Every season, we talk about technique for crossing obstacles and every year I get to listen to some rube explain how pointless this exercise is. I bet this Mexican Presidential guard wishes he'd practiced. This is just one more demonstration of the inadequacies of cruiser design.

- Mark Twain I check the comments on this blog regularly. The idea is that we're going to have a conversation about the ideas I've presented. You should be aware of the fact that when someone emails me an interesting comment, the odds are good that I'll post that in the comments anonymously and reply to that comment on the blog rather than in email.

Severely inadequate rear suspension. The front absorbed it fairly well. The 2" of rear travel had no chance though. I doubt perfect technique could have saved him at that speed. I laughed when the sixth officer nearly lost it crossing the same speed bump.
ReplyDeleteSuspension and technique will buy you a lot of leeway on a speed bump. This guy didn't have either going for him.
