    Watch this crazy shit, gets real good after 4;30mins!
    You can see more of the San Fernando Valley Illegal Soapbox Federation here.

    So, anyone keen for a run down the hill from Corromandel Lookout some time next year?

    I was hoping there'd be a few takers!

    I will be bringing my welding gear back up from my mums ready to make one.

    Yep, down the Kaimais for a test run or two!

    Rack and pinion steering, high pressure (100psi) sports wheels, and just a little bit of mayhem!

    I'm thinking of getting a wrecked Karting chassis and using the running gear, good steering, real sticky wheels, brakes that actually work, be alot of fun!

    The alternative is to get a few luge's and go down on them.

    What we should do is find the BEST place to have a downhill maniac-a-thon

    First place I thought of was Corromandel lookout down the east side, quite a long bit of downhill road with some great tight corners.
    Any other ideas?
    I'm keen to do this and willing to travel!
