Lets face it bricks or wood if you hit them fast enough theres nothing in it, You only have to ask a water skier what a high speed wipeout feels like ;D I have to say Darren, as an ex short board windsurfer adept in force 7 and trembling but willing in force 8, I know which one I would stuffing well prefer to hit every time, and it aint anything except girl thingy water, at 2 knots or 35 knots (please note that girl thingy is replacing a word which is perfectly acceptable in this context - there's computers for you, thick as 2 planks - god help us with the next generation of ESCs with integral GPS "you are taking a risk therefore I am reducing revs to 5,000" - jeez I hope Sedgie is not behind me ;D) |
