i dont know the name but its the round things that you run beside to get spinning really fast and then jump on it. it was up to your pure strength to hang out and if your grip slipped you would go flying off and catch one of the handles on the way out..

as always youtube has what i am talking about, always wanted to wrap a rope around one a few dozen times and have a truck take off to get it spinning..

Seems like a really dangerous idea.

I LIKE IT!
