The wheel bearings are not made for that sort of speed, I wonder how hot they got.

Just the other day wheel speeds was learned unto me by my co-worker, We were watching a "portable advertising sign" being towed down the highway and it was sorta bouncing side to side and swaying a bit and my boss goes and clues me into the fact that they are going 100km/h with the truck wheels, but the trailer wheels where little doughnuts maybe eight/ten inch tires , THOSE tires are going twice as fast if not faster than the truck wheels, the bearings are not made for highway use. Never really thought about it before but smaller tires on a trailer work harder than the tires on your towing vehicle.

Portable signs, like boat trailers, tend to sit around for weeks or months at a time. The grease dries out and that's what destroys the bearings. Lack of lubrication. The smaller wheels may rotate faster, but they also aren't carrying as much weight.

If his wheels are well lubricated (I don't think they are, but HE probably is) they would have no more problem than a bicycle at that speed.

fuckin awesome!!!

Heh, it reminds me of Back To The Future with the skateboards.
