I've only seen 1 Atom in person. It sits much lower than it seems from any pictures/video. Surprised it doesn't have paddle shifters.

The Slingshot seems to also be fun, but at an actually affordable price (half the price of a T-Rex even). I'm not sure if it requires a motorcycle license though, since it's titled as such.

Cats like to do things because it feels right to them. If it feels right, do this. No approval system, or votes, or craps given about observers. Just do whatever, uh, 'thing'.. and do it with conviction.

I mean, do you even know the utter joy of sticking your entire head AND an arm into a sandal, starring out like a damn cute pirate, and paddling around with your soft, plump and fluffy body like a surfboard on carpet?

So, the One:1 is an automatic? But it has paddle shifters. Darn confusing hyper-cars!

It looked like it had paddle shifters, but he wasn't using them. Is it also an automatic?

At one point he was adjusting something on the center pad of the steering wheel. I wonder what that was.

Oh...I hadn't thought of that. Maybe so.
I drive a 45 year old Bronco, no flappy paddles there, so it didn't cross my mind.
One more reason to stick with old school tech! ;-)

Aren't most sports cars these days flappy paddles (i.e. no clutch)?

I used to do just this all the time as a kid. My friends and I would throw my inflatable raft into the pool and we'd battle it out, (or rather: 'paddle it out'? har!) tug of war style.

Of all the activities I've tried, surfing is the one that just breaks me. I suck at it so much. I would love to be able to surf well, but I don't have the time to dedicate to it.

For me, the worst part of that is not the washing machine. Being mashed and held down is unpleasant, but I'm comfortable enough underwater that it doesn't really bother me.

But it's just so disheartening.

You expend all this energy paddling, and then you get thrown back again and again, and just when you think there's a gap... boom... rogue wave knocks you back again!

Then you finally get out the back and two things will happen:
first the sweetest wave ever comes through just as you're catching your breath and you either skip it from exhaustion or fail to catch it

and then.... nothing for ages. The epic swell that was pounding the crap out of you? Nowhere to be seen and the ocean is flat as.

damn ocean hates me

The point this guy is at is where I start paddling for the shore.

No, I would say you aren't wrong for normal operation, but carvers often sacrifice safety for tool functionality. Notice she still has the anti-kickback 'paddle' on the saw. It stops the chain 'instantly' (almost) if it's kicked back past your wrist's ability to bend. you'll still get a nasty cut, but won't cut your arm/head off.
Most chain saw carvers I've seen (lots around here, and on TV shows, especially ice carvers) actually remove that safety feature for better maneuverability on their small saws, it's nice to see one be relatively safe.

I'm guessing there was a reason behind him doing this(other then its somehow cool to switch boards). Seems to me(someone correct me if im wrong) that it's much easier to paddle into a big wave like this on a long board and much better to ride the wave with a short more maneuverable faster board.

Oh, who cares what the fuck you think...
Totally wanna slap Tatty-Cathy =Paddle that bottom and tug on that hair, WOOOOOF! RooooF! RAwwwwfffmph! (pants, wags tail, licks heels)

welll that was a crappy song choice but now I want to paddle down a waterfall!

Wow, snapped that paddle good.
