  1. Ottawa Dave had this idea quite a while ago and it was on my todo list
    all summer to give it a go. Roman and I finally tried it out over the
    Labour Day long weekend. You can check out the video here...

    turn...good work.

  3. I like the way the brackets are designed to have up to 4 motors
    attached, and even firing with 1 gave you a small speed boost... Looks
    like a cool idea, especially for parades or something.

  8. that is super-cool!! rocket powered BC Wheeling!
    you should be able to ignite it somehow while riding, and start it when
    you start to go uphill 🙂

  9. That was so cool. There has been an outcry (excessive in my opinion)
    about videos with people riding with no safety equipment. You one up
    them all. No pads, no gloves, no helmet, and now.... no fire
    extinguisher. Are you going to try a model with more power?

    Good luck finding a working pirate
    That site is making me drool.
    Edit... next time, post something like this in JC, and a string of
    question marks does not constitute a title.
    I was drooling over all those spools.

    moment.

  14. That was amazing! Now if you could make a video using all four of the
    engines I would be in total awe. Not that I'm not already, haha.

  17. Great Video.

    It is great that you were able to make that work.

    Of all the videos posted on the site, that has to be the most
    original.

  19. It was a pretty good time to build and test rocket powered BC wheel.
    Jason was able to stick it on his 3rd attempt.

    One problem with the design is there is a wire going from the bottom of
    the plate to the trigger that Jason was holding in his hand. I'm going
    to see if I can mod my old micro R/C car into a remote trigger.
