If you haven't already watch the film Cool Runnings. John Candy is great in this.

Hey, BeeTee, how's this for an idea? You bring a skateboard and I'll drive you to the top of Aenos then video your progress as you luge down the road  :nai:

Hey Maik,
Sounds good to me but I think your video may show my 'aenos' suffering quite a bit of damage when I come off the skateboard.
