Well as some of you know I've just taken up the mad sport of Lawnmower Racing!

They are ordinary petrol lawnmowers which have had small modifications done to them so they can race basically!

Just thought you'd be interested in seeing some pics. So much fun!!!

Here's some pics:

If he looked like that going round a corner on 4 wheels, what face will he have been puling when he was on 2! :(

*cue life flashing before eyes*

This reminded my of my days racing shopping trolleys down hills, way way before Jackass came along and stole my ideas! :lol:
Does anyone have any ideas how i could upload VHS onto here so you can all laugh at me?

Hey Mole, you might even enjoy it...there's some ready made obstacles too...

..a slide - with enough power you could do a jump over the conifer, there's a swing, plenty of footballs..and me hidin place - me shed.

If I stick next doors petrol motor to me flymo, add a skirt I could do some hovercraft - race ya :D

I've had enough of jumping, after the Cross Country. With no suspension, it tends to hurt a tad when you land!

But hovercraft sounds like a laugh :lol:
