Wrong again numbnutz. They haven't raced on the public road course since 1976 and they are not going to do it next year either. You don't know anything about motorcycle racing.

Your not gonna stop someone from doing something by putting them down. You have to relate to them and not talk to them like there stupid.

Your not interested in stopping him from doing this, if you were you would of had a different approach. Your more interested in flaming some guy who had idea that wasn't fully developed.

Oh I would, would I? I gave him plenty of good reasons, not that he deserves my respect given that he lied about doing 85mph. And I don't have to give you any respect either since you seem to think that there is some technical advice that will help him achieve his goal. There is not, or at least not on anything resembling a skateboard and run on his local roads.

And I don't have to do dick.

jesus tap dancing christ,someone shut down this thread.Let him decide what to do with his life, stop hissing and spiting all over eachother about some guy wanting to break the 100mph mark by being towed, and go skate.please.this has gotten so out of hand its as pointless as the stunt behind the thread.Neither are going to change anything,make anyone think any differently and both are a huge waste of time an resources.go outside.
That is all.

This thread has inspired me to try this as well, I'll race you to the 100mph mark! First one to get the video up on the 'fish wins!

I'll be riding an OSD with Holeys cos the wheelbase should compensate for the mad speeds it's gonna be sick! I'm gonna get a chase car to follow me behind about 40ft away so we can film it and get this gnar on tape! YYEEAAAHHHH!!!

**BrickCityBombers** · 07-14-2008 06:16 AM

yea I will join in on the race to 100 ill use a vehicle calibrated for these wheels

with the wheels off of this little guy

lol.. this doesnt even get close to the midget rims but you get the idea R is radius you can hit "100" mph going 30.... I should have just done it myself but i can leave it up to you guys to come up with your own 100mph breaking video...

**BrickCityBombers** · 07-14-2008 06:17 AM

Errr.. this was key to the whole post Speedometer Calibration Calculator And Information

Regardless of if this goal is feasible. Putting him down is not going to make him listen to you and stop this stunt. I am not saying he should do it, I'm saying that if he decides to. That he should take quite a few extra measures to insure his safety and the safety of the people around him.

What your doing is not helping anyone here who is trying to bring forth a real argument to try and convince him it's not a good choice. It is just flaming. I would personally ignore what your saying because not once does it try to be helpful. It's just another excuse for you to spew hate.

Not true:

If he gets over 50 and the tow vehicle does not keep accelerating or slows down even slightly the tow line will go slack and he will run over it and slam. If the tow vehicle slows just a bit and then accelerates to keep him from running over the rope then it will jerk him right off the board and he will slam.

Will they be prepared for possible spinal cord injury due to broken or fractured vertebrae in your back or neck? How will they be able to tell about that if you are unconscious? Do they know what to do if you are impaled through the lungs or partially disemboweled by one of those metal signposts?

That is the best advice he has received so far and it is a lot more helpful than your suggestion that he sweep the road!

**Jam** · 07-14-2008 10:36 AM

Chris, I didn't mean you that you didn't know what you are talking about.....cus you do.

But yeah I am leaving this Thursday.

SEE YAH!
