Aug 28 2009Real Life Mario Kart Go-Kart Is Super Scary
This is a video of a go-kart with a Honda CBR 900RR motorcycle engine in it. It's the closest thing to a real Mario Kart I've ever seen. I love how the guy driving doesn't even bother wearing a helmet. Because, honestly, heads are overrated, especially when you're drifting into a curve at a billion miles an hour. I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I would have turbo-boosted through those turns, nancy boy!
900RR Go Kart is pure awesome [videosift]
Thanks deadbodyman -- say, you mind helping me get rid of this thing in my trunk?

GW is right, my head brings nothing but pain, screw it, thats why I took out my brakes and took the windshield out of the lambo

Oooh, where's a blue shell when I need one?

How soon before Rob Dyrdek has one...

That gratuitous misuse of an apostrophe offends me.
Why can't people grasp the difference between "your" and "you're"?
At least when people put apostrophes on plurals they're being consistently wrong because of one mistake. But there really is no excuse for using a contraction in place of a pronoun....
Still, the go-kart is cool.

Lets / Let's too...
Is it really that difficult?

Yay. Two blocked at work videos in the same days. Woo! Sonicwall can suck my balls.

Oh... Your... God...
I want one of these more than a ten year old girl wants a pony, and she really, really wants that pony.

I want one of these more than Brain Peppers wants a ten year old, and he really, really wants that ten year old...

proper good power-slides!!!
14. That Bastard Tony - August 28, 2009 1:19 PM
I so want one even though it's clear this thing is powered by the gold mushroom. Reminds me of the fact that I need to learn how to drift in Mariokart Wii.

@7
actually that's a correct use... "heads are overrated, especially when you're drifting into a curve"
especially when YOU ARE drifting into a curve...
your version wouldn't make sense... especially when your (possessive?) drifting into a curve?
careful before you criticize that what YOU'RE saying makes sense...

in other news, a man was found crumpled to death after his suped up go kart lost control and collided with a parked big rig.
:(

Oh, yeah, I want to be skidding around at 40 mph with my unprotected melon at exactly the fender-height of an SUV, and my ass about a half-inch off the ground.
Also, I think Woody (#7) was referring to the "you're specifications" reference at the end of the video, which was otherwise indicative of an intellect so vast, it cannot be contained in a helmet. Go organ donors!

Seems like a future candidate for the "Darwin Awards."
21. rad to the power of me - August 28, 2009 2:16 PM
haha comment fail for woody!
Go-kart of doom is a better name for this contraption and the idiot moron without a helmet. However, if i had one i would probably want everyone to see my face too.

@21
WHY IS THAT YOUR LINK?
i didn't even click on it i just scrolled over it to see the url....why?
23. toad - August 28, 2009 2:49 PM
His powerslide skills are pretty good but, can he hop that thing off the side of a mountain, fall over to the other side and complete a lap in less than 30 seconds?
24. Luigi - August 28, 2009 2:57 PM
@24: Nah, I'm sure he lacks that skill.
I REALLY want one of these things though. I've only ever drifted on a 4-wheeler on a totally iced backyard. This looks sick.
25. saad - August 28, 2009 2:57 PM
my first thought when i saw this awesomeness yet crazy display of driving around helmetless - it must be florida.
and indeed, the phone number is a 561 area code. florida, believe it or not, has no helmet enforcement for motorcyclists.

26. That one guy - August 28, 2009 3:37 PM
Nope no helmet law here but not bein buckled up is a primary offense now, ACAB.
27. j - August 28, 2009 4:46 PM
quit knocking on the guy for not wearing a helmet, someone needs to test the thing, and who better than someone who wouldn't think to wear one.
: P
28. James - August 28, 2009 5:04 PM
They must change the tires between every take. That's completely insane.
29. Mike Hawk - August 28, 2009 5:07 PM

36. Christian - August 29, 2009 4:01 AM
what would be the coolest thing combine super kart with the mini tumbler kart, your kid would love you forever, i'd even want one, a thought!
37. Woody - August 29, 2009 4:10 AM
@ 16
I was talking about the text at the end of the video, not GW's comments....
38. Woody - August 29, 2009 4:16 AM
