that video is really annoying in my opinion because it sounds like the entire thing is a joke.

If I saw someone riding one of those I would most likely say "wow thats sweet, I be t you it costs alot..... LETS frakin steal it!" i would then chase the person down, push them off of it and proceed to riding away and putting a patent pending on it!

It looks like the belt acts like pedals, turning a chain that turns a freewheel, like on a bike.

The narrator sounds in places like she's about to crack up laughing.

Throw away the bike and keep the girl, is what sounds best to me. :p

that sounds like fun!!

it doesn't seem like theres a chain attached to the wheel though. at first i thought the belt runs along the back wheel so when you run the wheel turns. but the guy coasts on it for a bit. so thats wierd!

the narrator doesn't sound very excited when she says "oh shizzle"

I'm at work so i watched it without the audio. I do think it's a joke. You can sort of tell by the production value.

I loved the guy who said "This is the coolest thing I've ever been on!"

He must be leading a sheltered life.

Why Not Just Run?????!?!!?!?!??!?!?!??!!?!?!!??!?!??!?!!?
Because the earth's surface is dirty and covered in contaminants, obviously! Eurgh...

I keep hearing about people who have cleaned scary descents on my local trails, but every time I go they're still covered in dust and dirt. Liars.

WHAT?! You mean they're just building comedy cycling contraptions for no reason other than FOR A BIT OF FUN?!

HOW DARE THEY!!!

People having fun... I don't know. It's just not like it was back in the good old days.
