oh i did this with an iceboat as a kid. the speeds you can get up to are insane. i don't know if the wheeled ones have as low friction as the ones on skates but the learner model i tried easily got up to 80-100km/h without me doing anything. one of the coolest things i've ever done.
Ok that’s kinda cool but this land sailing thing looks way more awesome than puttering around on the flat in my SUV. Still wouldn’t want to own one though.

What in the fuck. This whole concept of sailing not in water is brand new to me.
Will you please bless me with some cool videos exposing how that even works?

Right, I’ll just pull over and get my landyacht out of the back of my truck. OP, is there a rental place for these in Primm?

I was trying to figure out how these things worked for a moment, until I realised...

Years ago I ran a short Fallout PnP campaign that had something like this in it. Cool to see it in real life!
