OT Propelled inline skating
My push stick requires even more skill than ordinary street
skating (which is a bear to learn), but detached motorized skating is fun. This version relies on leverage instead of static weight for wheel traction. It resembles a Roller Cycle but it is electric, not nearly as powerful, and it weighs only 6 pounds. It is carried when not in use instead of always towed. Attaching a motor directly to a skate removes more fun than it adds. I got some help with the design here in this group (and others). I ended up not using a unicycle wheel, but that is still possible for another design. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210 N04/ (without the sign) Good luck and have fun. -- I am no spring chicken, but I still street skate with lots of protective gear including a helmet of course. I fell while skating downhill today without losing a beat, thanks to the gear. |

Isn't that a little like accidentally getting some Loctite in your mouth and then cleaning it out with Marmite? More like dilute hydrochloric acid followed by a really, really, really good fruit brandy. If you say so. I'm more reminded of something fermented until fully stabilized, but also until it has no remaining appeal to a well- exposed palate. "Everyone loves J.S. Bach except cretins and those with undeveloped or improperly developed minds." - Tom Sherman Procol Harum did their best to redeem it, but I personally don't believe it was worth their time. Most human ears have moved on. At least they grooved on it. Music has moved at least as far beyond J.S. Bach as J.S. Bach had moved beyond monophonic Dark Ages tunes. It's very hard to make a case for pre-blue, pre-swing, pre-syncopation, pre-groove sounds now that we have been programmed with the good stuff. Listening to what passed for dance music in Western culture before the 20th century, it's baffling that anyone could dance to it. But music is a living thing, and after it has died, even the most skillful taxidermist can't give back what once was there. I admit to being somewhat spoiled by living in a highly musical clique, within a highly musical subculture, within a city whose musical charms are unparalleled. I don't doubt that there could be some provincial places within the country that are, musically speaking, three hundred years behind my corner of Austin. But actual three hundred year old music is still dead, even in those places. Here's my own band-- one small example of music that is very much alive and kicking today, no taxidermy required: http://blip.tv/file/4910969 As you might notice, it doesn't even fit into a recording device. For the full effect, it must be taken straight and undiluted directly from the source. Chalo |
