I know what you mean XJW
We have a ride on lawn mower and an acre of mowing.
When one of our teenage sons does the lawn, I've looked out the window at them and wondered if they were competing in the Indianapolis(sp?) 500 car race.
On occasion, I've had to holler out the window and wave the yellow flag...
When they are mowing like that I feel it's more of "ripping" the grass off rather than cutting it.
lol
