Lightbulb WARNING - do not buy a petrol powered offroad skateboard

unless u have supreme balance and dont care for ure own well being.

ive bought one and im suffering already

they are one wheel drive - they are powered from the back right wheel which makes setting off a bit scary, not to mention when u lift off the throttle.

the break is only on the back left wheel which is awful, when u break.....u fall off

im sure ill change my mind when ive mastered it but at the moment im sat here bleeding and in alot of pain after my first big fall......all i would say.....be very carefull with em

its all good fun i guess......

Unless you were fully padded up I don't have much sympathy, if you were I'd complain about the kit
