Holy sh*t.

How crazy-cool is that!!!!!!!!!

Trying to figure out what that semi-open wheel car is?

Somehow missed this thread. I'm pretty sure that's the Otto Mathe built Universal, powered by a 4 cam Carrera engine.

Ehh, it doesn't look that dangerous to me. :D When I was a kid in Michigan we used to hitch rides by holding onto unsuspecting car bumpers and slide crouched down behind the car..... hoping that they didn't cross a plowed street - or that our parents found out. :eek: It seems there used to be more snow, and they didn't use salt or go crazy plowing. The good old days.:rolleyes: Curt, you're much too young to remember this. ;)

Jim we did the same thing as a kid in New England, we called it bumper jumping.
Later we got "smart" enough to use own own cars and have a person in the car looking out for open tar to give us warning when to let go.
We used to see 40 mph on a good snow covered road.
Seems crazy now but in the day it was just a way of having fun during the long winters.
I suspect the guys in the video feel the same way today.

We called it "skitching"

Must find some of those Bultaco skis....
