CR500 motors in those things.

they look like fun.

I have never seen anything like that. Do you stand while riding ? And why do they have such small tires ? The suspension looks to be very limited, where would you ride this? The front tire does not look dune compatible.

WTF indeed...I guess he's packin the lunch to eat while he's layed out on the ground.

Sly has videos of these running on his website, and some awsome video footage.

You stand on 'em like a scooter. They got around the dunes pretty good.

What a funny post this is. These guys on their stand up scooters were camped next to us at Coral Pink one weekend. If I remember correctly the red one had a 400ex quad motor in it and the white one definately had a CR500 motor.
These were hand made 100% custom. They were on a trip back from the Bonneville Salt Flats testing grounds where they did 103MPH (2005) on the white one two times in a row setting a land speed record for the type of vehicle. NUTS !!! :-o
I looked up the records and it looks to be 99MPH (2004). Check this article http://www.inventionshow.com/17_inv_community/200409/02_extreme_scooter.asp (http://www.inventionshow.com/17_inv_community/200409/02_extreme_scooter.asp)
Another for 2006 http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=3932&Page=1 (http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=3932&Page=1)
The tires are standard quad rubber and the suspension was pretty good looking for them. The white one was fast and kicked up a serious roost. I think my back would end up killing me after about 30 minutes of riding those things since I would be hunched over with no cushy KX5 seat to sit on.
Definately a conversation piece.... Sly

So, this is a great little topic so I figured it was my civic duty to put together the video footage I have of the scooter(s). This is all I had and didn't get a chance to film them out on the dunes. When you see him head up between the fencing, we call that the cut up to the dunes and it is usually 1-2 foot woops all the way up.
Here is the video without all the other stuff on the video from my website: http://www.kxriders.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=85&pos=0

Sly, what kind of video editing software are you using?

SWEET!

I use Pinnacle Systems Studio 9 with the Movie Box DV firewire. I haven't needed to upgrade to Studio 10 since I like what I use now. I have added some features to it through the website downloads. You can add what you want, in sections, for a fee of course. Love it.
