For sure. I hadn't seen your bro in a while, so I was glad they could join us.

I've been to a few different tree-rope courses, and this place is the best because of how hands-off and self-guided everything is after the very quick intro (by the guide). I just wish the cable-coverings were more slippery (perhaps they can be waxed?) so that they wouldn't grab as much on the lobster-claw carabiners, making it tricky for those attempting "no-hands". Good luck.

I imagine the only thing it would affect is the range. You would probably get slightly less (perhaps negligible) range due to a more turbulent surface being pushed through the water.

I went with the FPump setup from Slingshot, which uses the Quantum 100 (100cm) front foil. I wish there was one foil / board combo that was great at everything, but alas I had to choose one watersport, so I optimized for pumping since a lake (with no boat) was my most convenient option.

@@joshpit2003 what other sports were you considering? You might be able to use that wing for winging? Slingshot front wings also go on sale for pretty cheap, or you can get used ones

@@erbartlett Thanks for the tips. My board itself is probably a limiting factor for anything other than pump and wake foil, since it's so small and barely buoyant. I'm gonna stick with pump for now, but may convert it to e-foil in the future. I see you do a lot of kite-foil. I'm actually located near one of the most popular spots in the USA for that (the Columbia River Gorge). I may get into that eventually, but this sport is still pretty expensive for my dabbling.

I imagine it would be faster to learn than pump foiling, considering you don't have to swim back to a dock every time you fall off. You could also take advantage of wind "down wind foil" and/or waves. Good luck.

lol. They should definitely name it that. There was normally a boat to cross the water too, but we had to swim it this time.

Tis named that my good sir after a gentleman who fell face first into the boggs in middle earth off the cat walk. When the mud was so thick it would swallow you like quicksand.... and it did. When I turned 14 years old I first encountered the depth of the mud where he fell. 12ft deep but right at the surface and level to the eye / catwalk. They tried to pull him out but he was too drunk from his flask of whiskey... all they recovered was his boots that were at the top of the mud. True story

Cool beans. The dates are usually posted on the Unicycle PDX facebook group. We tend to play on a Saturday, 2 pm once every 2-3 weeks. You may be recruited as an on-foot goalie if we need one. It's no fun to play goalie on a unicycle.

Cool beans. I don't know much about sailing either, but I would say you are definitely gonna want to add a keel. Otherwise your flat bottom boat will move 80% in whichever direction the wind is blowing, and only 20% in the direction you are pointing. To counter-act that, a keel resists the wind (by pushing against the water) and forces the boat mostly along your pointed path. If it were me, I'd make the keel removable because it's a challenge to move a boat around with it attached. Best of luck.

@@joshpit2003 I've been looking at "leeboards" (new to me!) They fold up against the side of the hull when not in use and fold down when required. Thanks!

@@johnners911 Oh interesting. New to me too.

Good idea. I was meaning to cross the Bay from Oakland, and that would have been my destination in San Francisco. I never got around to it though and probably won't be any time soon since I'm up in Oregon now.

Hey Erik. Small world: I remember watching your Ball Sculpture video. Nicely done. I went ahead and added a link to the STL files in the video description. It's been a while since I've done this project, but hopefully there is enough info out there for you to figure it out. Good luck!

@@joshpit2003 Thank you! Incredible that you have seen that! :) It's been a while since I made it. I made another ball sculpture a couple of years later with a small robot arm inside as well... Now days I'm mostly fly FPV-drones... I thought this project would be a good winter project. :)

@@MrSnille Cool beans. Lemme know how it works out for you. I originally had the "lean" as a function of actual head-tilt (roll axis) but after some testing, it was much better as a push-button. I also decided that the degree of head movement vs camera movement needed to be set such that camera movement was amplified (I can't remember the actual figures, but maybe it is mentioned in Dylan's code). Good luck.

@@joshpit2003 Started prototyping: ua-cam.com/video/5bWz7avV62s/v-deo.html

@@MrSnille wow, that was fast. Nicely done. If I recall, the reason for the parallel(ish) bar linkage was to have less actual roll-angle when "leaning". You may have defeated that with your setup. Not a big deal if you don't mind the very tilted camera though.

lol. I 'm glad I over-built this because I've been using it as a foot rest. I'll need to add a foam-topper, perhaps attached with magnets.

Once I get settled into my new apartment we need to play more R6

lol. Age of Empires II looks great.

@@joshpit2003 perfect! I forward this over to my gamer friends this is awesome haha.

I only sell these as Bare Hull Kits or Digital Plans. Link in the description.

I think the tandem shower heads were some sort of defeat-device on water-conservation. "Shower heads must be less than X flow rate." But they didn't specify how many shower heads are allowed. lol

Best buds on day 1.

My first time flying a (video) drone. It's amazing how small, cheap, and user-friendly they have become.

Eat worms!
