drift trike part 2

So today, Tyson(my coworker) and i went up towards Thunder Ridge mountain and rode the drift trike down the panorama hills street.
we each did 2 runs

This is my second run
2nd run

On Tyson's second run he didnt get his foot out of the way when turning and the tire buzzed his leg. he got some rash from it, but all is well, as you can tell my my laughing at him
Poor Tyson


When i made the axel for the wheels i did a stupid thing.
Thinking that the plastic wheel turning on the metal axel would wear it out, i pressed a metal pipe sleeve into the wheel and that rotated around the metal axel. This created alot of friciton and melted the wheels quite a bit. the hole in the wheel used to be about 3/4 inch, not it is more like 2 inches. Back to the drawing board!! it was fun anyways

Here are a few screenshots i took of the better parts
