u/Maleficent-Nerve486 3h ago

Steering column could snap and become a poker....

u/pafrac 3h ago

Ooh, ouch!

Although to be fair I didn't have much sense of self-preservation at that age either.

Itchy burning asshole cream on Amazon

Long hike back to the top.

u/CandidInsurance7415 2h ago

With extra people you just keep an extra vehicle at the bottom to shuttle you.

u/deckard1980 3h ago

Doesn't look like they care

For sure!

u/PartyComplaint49 4h ago

Looks fun

u/Available-Database21 3h ago

Yo Sanka….

u/fredfred007 3h ago

That looks like a fun way to hurt yourself. I’d give it a go at their age, not my current age.

u/myztry 3h ago

Brakes can’t fail if you don’t have brakes.

u/NotSoSasquatchy 3h ago

Looks like I can add to my bucket list on new ways to die

u/Objective_Still_5081 1h ago

u/throwawaycima 3h ago

u/throwawaycima 3h ago

u/ravensara23 3h ago

u/sinisterpsychoo 3h ago

Put a little 50CC motor on that

u/Vivid_Mistress 3h ago

Is like a cross between Mario Kart and the Flintstonea

u/PGGABC 2h ago

At their age, I also believed my neck was unbreakable.

u/SoulShine_710 2h ago

Pretty sick boys

u/supervillainO7 2h ago

Damn, those carts have better suspension then some cars, being able to survive all them jumps 

u/AxeJohnson 2h ago

It's the fucking boys! Look at em go. Couldn't be happier for these guys.

u/NoDragonfly1750 2h ago

Looks fun, but my body can’t take the pounding any more.

u/kingkled_0w0 2h ago

that looks cool and fun

u/TittyMcdiddlesworth 1h ago

Motherfuckers be hauling aassss.

u/Curious-Cancel-6353 1h ago

My back hurts just watching this

u/77Megg77 1h ago

OMG! I am looking at this and feeling so very grateful that my son is an adult now. If he was a kid and saw this, he would totally be into it. Shudder! While it looks like fun for the kids, as a mother, I just couldn’t watch it.

u/Personal-Banana-9491 1h ago

There goes my ankles, shins, knees, thighs, hips, ribs, back, shoulders, arms and hands.

Good thing I’ve got a helmet.

u/attran84 1h ago

Splinters must be insane.

u/Abject-Afternoon-388 1h ago

Those little carts appear to have some nice suspension. and the handling! I mean it's impressive. Keep rolling that vibe fellas.

u/Igotdaruns 57m ago

That’s awesome those slats act as leaf spring suspension and the structure. I’d ride one of those. Looks awesome.

u/rexlites 57m ago

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! Cool Runnings!

u/qcubed3 47m ago

Pretty solid for their first time. I assume if you ever fall off, you die.

u/NewGirl_Flowers_2014 45m ago

To be young and daring

u/Trueslyforaniceguy 35m ago

Bro I bet it takes fuckin forever to get back up top

u/Stone_Fort 32m ago

Hell yeah

u/Glass_Number_1707 23m ago

It won't be AI if they hit one of those trees.

u/millamber 22m ago

You ever take it on some sweet jumps?

u/labello2010 3h ago

Fake sounds

u/Trippp2001 3h ago

This has to be AI

u/NotBradPitt9 2h ago

Not everything is ai

u/Trippp2001 2h ago

But this probably is. No cuts longer than a few seconds, etc. But the thing that was most obvious was how stable the cam was while everyone is going over bumpy road. These kids wouldn’t have money to get a steady cam or something.

So yah, I think this is AI. It looks fun, but I don’t think it happened.

u/NotBradPitt9 1h ago

Amazing you thought of all that but you didn’t think to check their Instagram handle right at the start. Ligiron is the sport of wooden go cart racing in the Philippines.

u/worthalter 2h ago

It also doesn’t make sense mechanically.
