I couldn't believe it when I saw this photo. The thing is, it's probably 100% authentic. I've worked with several Amish families in the past 18 months to lease property for a cell tower, and one had a phone at their business, and another rode mountain bikes to and from work. It's not exactly as you might think from the popular media.

Do they look like Skyway Tuff Wheels to you? They sure do to me. Ed - Have you made any sales within the past year or so to the Yoders, Beachys or Kauffmans?

That Ken Coster is one helluva salesman...

That dude in the picture is setting up for a tailwhip. This should be in the freestyle section. I'll bet it took some stalking to get that photo.

I'd guess 30-50% of the Amish farmhouses out here will have what looks to be an authentic Skyway wheel on their clothes line. The have a nice setup where they can shoot the clothing out and bring it back.

I will snap a picture.

I have one of those clotheslines. Bought it from the local Amish Hardware Store. The mags that they use are not Skyway. They are made by Satelite.

Then I guess they must not be Old School (Order) Amish (joke for the Amish-enabled).

Replace the tall grass with seven story buildings, Honda Odysseys and fur edged hats, would look just like Brooklyn.

Hi Kit
I looked up some old transactions and found one for 4 sets of 16' scooter wheels to that Amish community.
I got 10 chickens and a hen for them.
We have eggs every morning here!

My daughters wheel chair has Skyways on it. You would be surprised where you find them.

I'm sorry that your daughter requires a wheelchair, but a least she has a radically-cool parent.

I saw a three-wheeler in Venice, Florida a couple of years back that had white 24" original T-spoke Skyway mags on it. I kept thinking, I can take this retiree.
