That ridding backwards thing you can't do on a lot of bikes since peddling backwards is the brake. I can't remember what it is called but there is a movement of tricks just like this where everything is on the ground and there aren't any jumps but I can't remember what it is called.

Ya that was (e:heidi) - unfortunately, it lost two of its wings. If anyone ever sees another sprinkler like that, tell me.
mike - 06/14/09 16:11

tinypliny - 06/14/09 16:08

Traffic Monster
Some kid was arrested for making this:

News article:

That is really awesome. I get why it concerns the police though.
1) Some construction area isn't marked correctly and that is a danger
2) The distraction of the monster itself is dangerous

That being said as long as the guy took one piece from each area as opposed to all the pieces from the same spot then nothing should happen to the guy.
tinypliny - 06/12/09 16:13
LOL. The police need to chill. That's so cool. :)
terry - 06/12/09 14:01
that is amazingly awesome
jbeatty - 06/12/09 13:35
That is awesome! It reminds me of when someone programmed one of those electronic construction signs on Main st. a few months ago to say "Zombies Ahead, Proceed with Caution". I tried to snap a picture but it came out crappy.
