Daring Dirk!
: : I'd do that. It was a sure thing. He had his skates attached to the framework as well as poles (like ski poles) that were affixed permanently to the skate mounts so that he would not fall over forward or backward. I'd totally do that.

Knackers?? Really. You can do better than that, Irene.

does he have hand brakes and does he go fast enough to go up the coaster and ride the whole thing til the end. regardless, he's pretty nuts!

1st off, Dirk AND Biff are both Nuts! Yes, he was permanantly attached, but did you see the stance he had to assume?? And I DON't think those were brakes, just handles so he didn't faceplant & grind his face off with that awkward stance. You couldn't brake & hope to ascend hills on coaster. Those things are enginereed to have exactly the right amount of inertia to let cars get round track. Of course, noone engineered it for blading so....???
Insane. But Very Cool. :)

No.....my knackers are pretty big. I'll need three; 1 for each knacker and one for my cannon. I hope I do not get excited while wearing it over my cannon. That could become very uncomfortable.
