The downhill antics seemed fairly safe and totally fun, but just recently there's been a tragic accident. Reportedly, during a race, one of the soapboxes lost control and ran into a parked Lexus, killing the racer. The future of the SFVISBF is in limbo. [CBS2 KCAL]

There'll be thrills, spills, and possibly arrests galore when those gravitational hoons hit the hills. – Murilee Martin
