      I ride bikes as well, both street and dirt, and yes we have helmets pads ect. but the basic design of a bar stool racer is BAD :) to high up and unbalanced. Just the slightest wheel nudge and it will go over. Running around by yourself is cool, contact with anything or anyone else and roadrash..

      They are FUN though :)

    What are these people thinking. I bet these thing's tip over all time. Motorized bar stool's first were used in the pits at race events to get around. Racing them is just stupid!!

    This isn't a new sport. Theres been a lot of bars in the Fox Valley area here in Wisconsin that have been doing it for -years-.

    Maybe new in the "accepted as an olympic sport" sense, but in the grand scheme it's not.
