Oh we do wear shoes or at least flip flops. And we don't have hills like that so we don't get up as much speed so it's not as crazy as they make it look.

yeah, they seem a little extreme...I'd just hate to wreck wearing shorts or no shoes, not to mention helmet (which I noticed one guy had). I don't mind living a little on the edge, but ya gotta be smart about it too just in case something goes wrong.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build

like your pops old vw. may only do 55 but he's styling all the way.
the trikes are over the top. look way too dangerous but then i'm of the steel wheel skateboard generation and the edge back then was much softer.

excellent work on the cluster. thanks, its a great guide for us all

I liked the trike video not something I would do now at my age, but if I was 18 again watch out. I had a 61 VW bug w/36er it would do an honest 65 but it had to be slightly down hill with a tail wind, cool build by the way...Vernski
