I remember those days at the top of the hill in NJ when me and my cousins raced down the hill, we used to crash those things all the time and tore up some skin to go along with it.

I've looked into buying one about a year ago, and I realized that they DO NOT sell them in the United States.

That video was in Austrialia. I've searched for them here, and no luck.

******* awesome. I lived on a pretty steep hill, and me and a friend from across the street used to bomb down the hill and do the same slides on our Green Machines.
