Big Wheels
Easter Sunday, I had one of the worst hangovers I've ever had. I was utterly useless. I did make it out for two things; 1) I attempted to hit a Target and/or Toys R Us only to discover that I don't really live in a town full of heathens after all (they were closed for Easter!). I want my money back. 2) Even though I felt like crap and puked into a trash bin along the way, I *HAD* to make it to the Bring Your Own Big Wheels Race.
I didn't acquire a vehicle, so I was only there to watch. Flugtag and Soap Box Race be damned! This was amazing non-stop carnage. Wipeout after wipeout. Little plastic parts flying all over the place. Once the races started I could not stop laughing. This is the right level of stupid any event could ever aspire to achieve. The paramedics at the bottom of the hill were pretty busy. I love SF because it never fails to make me LOL.
This one has some equipment failure drama unfolding until SFPD comes by to regulate:
Chain reaction wipeout during the last heat:
Another set of hard wipeouts:
Elmo, Super Mario, and the camera man almost gets taken out:
(Not my video) The very start of one of the heats. This one really dials in how fast these guys are going. I crack up every time I see the dude in the giant Mexican sombrero riding a compost bin down the hill.
