Any more of a bad idea than what we all already do? Tandem riding is super fun. Why not go down hill? It's not like you could flip that thing end over end. Sure, there are stunts and rocks and logs that would be very difficult, but it doesn't mean that it's a bad idea does it? If I had some extra cash, I'd have a tandem. Maybe even a full suspension rig.
