evolved from Von Dutch's 2 stroke pogo stick, the Hop Rod... dangerous powered pogo

This is the first time I've seen one in person. It looks unused because it probably is virtually unridden. These things have hurt people, and the only riders that I've seen (on youtube) successfully not get thrown have been skateboarders and stunt men

to see Von Dutch's design: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/12/two-stroke-pogo-stick-and-nitro-roller.html

was the "Dude" at Qualcomm yesterday? Looks like him!

The Dude, character in the Big Lebowski and was played by Jeff Bridges

for a look at the humorous odd stuff found around Texas, look over at "Caught at the Curb"

Where do maniacs learn such hideous custom techniques?

This immediately reminded me of this nut with a 90's Mustang http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/what-h-who-does-this-to-new-mustang.html
