Much like red lights, brakes are for pansies...

Awesome.

He rode them for 36 seconds.

Maybe with some R&D they might last the full minute.

I think that RLJs have a flawed risk/responsibility profile.

The wheels are clever but more an expression of art than anything practical.
Not cool for me. To be really cool they should excel at both form and function.
