Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

One of the coolest things i've seen---that was awesome! Wish that guy flew around my area--we have about 6 gliders scattered across the trees here, at least 8 paratroopers and 1 yoyo (an around the world trick got away from my son).
