Long one

I had a long live stream last night where we talked about a number of subjects, especially the recent rash of EUC fires.  The most dramatic case was one rider on a modified Gotway Monster where it burst into flames as he was riding and then went off like a bomb.  That ride also unfortunately broke his leg as dove off the wheel awkwardly as it combusted.  The other two cases appeared to be the system boards failing while the rider was in motion, once again causing injuries.  I generally don’t try to focus on wheel failure possibility that much but it is a big reason I have focused more and more on wearing proper safety gear over the  years.  The stream was another three hour marathon but I enjoyed it.

I am looking to take a few days off next week to facilitate my reviewing another demo EUC that I will hopefully be picking up this weekend.  It is one of the new wheels that includes an active suspension which should be really interesting to test out.
