Got a L.L. Scooter 3 weeks ago. I've been on the New River Gorge with it at 4 ft. and 5 ft. and on the Ocoee 3 days last weekend and it is sweeeet! What's surprising is that at 180 lbs. I'm 10 lbs. over the max. rating. I'm definately in the "play range." It can be a little spanky but that's half the fun! Two thumbs up!
