There's nothing wrong with saying someone with experience reached a particular conclusion. It's not like pulling it out as a hole card to play on an argument I already was committed to (when, in fact, up until then I was in agreement with you and Nerd). If to you that's the collapse of free thought and honest discourse, fine. I don't have anything vested in this discussion but the relationships , and that vesting is as thin as the good will returned to me.

I get this out of it, in layman's terms:
Suspension trys to absorb bumps, and a jump is a bump, technically. When a bike hits a jump at speed, the suspension absorbs some of that bump (jump) and the bike leaves the lip of the jump at a shallower angle than the actual jump face. By mashing the bike into the face of the jump, you are giving the suspension less travel so that it absorbs less of the jump and gets the trajectory steeper at takeoff (which is closer to the actual angle of the jump face) ?
edit: Which is also why you need heavy doses of throttle on the jump face while seat bouncing, to keep you from getting kicked forward and possibly endoing...and why you need a smooth face on the jump, the g-forces involved in a pothole kicker on the face of a jump increase dramatically...
It works without suspension too. The suspension is getting people off track. Note that in previous pages people mentioned that it also works for wake boarding or BMX where you use your legs both for suspension and for moving your CG.
Back when we were doing mini bike nationals, about 2004, we are at Binghamton racing after Saturday practice, and I'm on a DRZ110. I'm like 300 fucking lb back then, and the bike has no power. There is a steep tabletop that is pretty high, but if I stand or sit still and hit it pinned, the landing sux. Seat bounce fussing is going on all the time, and I think, ah do the opposite. I pin it toward the jump sitting and a bit too fast and just at the face, I stand up. No need to hit the brakes, the bikes momentum is killed by my huge ass standing up just as the bike starts to climb, so I get over the jump with still good momentum and not too much air. Grant Langston is standing right there and he comes over after I got fucking last and goes "nice style!"
True story..
It's AT the speed of light that this ceases to be true, theoretically.
Nice revisionist history. You never mentioned time until it was brought to your attention by jtomansik.
smeg, out
But YOU were saying that the SPEED OF LIGHT IS RELATIVE, which it is not. Space and time are, but the speed of light is a constant.
Is the speed of light constant at or near the event horizon of a black hole?
Stop for a second and think about the effect of time slowing down given how speed is measured....

With your reasoning, the light would only go forward from you at the differential of 1 mile per second.
Not true, ergo, you are wrong.
Since nobody can go (at least with our current physics model) the speed of light...you can never get that last .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 % of speed to get there.
And NOBODY knows what would happen AT the speed of light, because WE CAN"T DO IT.
It would move away at that speed, but time for you would be so slow that it would APPEAR to be normal.
Like I said, quote me directly.

It's like the very common limit used in the creation of differentiation in Calculus. Take the value 1/x. Now, take the limit as x approaches zero. X never reaches zero, because if it does, the result is infinity, which is undefined. You can continually make smaller and smaller numbers for x, and the result of the function is a larger and larger value, but x never can be zero. It's the same with the speed of light. You can go faster and faster and faster, your clock to the outside world of your progress gets slower and slower and slower, and all the while your observation of light is that light remains going light speed. If you could ever reach light speed, your clock to the outside world would stop, and the event of your observation can't occur.
Fuck, you are a stubborn, back-pedaling dipshit. You always have been. Just man-up when you're WRONG.
Was the duel fought over a matter of honor, always a sensitive matter in the Old South, or a slight to a young woman’s reputation? No, nothing so mundane. This deadly confrontation resulted from one man’s fiery insistence that three spoons of sugar instead of two was the correct measurement for the perfect mint julep.
*call me crazy if you want but it wasn't me that argued for 11 pages over nothing.
If I seat bounce on a woods bike with a headlight at the speed of light how does the spring rate affect the ability to hear my motor in the dark?
