Damn, these things are awesome!

lol, And Napoleon Dynamite fans will like em too :D

Speaking as a physicist...this thing is death. It really is. You have to run faster to make it go faster, right? Well, as a person runs faster, their movements are increasingly jarring. Couple that with the fact this thing is a quite tall, and the fact that you'll not necessarily be running perfectly centered, and you get some awesomely horrific crashes...

But I'd still try one.

This does not appear to prevent 'degenerative disc compression' of the back, or the ligament stress on the knee. Why not just run instead? It does prevent the ligamnet compression of a normal bike pedal stroke, but then places stress back upon the arch, ankle, knee joint, and lower back. Can you say "Injury induced lawsuit"?

Other than that, looks like a POS to me!
What's the price?
What's the sense of taking it outside if all the bouncy girls are inside on the other treadmills? :D </font>

Why not just run or bike?

lol, and while you are there, you should check out the Couch bike and Hula bike :D

LOL I thought this was the best line,"use it instead of your car for everyday tasks such as shopping" and what put the groceries into what your hat,or maybe some basket to insure even the most cordinated user is still sure to dump it over.

I think you guys missed the overarching importance of the sweet jumps. This could set up some hilarious "Man did they deserve that injury" videos.

It's like a Segway Scooter. You don't want one. You want to see someone fall down on one. Or maybe I'm evil. :D
