A few years back at Soul Survivor we had a lot of fun when we taped a chair to my skateboard and used the “chairboard” to come down the hill through the site. Pretty cool I thought but I just found this picture where someone has taken the concept to a new dimension, respect!
Anyone want to do the risk assesment on this one!
(I wonder if the “race down the stairs in a cardboard box” that we used to have in our youth building is still allowed?)

that’s awesome.. i once duct taped a chair to a furniture dolly and had two kids pull me chariot style. we would get so fast that it would sling me around the corners. still that’s nothing compared to doing a downhill on a backwards facing office chair.
Didn’t the steward tell you off at SS for that little stunt? was very very funny tho!
Brainiacs (TV prog – you’ve probably never seen it) did a trial of chairs powered by fire extinguishers! I think the wheelchair came out on top both for speed and stability, the office chair ditched its rider within seconds.
Was that the same year you broke my garden chair by sitting *through* it?! Sorry – couldn’t resist that.
No, that was in fact a different year. Please also note that I still maintain that it was a damaged chair rather than a weight issue!
