FUNDRAISER: PEDALBUMP--Pedal powered bumper car arena

[kevincirqueberzerk]

Hi!

We're planning to bring out a pretty spectacular interactive attraction this year:

PEDALBUMP.

What's more fun than bumper cars at an amusement park?
Pedal powered bumper cars--aka Pedalbumps for everyone at 2013 Burning Man!

Our crack team of fungi-neers are ready to design and construct a fleet of six stylized, pimped out, bumper cars for races at our esplanade arena. Of course this kind of thing takes resources... so we need your help!

PLEASE DONATE!

All of the details are at http://www.pedalbump.com

By donating to our research, design and construction project you will be part of a first time, interactive project of this nature: Never before has there been a bumper car installation on the Playa (that we know of...) Sanctioned, safe (?) CRASHING, BUMPING, SMASHING, THRASHING and many other 'ings! PEDAL to the METAL!

The funds will cover the cost of the six "public" bumper cars which includes the base pedal carts, the constructed bumpers and an original design to make each car unique. This fleet will reside at our installation for open hours of hosted hilarity for all to enjoy (first come first serve...)
Beyond the six ready made cars, we will offer the open source instructions for you DIY maniacs who wish to build your own personal car to decorate to your heart's desire. Note: Your personally built cars will be welcomed to our installation during public race times provided they meet the bumper requirements set forth in the easy to follow design. Our arena will be a 60‘x90’ circus tent with a wooden plywood track...you may know the tent as the Cirque Berzerk tent from years past. It will reside at Red Nose District (which also houses Enheightened Beings of Leisure and the Klownge)

We will also be holding a fundraiser in April in Los Angeles, and we can use help with that too... and of course in building the cars, decorating them, etc. If anyone is interested, contact [email protected]... or you can reach us through our website:

Shit I receive enough collisions just pedaling out onto the playa from all the darktards on Friday.

They might have been aiming for you?

Better make that "... almost everyone".

i hear they are making one with a lift gate

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, but you try seeing where you're going while you're head down in the car, peddling like mad with your hands...

Plus, they smell.

If you could only make them burst into flames on impact and explode... the ultimate playa ride.

Stick a chasecam on a few for videos.

You could trick your ride and become the Queen of Pedalbumps.
