  1. Re: A Thread for Random Videos

     

    Out here, you'd be surprised. I see Porsches all over. And by that same logic, these people you mention should be against Mitsubishi as well.... and probably a dozen other Japanese and German brands... like BMW.

     

    Of course, I once wanted to get a VW Thing and paint it gray....

     

    I happen to like the look of Porsche. Beside hating a company because of its root is like saying I hate somebody because his Great Grandfather was in the SS. He is not his grandfather and VW/Porsche is not the same company from the 1940's.

  2. Re: Looking for rules for Rollerblades

     

    True dat and I was looking at example. Here is what I found on line from either wiki answers or yahoo (don't remember)

     

    “I would put the average person that I see on a trail at 8-11 mph.

    I skate regularly with others and most of us do 12-13 when pushing a bit. I have averaged 14-15 mph in marathons (26.2 miles). I am faster than the average person who enters the race.

    I know people who can average 20-21 mph. (these are serious local racers)

    The record for pro men at the Northshore Inline Marathon is around 27 mph. (doing 25mph down a hill really scares me, I can't imagine averaging faster than that)”

     

    Taking that into account I say this works for the speed bonus they give.

    +10m is the Average Speed to get a normal person (Spd 2 and 12m movement) to 8 mph+

    Speed of 3 easily makes it into 12-13 mph range while a speed of 4 (assuming in both cases a base movement of 12m) slightly exceeds 14-15 mph. So it is not unreasonable to assume that Inland skates adds +10m to ground movement. So made that running with a turn mode built as a OIF.
