Reliving the Flexy Racer

A few months ago I blogged about a sled with wheels I had when I was a kid. It was called a Flexy Racer. I have received a few emails and comments on the Flexy Racer so I thought I would post a link back to that article in case anyone got a Flexy Racer for Christmas.

Actually these days Flexy Racers would be completely outlawed and possibly only seen on some Jack Ass movie or stupid tricks for MTV show. I really don't know how we survived those days. Not sure what a Flexy Racer is? Just click the link below.

And if you did get one for Christmas you might want to consider the gift givers real intentions.

Today I will feature the Indiana Jones Whip. Actually it's the Indiana Jones electronic sound FX whip. Take note it's for ages 6 and up.

What the crap? If I'm going to give my 6 year old kid a whip it's gonna be the real, thing not some flimsy electronic toy that's going to break after whacking the neighbors dog or better yet the neighborhood kids.

After my 6 year old and I watched the trilogy, you know, hearts getting ripped out, faces melting etc... the first thing he said was "I want one of those damn whips Indy was using". 

So parents don't skimp on your youngster for an imitation whip that pretends to snap the bad guys into submission, give them the real deal and don't forget to throw in a revolver as well.
