3:03 is that the guy from last week's Friday Fails? He finally made that drop? Third time is the charm.

@brianpark: rough when the algorithm os censoring you from your own article. I hope this story goes the direction of the, infamous Summit Sport of Whistler - Coastal Culture Sports, tale.

@ssteve: The only reason people aren't going to bike, walk or scoot over 8 or 10km is simply laziness. You do touch on the point of less able bodied people using e-bikes but I don't agree that elderly people always fit into the same category simply for their age. However I do totally agree that when an electric assist bike is used by someone who is more than able to pedal themselves under their own power, then it oftenow brings unnecessary speed and an increased element of danger for anyone involved. My point is that electric assist or in this particular scooter case, electronically powered, has a purpose in helping those who have the ability to control a human powered vehicle but not the physical capabilities. And for that I am all for it. We all know the case of Paul Basagoitia and thanks to electronic assist he can again enjoy mountain biking. Another thought I will mention is Scotty Cranmer who last i saw was not riding an e-bmx. He is a quadriplegic who has managed to get back to being on his bike but the flat areas he rides have no need for an electric motor. For the average Joe who has no debilitating injury or physical condition then the only purpose of electronic assist is to get a greater return from less effort. And this is what the world has turned to in so many aspects.

@ssteve: Definitely not asking for an edit. Was more like, I couldn't believe my eyes and wanted some clarification that someone else had seen it too. While I see a purpose for an e-mtb, but do not think that it is everyday use for an able bodied person, I cannot fathom a reason for such an invention as an e-scooter. Surely anybody who is in need of being propelled electrically on a scooter is safer being on a regular self propelled one instead. #notinfavorofthelazygeneration

E-scooter?

I honestly don't know much about Kate Weatherly. I haven't had the interest to read very much into thee situation. However after reading those IOC regulations I am interested to know whether in this case their testosterone levels have been continuously tested and have been sustained below the maximum level for long enough to offset any maturity brought about by age and physical development prior in life as per the regulations' stated 'case by case' clause.
