It was a most solemn and sacred day, and for some in San Francisco that meant one thing - time to don a bunny suit and race down Potrero Hill on a Big Wheel.

"It's total chaos - everyone's screaming and laughing, people are spinning out, going down backward," said Alon Zaslavsky, a movie animator from San Francisco, just after he tried the course for the first time Sunday afternoon. "It's great. The whole point is to crash."
