you want to roll that thing around on those spikes?
IN college I screwed a bunch of short sheet metal screws through my mountain bike tires to get that sort of effect. Scary, and only partly efficient, but fun. [thumbsup]
I would so ride that Duc. ;D

most ice racing orgs require the absence of brakes. it's like dirt track or speedway (roundy round) not motocross..

i'd have to look the pics i took from the other side, but i think that's the pipe for the vertical cylinder.

Wow. I'd think it would be kinda easy to get into a hairy situtation rather quickly with no brakes.
That sounds kinda scary.
