Had a chat to two young teenagers who parked their death defying machine outside my local bunnings. Got to admire the fearlessness of youth. Note the packing tape holding seat and board together.

Reminds me of some of the dangerous things I did for fun as a child. Most stupid was probably raiding dads amateur rifelry gunpowder and building a mortar from tennis ball tins for a tube, shotgun cartridge for explosive propulsion and aforementioned gunpowder for explosive warhead. Used a nail as a firing pin for the shotgun cartridge. Didn't work well but at least I still have all my body parts.

Oh well. At least these kids used a helmet!
