Skinner Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 How fast have you gone in/on a non motorized vehicle (bicycle, glider what have you). I'll start top speed of 50 mph on a down hill run on a mountain bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 How about a vehicle that had a motor, but it let lose and you had to coast to a stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash1647545504 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 How about a vehicle that had a motor, but it let lose and you had to coast to a stop? I would think no, because the motor got you to that speed you coast from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash1647545504 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I've also hit some fast ass speeds on my snowboard on some of the black dimonds in Colorado. I couln't tell you a speed, but it was haulin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started at the top of the MadRiver hill and went straight down with no carving or turning...so however fast that is. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 65mph down hill on a bike, and I'm not sure I want to do that again. How about a vehicle that had a motor, but it let lose and you had to coast to a stop? oh, well in that case, about 140 mph, and it was the transmission.

You are in for a reality check when you get out there with us... and you will love it. Some of the bunny hills are steeper than the black dimonds at mad river. Have you and Jesse aranged anything yet? Time is running out for good deals on passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start top speed of 50 mph on a down hill run on a mountain bike. Aprox 50MPH downhill on a 20inch bike as a kid I broke my speedo and generator light on the bastard and plowed in to a rose bush.

Trouble Maker Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Have you and Jesse aranged anything yet? Time is running out for good deals on passes. I've been so damn busy. Marc, PM me your number or call me sometime. My phone died so I don't have your # anymore. I don't know how fast on skis but pretty fast. Obviously nothing like out West but Ben saw me bomb some hills at Holiday Valley and I've gone that fast at other places too... maybe 40. That will change this winter though. I'm pretty sure the fastest I've ever gone at MRM was ~25. Just by the seat of the panths feel. That hill is really small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash1647545504 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yea man, you were fuckin haulin at holliday vally, The one run "The Wall" was a rediculous wall of ice. You guys shouldn't really have much to decide on accept a date haha. You have a place to stay, juts let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I've done 55mph on a 12hp craftsman lawnmower before. My cousin and I got the bright idea get it from his house to my house, 4 miles away, by hooking a ski rope to the back of his truck, and me holding on to the end of the rope and steering with one hand. Let me tell you, that narrow wheelbase is rediculously twitchy at high speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 please tell me you have video of that. Negative. Neither of us owned a video camera at the time, and neither of us had a free hand to use either. Wish I had it on tape though. People were giving us the dumbest looks when passing them.

Rotarded1647545491 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 63mph downhill (Apple Valley, Ohio) on a race bicycle with 3/4 inch wide tires. I will never do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Salomon 100cm snow blades You talk about how your a 1337 skiier and you use thoes things? Yet another reason you are a gigantic douche bag. I fucking HATE ski skates. Yea man, you were fuckin haulin at holliday vally, The one run "The Wall" was a rediculous wall of ice. You guys shouldn't really have much to decide on accept a date haha. You have a place to stay, juts let me know. I called him yesterday and he hasn't called me back. Boh, Marc, call me back. Me carving so hard my inside hand is touching the solid sheet of ice at 30+mph>>anyone here on skis, including above said faggot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 How would I determine a bicycle speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted September 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 How would I determine a bicycle speed? here use this formula... tan(x y) = (tan x tan y) / (1 tan x tan y) sin(2x) = 2 sin x cos x cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) = 2 cos^2(x) - 1 = 1 - 2 sin^2(x) tan(2x) = 2 tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)) sin^2(x) = 1/2 - 1/2 cos(2x) cos^2(x) = 1/2 + 1/2 cos(2x) sin x - sin y = 2 sin( (x - y)/2 ) cos( (x + y)/2 ) cos x - cos y = -2 sin( (x - y)/2 ) sin( (x + y)/2 ) (a - b)/(a + b) = tan [(A-B)/2] / tan [(A+B)/2] Select function f(x) to expand into a summation f(x) = ? Select term an in summation to simplify: an = ? Exponential / Logarithm Functions f(x) = e; e-1; e x f(x) = ln(x) Root Functions f(x) = (x); 1/(x) Geometric Series an = r n Power Series an = n; n 2; n 3; ... an = 1/n; 1/n 2; 1/n 3; 1/n 4; 1/n 5; 1/n 6; 1/n 7; 1/n 8; 1/n 9; 1/n 10; 1/n p x a x b = x (a + b) x a y a = (xy) a (x a) b = x (ab) x (a/b) = bth root of (x a) = ( bth (x) ) a x (-a) = 1 / x a x (a - b) = x a / x b y = logb(x) if and only if x=b y logb(1) = 0 logb(b) = 1 logb(x*y) = logb(x) + logb(y) logb(x/y) = logb(x) - logb(y) logb(x n) = n logb(x) logb(x) = logb© * logc(x) = logc(x) / logc(b) using theses formulas will get you your speed or use a smiple odometer if you dont/didnt have one there is no real way to tell.
