Elbows up!

Okay, so I'm walking along today pushing my shopping cart and I noticed my arms were getting tired. (I was there a long time) Then I noticed I had my elbows up like I was riding my bike! I actually got a little embarrassed thinking about how I must have looked walking down the isles. When I got to the car I started to laugh.
So my question is, how many of you drive your shopping carts with your elbows up?

It is more like demolition derby than motocross.

i think the answer to your problem is you're pushing the wrong shopping cart. have you tried ours out lately? no pushing required...just clicking. sorry couldn't resist.
i think it would be pretty fun to have shopping carts with bars and grips in some of these powersport mega malls.

It's the leaning for the make believe berms at the end of the aisle that give you away.

Nope can't say I do... but what I can say about shopping carts.....
1. I still ride shopping cart wheelies through the parking lot and ride them like skateboards.
2. A shopping cart pushed into a curb by a jeep at about 50 MPH flies a long way. Two shopping carts pushed by a jeep at 60MPH fly even farther. The bigger the curb the more height.
3. I always get the shopping cart that doesnt drive straight.. (See #2, it's called Karma).

Do that at night...The sparks generated are great!

Well I grew up in the age of plastic, so the corners are all protected, not many sparks.
