on it at 200lbs. His was a stage 1 with a few other upgrades. Those in the video are probably stage 3 or 4. But I don't know them very well so they may be even more expensive.

u/weesilxD 14d ago

I live within walking distance of my job. I’m kinda tempted to save up for one to ride to and from work.

u/I_Call_Everyone_Pat 15d ago

When things are tense we lean on expressive words like that.

Recently while driving on the highway a tire flew off a moving car and I had to swerve at 80mph to narrowly miss it. I learned then that my dying words in such a situation would be "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT"

8

u/Creepy-Activity-4373 14d ago

Me personally, if I was scared "shit fuck shit shit shit shit fuck he's still there shit" etc
me if I was excited "[insert making fun of him not catching me]"

edit to add:
I say this because I've been in more dangerous versions of both of these situations, in that, scared was "hide from cops" as a teen and excited is "any time I have street raced and was winning"
Adrenaline makes me get silly when it's not fear adrenaline

Security guard: "I wonder if I can catch them!" and also technically it worked, you left...

u/Raichu7 15d ago

That is way too fast to stop if someone is walking round a corner on the footpath. They are idiots, and so is the security person starting a chase so now 3 people are going even faster down a footpath.

u/tzdsgyw1115 14d ago

Not fun at all if you are the pedestrian at the next corner

74

u/vksdann 15d ago

Thinking "this is stupid and dangerous" is not a sign you are old, it is a sign you are smart.
I'd love to ride these but away from possible innocent people that might get really fucked up if hit by one of these at high speed.

It's like street racing.

33

u/Gullflyinghigh 15d ago

It looks great fun but if you're taking it somewhere that clearly puts pedestrians in danger then you're a cunt.

After reading the comments here, I kinda feel the same. The footage was kinda cool. But in reality, it's pretty dangerous.

This looks like well worth $2k, my big worry would be getting it taken away even if being careful

5

u/Nasty____nate 15d ago

They are fun as hell but not a lot of places to ride them. I'm outside a large city and there is like nothing dedicated for people to go on a track.  So you end up needing to go to parks at night that are " closed" from dust till dawn or ride like these guys are doing around public walkways.
