Is that how people normally faint? She seems kind of drunk trying to repeat her last sentence.

This is not normal behaviour at all.
Typically when a female faints she brings the back of her hand to her forehead and collapses in a backwards motion.



Point well taken. That explains my golden retriever (female) doing a back flip into the faint position.

Robin, you hit the nail of the head. Moving the center of mass two foot inboard leverages the load to the tire. However, this can only be achieved if the wheels and the mass are leaned inboard as to balance the forces that be. Although simple in theory the dynamics associated with leaning three and four wheeled vehicles has left many frustrated and broken. In March video will post to www.wesllcorp.com displaying more of the suspensions unique capabilities. I hope you will continue to follow the technology up through the aerial back-flips and onto the show room floor.

Thanks! That was good, except for all the commercial stuff at the end.

3rd attempt? Can we see the previous two?


Here's attempt one:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Thrillbillies-Tricycle-Back-Flip-First-Attempt-20

I think that one goal was a behind the back flip shot.

I leap over lies in a single pound
[who are you?]
The black prophet
One day I got struck by knowledge of self
They gave me super scientifical powers
Now I, run through the ghetto
Battling my arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance
He's been trying to take me out since the days of my youth
He feared this day would come
I'm hot on his trail
But sometimes he slips away because he has an army
They always give me trouble
mainly Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me
They think they got me
But I use my super science and I twist all three
I see sparks over that building
They're shooting at me
I dip, do a back flip
Then hit em in the heart with sharp skilled book marks
Ignorance hates when I drop it
But no matta what he do
He can't stop the prophet.

[Yo prophet, yo prophet, come here real quick
Yo I just saw Ignorance down town
Let me put you on. Word, he down there buggin
He got them illing out, the shooting and everything..]

Let's continue the saga, mad, mad drama
I met this chick, she said she knew where Ignorance was at
I said where, she said downtown
He had babies having babies
And young niggas selling crack
I think the bitch is lying it's a set up
I can smell it, but Ignorance is runnig rampid
Aight baby show me the exact spot
Meet me at quick and skimo on the 3 on the dot
So I hops up on the A train, I'm being followed
My seventh sense senses danger
I turn around, it's Anger and he brought a mobb along
It's the same old song
Despair and Animosity got broke with the swiftness
I don't know what they think this is
I feel a sharp pain in my neck
Now I can't see on my hand
They hit me with the dart filled with the pork chops sim
I tried to hold on but before long I dropped
When I awoke I was locked in the barber's shop
Trapped in the barber's chair
Oh no, they're going to try and cut my hair
But that can't stop the prophet

[Yo prophet,
Ignorance is tired of you following him around
We about to put end in out right now.
Anamosity, Despair
Get him]

[Can't a damn thing stop me]

A few minutes passed by I hear a buzzin noise
It was that chick with some of Ignorances' boys
She said prophet we got you beat
By the way I'm Ignorance's wife, Deceit
But enough talk now for your hair cut
When the clippers touched my hair, they blew the fuck up
After the explosion there was no one left
Cause I know them mobb poison hair touch of death
My vision's still kinda blurry, but I see a clue
Ignorance is at the library
I hurry, with lightning speed like the flash
He's at the big one, on Grand, Army Plaz
When I get inside the doors shut and the lights go off
Damn another trap
I hear a hissing sound I smell a funny smell
I gasp, I can't breath
Ignorance is laughing at me
Waiting on my down fall,
But he can't stop the prophet

The Afro ninja is a real life stunt expert. He's been in some ultra high budget films (as a stunt dude), and the whole internet phenomenon when he screwed up that one back flip hurt his career to some degree. But he's certainly rolling with the punches, and isn't going to let one stupid internet video destroy his life. Looks like he's capitalizing on it. Right on.

What, no back flip?

Pffft.

The front flip is definitely the next step in this sport. It took years for someone to do a back flip but now everyone can do it.

I drove my sister NUTS listening to this song over and over again as a kid. Actually Billy Joel's River of Dreams tour was the first concert I ever went to, it was on a school night at that OOOOH!. He did this thing where he climbed up onto his piano and acted like he was going to do a back flip off of it. He eventually just hopped down... it was pretty lame.
on a side note the next time anyone listens to Billy's song "The Longest Time" listen for the really high pitched voice guy in the back ground. cracks me up every time!!!!

I disagree with this video. But I'll upvote to promote discussion.
Exploitation is a very natural drive. Since when did animals treated their rivals and prey as their equals and share their abundance?
Seeing all creatures on earth as 'equals' is a uniquely exclusively human and extremely philosophical, which is, man made. But yet, exploiting one's environment and designing them to aid one's self isn't a strictly human thing. Lots of species out there exploit other animals or their surroundings to do their bidding.
Scissor ants harvest leaves, against that tree's will, to grow a fungal farm. Hyenas steal cheetah's food when they're exhausted from chasing the prey. And they don't give a gazelle's ass whether the cheetah dies of hunger or exhaustion.
And when it comes to cruelty, mammals like lions kill off all cubs when newly taken control of a pride in order to wipe out the previous leader's seeds and to lessen competition by them near future. Birds kill the competitor's young by replacing the competition's egg with their own egg.
So what this video argues has nothing to do with how the actual nature runs things.


Here is what's wrong with this entire point: It is the textbook example of a logical fallacy, aptly named an "Appeal To Nature"
Just because something is a certain way in nature does not suggest anything regarding how things should be.
I should remind you of how slippery of a slope this argument stands on, as you appear not to have thought this one all of the way through, with all due respect.
hypothetically, say we were to look at the way things are at any given moment, and remark "well this world is just fine! because this is the way things are in nature and have been for a long time. therefore, nothing needs be changed or revised, because we base what SHOULD be on what is OBSERVED IN NATURE"..

ultimately, how can you justify the accepting of any human-made laws as morally sound?
surely you can't be suggesting that for human-human affairs, the man-made consensus decides what is right and what is wrong, while then back-flipping to say that these same good/bad judgements are utterly NULL and VOID when it comes to animals?
i would like to know where you stand on slavery issues?
capital punishment?

this argument could not be more misguided, in my opinion.

Additionally, I am not ignoring your other points, but rather don't have the time right now. Let's take the arguments one at a time for now.

Hoping you can clarify some things,
tcash

Should have stopped at the back flip....
