Some of the medical terminology was over my head, but this was an extremely good watch. Total dry Irish humor too.

I've never heard an Irishman described as "dry" before.

Yeah I think it was a presentation given to medical/pre-med students or something, there's a lot of medical terminology I had no idea about either but lots of good info still and very well presented. The guy sounds like he was a really cool dude :(

Presentation about responding to road racing trauma from a guy who used to do it on a superbike, loaded with medical gear, at speed. Road racing :stare:

Unfortunately we lost this guy during a racing incident. God Speed Dr. John Hinds.

I love that video, and Hinds is a rad guy, but "used to" is an interesting way of putting it.

"used to before he died" would have been just belaboring the point, I mean it says R.I.P. right in the video title

Dr Hinds was a weird intersection of interests for my wife and I. She loved all the blood and guts trauma the guy would talk about on his podcast (she’s a nurse) and I loved all the beik talk.

Are those wallet chains? If yes, they look and are very stupid.

Or regular chains? If yes, then also very stupid.

I'm reading a few riding technique books over the winter and Total Control by Lee Parks is one of them. Some of the physics of suspension is going to take a few reads to wrap my head around but it's a very well-written book full of great information. And every few pages there's a picture of some crazy poo poo like this:

Agreed that's an excellent book. You'll be pleased to know the hardest thing about that picture is the massively unnecessary contortionist knee going down, cause he isn't even scraping the boards yet :colbert:

Granted his goal probably wasn't to grind the boards into dust like you're meant to, but rather to make a cool picture.

I've checked and yeah, the inverse Honda rule holds true. You'd literally need to sleeve it down to a 50cc to improve it.
