Although especially the MSX takes jumps very gracefully, my heart hurts a bit afterwards... I don’t think I’ll start rehearsing jumps. I hear you mrelwood, ever since the Gotway pedal issues I have been extra careful not to load the pedals too much and constantly inspect them for any visible fracture lines and even do it under magnification, ok not down to the μm level needed to catch any potential fracture line cause that would be problematic for several reasons not to mention they are there anyways to be spotted even in healthy pedals, so how to separate when will become a deeper crack and those that will not? My knowledge in metallurgy is not enough for that anyways so I probably miss them., but at least I do the inspections nowadays even on the MSX not equipped with same pedals, usually a company like this follow a specific design language and do not redesign a pedal completely from the ground up even if they may look a bit different on the surface but I admit in this case I am only speculating so...? Indeed it does even with my weight on it, gosh I love that high tire wall so much, what a differentiator it was to go with that specific tire for this new Msuper, all aspects of it + softness of the rubber too it all comes together as package for this wheel. Recently my right foot had a complete lift off and my left a slight slippage under a high speed long sweeping left turn, can only estimate but likely a bit north of 30km/h I for sure did carry some speed, then hit a small bump but big enough to almost send me on my first proper MSX flight. I truly had to find and put some effort into this one to save the situation and like you describe, yes absolutely my heart after this one hahaha. I am sure it must have looked quite funny to onlookers but believe me was not fun for me and the Adrenaline, neurotransmitter hormones sure do flow a bit afterwards.. Sorry forgot, anyone in need of some night lecture, just interested: http://web.mit.edu/course/3/3.11/www/modules/frac.pdf Edited September 8, 2018 by Electroman 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, appreciate this! Especially since this man ride very much like I do see many detail where we are alike apart from speed itself, yes this will be fun will glue my eyes to his ride videos in the coming days. The big differentiator like you point out for sure is his weight, there is if only or at very least mostly drawbacks of carrying more weight imho. Chooch, chooch...

Popular Post Bob Eisenman Posted September 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Rafe's Chasm park is more of an EUC ride destination (just south of Gloucester) than an EUC ride video. The path from the parking lot to the Chasm overlook isn't really rideable. Rafe's Chasm is (I think) the large split in the rock seen in the upper right in the first minute of the video and in the upper central part of the video at 01:07. The drone flight starts like this: The landing went like this: Edited September 11, 2018 by Bob Eisenman 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rehab1 Posted September 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2018 My son Matt honored me with a birthday gift a few months before he died. Low on money he somehow found a copy of an old Rare Earth song 'City Life' that I really like and then recorded it on a CD for me to listen to in my truck. Best gift ever! Every time I play it I think of him. Matt went riding with me today with this song in my head so I decided to make a video. Love you always buddy! 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bob Eisenman Posted September 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2018 17 minutes ago, Rehab1 said: My son Matt Hey Rehab1...I remember reading somewhere that your son died. I can sort of empathize with a lesser sense of loss near the end of a short marriage to my ex. It was the beginning of summer, end of a school year of teaching before the start of summer employment and an uncertain employment future for the upcoming school year. My ex sat down and explained to me that she had seen a doctor about a benign cancer condition called a fibroma. Later in life I would learn that the condition is very common for women somewhat older. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiomyoma A consult with my doctor for a pre-employment physical exam at that time led to a conversation about it. He explained that generally a hysterectomy is done. That was it..no family plans for me....not that we were planning on having kids. But there was a kind of sense of loss. She, an adopted kid with native Indian ancestry had better plans for herself, went back to school and got her master's degree. Given what it takes monetarily to raise a family I suppose I'm lucky in a way. Many decades have gone by since then. Nice video....don't fall... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s looking so much better than the somewhat conservative original. If I would ever need a mudguard in the upcoming autumn winter season, it will be your design... IF ..

These young kids learn so much faster than we old folk do hehehe, just life I suppose? 3 young girls (maybe around 13-14) dropped their jaws when seeing my wheel go past some weeks ago and one shouted, "cool can I try" I was on my old ACM so I figured hey, I am in no hurry why not , maybe it will make her day or something so I explained and she jumped up holding her friends shoulder, ok I helped her to stand first then let go and her friend followed her but I was chocked, that kid could ride the wheel just like that? That is she could ride without falling on first go, at least straight forward at some slow pace but still, was quite the sight. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times where a a summer brake in school felt like an eternity, today the weeks fly by or so it seams, or maybe it's just my memory cause that sure as heck is not as good as it used to be haha.

Yes, it's been a while since I felt invincible when nothing else mattered. My big concern is living long enough to see my kid through college! That not only means not crashing but taking the cholesterol and high blood pressure meds! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I've ridden the MSX enough to think it wouldn't do much better than the Monster (which I've ridden here). What people don't realize is that the profile of the Z10 tire is a bit flatter than most other EUC tires. Although the MSX tire is huge, not as much of it touches the ground as you'd think, unless you run it with low pressure (I don't). The Monster tire has a more flatter profile like the Z10. The Z10, with the 4.1-inch tire, really is in a class by itself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch his earlier ACM and MSuper videos, you'll see that he likes to jump his wheels like this, a lot. He's very good at it too. His much lighter weight really helps in the jumping department and also reduces the wear-and-tear that this can cause on the motor. He's fun to watch for sure.
