Also Tomac:
When people tell you BMX is good training for MTB, when people try out drop bars on MTB, remember Tomac did it first. If you want to learn to ride a classic MTB, study Tomac
Look at that high post attack stance! Dropper? He's probably never heard of her, but I'm sure she's in his dust

Name this movie!
I’ll check into this. Thanks
Were there 32 spoke SA hubs as well?
I have a 32 hole chrome hoop I’d like to use. No rear hub for it.

Tech from the sidevalve era…
Note how short the pivoting link is. Only 68 mm.

Looks like the link goes from fork tip to the end of the strut from the leaf spring (68 mm) plus a bit more to the actual axle, and that adds to the travel. That's pretty cool. Folks have used that concept here too. Usually on a Monarch style springer, with the rockers from static fork to sprung fork plus the extension to the axle. Both give you more movement at the axle with less movement at the spring.
another random application that I've stashed for later implementation..

Get a good look, them pads would push against the inside of the rim next to the nipples. So would probably work well with a wider rim. But could also be reconfigured to lever a set of calipers.

Imagine if you have an egg shaped rim.
1/8” of egg equals maybe 1/2” Pedal pulses.

A wheel with a hop in it.
Grew up watching John at Lansing Jack Pine bmx, guy was sooooo fast! Really cool to kids, like me. Love seeing his son destroying motocross.
One of my favorite rides, the Thunderbolt Greaseslapper,
sitting on the wall of the only fountain for miles, in front of the Kankakee Depot.

A bunch of things! Did you know horses and cows can sleep standing up, but only dream when lying down? There's a metaphor for life in there, or a cruel joke, I can never tell them apart.
what did the fish say when it ran into a concrete wall? dam!
Damdam p0rn.
A fish saved my life once...
Do tell!
