Where's that spring-loaded running shoes post?

July 26, 2001 11:36 AM

Am I just stupid? Neither the MeFi Search nor Google's site-specific search are yielding the thread on the russian spring-loaded running shoes that help you go thirty miles an hour.

Did I just imagine that they exist? Or can someone else find that thread?

The thread is here, Anil. Though it seems that the original link is croaked.

Google coughed up this link to Powerskip, though.

keep an eye out for the "Junkyard Wars" walking-machines episode as well. It had a clip of a guy with a very similar device.
