Check out this video of these daredevils on three wheels. These New Zealand youths have combined the tricycle with "drifting" and come up with what look like a lot of fun.
The trike's rear wheels are modified with large PVC pipes like sled-runners and the peddles removed.
To get launched, the riders hold a long rope or strap and are towed down a hill by a car before releasing their grips and sending them on their way. That's when the extreme sport action starts.
Dodging oncoming traffic without helmets or even shoes is part of the risk as these maniacs careen down the asphalt spinning around and racing each other.
The VIDEO has gotten nearly 3 million hits on YouTube in less than one week..
I'm sure you'll see trike drifting as an X-Games sport soon.
I hope these people would know what the risks of they doing. This poor child, I hope she is okay.
