    Wow! An alky burning diesel?

    How the heck was he keeping it in the lane with the wheels up? He seems to have figured out some system, cuz he was squirreling all around at first, yet squared it up and ended up centered the entire way.

    I figured it was something like that. Seems like a lot of work being done to keep it straight.

    Yeah, the same type of brake/steering set up used by Bill "Maverick" Golden on the famous "Little Red Wagon" wheelstander

    In fact, I think Golden invented, or at least pioneered the brake/steering idea after a couple of nasty crashes.

    The dude's name is Maverick, you know it's got to be cool! (y)
