There is old saying. I believe it goes something like this: FAUWK THAT I am going with this answer.

i'd be more impressed to see this done with a tiller handle. That would be savage Brewer but in reality some of those hydraulics would likely rip the tiller out of your hand faster than you could fart.

I don't want to go on that ride. I love the standby power, however. Cool vid!

Thanx Drew!
I'm having a hard time getting the stones to do the Snoqualamie from Fall City to Carlsons and back up in my new sled, then you post this?
Hell, I'll make that run for you and I've only ran a sled once. Haha. All joking aside, with your rowing experience you'll be fine running any of our local criks. Lets get that beast out there soon and put some blood in it!

I love this stuff, super exciting. I have insufficient real experience to differentiate between the awesome being the engineering the machines or the execution on the water??? I'm sure good helpings of both are required.
I'm also insufficiently experienced in sleds to know how close/easily this could all go bad. Seems dangerous, but not in that preposterous that humanity does this kind of thing. Those guys on the x-games half pipe or whatever, that seems preposterous to me.

If you like to watch this kind of racing, there will be a couple of races in Port Angeles this summer/fall. There are also races in OR at a couple of tracks. http://www.ussbaracing.com/
