Speed walking is stupid. I mean come on, if someone needs to move fast, they are not going to be making sure to keep one foot on the ground, they are going to run. And it looks ridiculous!
Yeah maybe the tire size is wrong, that would probably give the sensors bad info from what it is expecting
These crazy fuckers are doing a 50k - that's ~28 miles of speed walking - further than a fucking marathon.
And, sure it's stupid, but half the Olympics is stupid. Do you really think the diving has any real world application? None of it has any real world application, except maybe the fighting and weightlifting competitions. And, really, how often do you need to lift 500 pounds over your head?
Speaking of which, yeah... The old days are gone. The weightlifters were putting more than 500 pounds over their heads. When I was young, seeing a 400 pound lift was amazing.
The tire size being wrong would explain all the symptoms. I think... I bet it's a larger profile and different compound than originally spec'ed for the car. They were probably really low-profile, which is just plain uncomfortable on bumps and shit. It's after 17:00, so I'll have the mechanics go over it with me tomorrow morning.
If that's the case, I'll just order new tires. Ain't no way they're in stock at anything local.
That should be really quick and easy to check.
How the fuck do people lift 500 pound over their head? I'm never going to do that.
Yeah, the manual will tell me exactly the right tire, including a recommended brand. It's not as bad as some. My P1 takes tires that are only made for the P1, at like $1200 each. At least I hope it's not as bad as some. It's probably a Pirelli low-pro of some type.
And, yeah... The gold was almost 520 pounds. That's fucking intense.
