On PBS Seattle tonight was this documentary about these homeless guys who ride shopping carts down the hills of North Vancouver. For those who know
North Van, some of the hills they ride down are Mtn Hwy from McNair to Lynn Valley, Keith Rd to Mtn Hwy, Delbrook from Mount Royal to Queens. The
highlight is the road down from Cypress Bowl. Video is available at the NFB web site.

That's a 1 hour video. Not happening. I'd love to see the 4 minute version of them riding the carts though.Scudley - 18-10-2011 at 07:37 AM
You would not believe how steep these streets are. They are doing 40mph.

You could just watch the first 3-4 min., it was enough to give me the puckers! Must be a bummer to crash with a cart full of "cash"!indigo_wolf - 18-10-2011 at 07:41 AM

The video is well done. I watched it a while ago off of the NFB site.snowspider - 18-10-2011 at 10:02 AM
Another example of how truth is so much more interesting than fiction.airin - 18-10-2011 at 10:25 AM

That was an interesting video. I went in with a mind to laugh at them, but instead it was a very thought provoking film.
How about doing that in a kite buggy!Scudley - 1-11-2011 at 06:31 AM

I have clocked 95km/hr riding my mountain bike down one of the hills in the film. Few of those streets have a runout before crossing busy streets, so
no kite buggy for me.
