I liked the keyboard and spine-saver best.

Actually the spine-saver seems really useful! I might make one for myself…

I was wondering how difficult this would be to ride.

I found a few youtube videos of people trying to learn, falling over, wobbling about – just as one would expect, really. Then I found this:

That’s a horribly titled article. If most of them are almost impossible to use then I don’t think the product is the cause of the problems.

Ted,
It’s just those who think they know everything are aggravating to those of us who do!

Wow. Two overly long comments to correct the language Nazi. Sounds like rectal sticks for everybody.

@sirwebster

In case you haven’t realized, words have multiple definitions.

Courtesy of your namesake, Merriam-Webster:

Ultimate:
1 a: most remote in space or time : farthest
b: last in a progression or series : final
c: eventual 2
d: the best or most extreme of its kind : utmost

2: arrived at as the last result 3
a: basic , fundamental
b: original 1 c: incapable of further analysis, division, or separation

So uh… read that dictionary that currently resides in your rectum alongside a stick.

I hate to be a language Nazi, but ‘Ultimate’ mean last, not best! Gets right on my chuff that does.

The ultimate wheel isn’t as “impossible” as the impossible wheel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_wheel
