You’ve never used one of these at the playground as a kid? It’s just a variation of these but with a handle to power it instead of feet.

They're awesome! You can easily get them so fast that the centrifugal force pressing you towards the poles in your back starts to hurt your flesh, and you wish you were alone on it so you could stop this madness. huuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
