knock on wood that the jump survives the next rider.
i think this guy is a genius with his idea. we spend thousands of dollars on suspension when on a trail so much is down to tire pressure 10 psi can make a world of difference between a sliding and gripping. although the technology is way out at the current point in time. if i just let my imagination go with it..... potentially you could mount the co2 canisters in a cylindrical case that surounds the hub. or instead of co2 it could even just be high pressure air that you fill at home with your track pump. a small tube runs from the hub to the tire. the release of air is controlled electrically from the handlebars. the weight would be rather minimal and the center of gravity would be low. they have electronic brakes now Im sure what i speak of is possible.
in the future dh guys could program their tire pressures in advance according to what point in time they reach bits on the track. just imagine what a difference it would have made on a track like south Africa. if you want to neg prop me got ahead but just because it seems pointless right now doesn't mean it always will be !
