that is the politically correct part of the Technology Chapter...
I am afraid that next video, about skate/mtb design weaknesses, will be much less consensual
In order to tease a little bit, can someone answer to this quizz :
In what year has the skate truck been invented ?
At this time, what were the "hot" technologies for energy, transportation, communication.. ?
And what were the trendy sports/leisures?Houston AirHead - 18-5-2011 at 07:21 AM
I must say, i got to ride Van's. freaking amazing
i didnt know how it was possible but i was riding through 6 inch loose sand with no problems @ high speeds too.
it feels like you can ride directly up wind702dirtsurfer - 18-5-2011 at 07:53 AM
Without using Google my guess is late 1800's and the popular sport was rollerskating? Popular modes of transportation.....trains,planes,and
automobiles lol couldn't resist.
I'd really like to try one of these. Dirtsurfers have the same feeling of going directly up wind. I've not felt that with a traditional MTB, my guess
is because the boards "naturally" encourage body weight leaning and don't require just a pivot in the ankles like skateboard trucks do. Leaning over
so aggressively allows you to point the wheels upwind. Conversely,leaning that hard on a MTB would actually point you beyond upwind, so much so you'd
turn around or stop.flexboardz - 18-5-2011 at 03:05 PM
yes, Rollerskating trucks in 1863 by James L. Plimpton ..... at the time of steam, telegraph and horse-carts !!
Leisures were limited to sailing, horse races (for few) ..... and rollerskating (which has been hugely successful at the beginning of the XX
century)...
Quite a different time !

People have been sailing wagons on beaches since the time of William of Orange....before you buggiers think only us skate people are using old
