Re: Physics debate
I've been thinking about changing my user name to "Low G Al", but it doesn't have the same ring to it.

Re: Physics debate
One more point.
If you had presented yourself on the forum as many new members do, here to gain knowledge, maybe start sharing you experiences, that would be one thing.
However, you can in full tilt. Coming off as very knowledgeable and at a peer level to some of the most experienced uses here, whom you argued with post after post.
Based on that, I think it’s fair to hold you to a higher standard, which I don’t think you are rising to. I say that without malice — that just my frank opinion.
God, I hope this is my last post on this, unless it would be to acknowledge an honest direct simple response from @GrimSurfer.

Re: Physics debate
We dreamed of riding waves of air, water, snow, and energy for centuries. When the conditions were right, the things we needed to achieve this came into being. Every idea man has ever had up to that point about time and space were changed. And it keeps on changing whenever we dream. Bio mechanical jazz, man.

Re: Physics debate
@Stephen You really are a kind and gentle guy. I admire those qualities. I am allowed to admire those qualities while acknowledging sometimes I loose my patience.

We are wrapping up a marathon post here, and I still have no clear signal from you on this except to not acknowledge you misunderstood the scope of the conversation, which was about Xplore vs. 75mm+cable
When someone digs a 20 meter (pages) deep hole, I wouldn't expect them to get out without a helping hand..

Re: Physics debate
You got that right brother, low angle doesn't necessarily mean slow angle. The jeans start flappin around 20mph and the hat blows off at 25.
I like to ski without adding any speed scrubbing elements to my turns. Depending on the snow and terrain that can be up to 25 degrees, or more in deep powder.
