Ummm - well - errr

We did kinda do that on the Honda 3 wheel atv we had at EW DPO - also used to chase the fireys in their Honda Odyssey up and down the sand dunes on Morelands beach. ( That is where it decided it no longer needed a boom and flashing amber light!) They were and still are hares at DPO, and flourishing since we no longer have fireys with weapons that never existed to thin them.

Best fun were the wheelchair races from Streddies hangar up to bomb scare corner.

Ingredients:

1 wheelchair
25+ knots out of the west
1 umbrella
1 Ansett trafficy similarly equipped
Little regard for own safety.

Drop footplates - pop brolly and pray!!

It was a little hard when you had a departure lounge with early checkins to explain why 2 dudes had just gone screaming past in wheelchairs pulling around 30kph. Also hard to explain why we were always ordering new wheels.

Classic fun. Try it if you can get away with it.

Warning: The amount of pain experienced on stopping is directly proportional to your terminal velocity and inability to control a wheelchair on grass on the overrun.

Best all
