Anyone find this kind of silly given the context of murdering hundreds of people in a death game built around the same style of another game on the same engine which was built on the story of japanese school children mudering each other that was stolen by a random white lady for a popular book then movie series?

Denise was winning Pro 1-2 crits in SoCal well into her 40s. She puts out a fuckton of watts (not that this means anything to the Kinja couch-commentariat.)

fuck you, that was awesome.

Well at least it’s confirmed: you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I’m sure the last time you increased your speed behind a truck was to get some ice cream. It definitely wasn’t 70+ mph.

Looks like it will be built in Magna Steyr, in Austria, so neither BMW nor Toyota. But you can probably assume the reliability will be more BMW than Toyota. That facility made a lot of Minis, and still makes BMWs, Benzes and Jaguars.

See, this response shows an utter lack of knowledge about the aerodynamics of this situation. The pocket behind the truck wasn’t pulling her along; her speed was entirely her own. If she didn’t accelerate along with the truck, she would have fallen out of the pocket and crashed.

That’s alarmist. There have been exactly zero shootings I’m aware of from 3d printed guns. THrow your gun control efforts behind real firearms, not maybe somedays.

And once it lets go, the only thing that keeps her continuing to gain speed is human power. No engine, just muscle, and notice that she never stops pedaling throughout. Once that tether is released she is in full control as she increases her speed from 110 to 183 entirely on her own. Even with all the advantages…

I can’t comprehend going that fast on a bicycle. I’ve hit 50 mph and the speed wobbles on the road freaked me the hell out. It also didn’t help that there was a bunch of avalanche debris on the road I was biking.

I, too, was a little “meh” when I read about the towing part. And then I watched the video. “Meh” withdrawn. That shit is insane. 

Because nobody has ever ridden a bicycle at those speeds under any conditions at all?

Yes, being able to increase her speed from 110 to 183.9 is nothing at all.

You’d better get on it then.

Yea but lets not get facts get in the way of a good Gawker err Gizmodo circle jerk.

Nah...plastic guns that have as much chance to kill you as your victim no matter how well you follow the plans....way worse.

Haven’t you heard?

Is our big problem with it that she’s a woman, or that she’s seventeen? Let’s flip it around a sec and see. If a seventeen year old male racer was asked by an older woman to sign her chest, or tramp stamp area, would we be ok with that? I can’t help but feel there would be far less protest about that, right or wrong.

Thanks. 

Yeah, I think it’s a perfectly natural reaction to the phenomenon on Stolen Valour, which is certainly on the rise. In fact, a lot of those “I AM A MARINE” guys on the internet aren’t, and never were. A LOT of them. But I’m not claiming anything other than stuff anyone who’d been part of a base would know.
