    Awesome,
    Now instead of cross-country racing we can have cross-lake racing.
    Looks like they can go on land too.
    You could have a triathalon, lol.

    They are pretty fun. I've been using them at resorts for years. They dont do very well on land tho. Hard to paddle on land. Pavement they spin over as well as rocks, with a fair amount of effort. Now how come they didnt ban these and those trikes you give to a child before they get a bike? lol.

    No, it'd be a Trike-athalon! Could have a leg of these across a lake, then kick start a 350X w/o a decompression cable, then ride it to a trike buried in a mud pit that you need to unstuck by hand and drag it out to the finish line.

    Anyone else have ideas for a Trikeathalon segment(s)??
