The hovery thing.

Griff · 06-13-2017, 08:49 PM

Oh and I did a pedal strike endo tonight. I hadn't done that in years. Down stroke on a hidden stump and bam, ass over tea cup. No harm no foul.

Damn. Is that kid's head attached to his body, or is it floating along on a drone or something?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-12-2017, 10:11 PM

Unique for sure, but just a novelty I think?

He's got the GoPro mounted to his helmet. It has image stabilization, I think.

Not so gentle reminder? lol

Woods to Griff, we're still here.

Griff · 06-14-2017, 06:05 AM

Absolutely.

Kids are supposed to learn to ride younger and better with this contraption.

Very cool!

A smaller bike I see. Easier to hop higher I reckon. Why pedal backwards while riding backwards, I wonder. It looks like a freewheel hub, right?

I think the back-pedal is just a mental trick for balance. From the look of my body today, I may need to be more subtle like that.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-26-2017, 10:17 AM

Wait, if the backpedal is for balance, what's propelling him backwards? Momentum?

Griff · 06-26-2017, 06:11 PM

I'd have to look closely but you can pump a bike without engaging the drive train. It's a bmx thing where you amplify the momentum with downward pressure. This is way outside my knowledge base but pump tracks are a thing. I assume you (if your name is Danny McCaskill) can do this backwards as well as forwards.

Thanks, it just seemed counterintuitive, but obviously there's a whole set of physics I know nothing about at work here.
