    soap box racers.....gravity powered

    take a look at these designs. There are some pretty good photos of the construction and most of these guys get up to speeds of 40+ mph on bicycle tires. It's a myspace page so you'll have to have one to view the photos. http://www.myspace.com/aigrf Also check out the videos at...

    soap box racers.....gravity powered

    through my experience, trike based gravity racers are extremely dangerous. SFVISBF has the most lax rules out of everyone and the trike design was the first to get an official ban. The problem with trike designs is the handling. When your reach about 25-35 mph and try to turn the weight...

    Gaskill's Hop Shop: "THE GET LUCKY"

    Re: "THE GET LUCKY" Great innovation. I love the ribs, may have to borrow that idea in the future. It's no fun to build something safe, you have to have the possiblity of being maimed!!! p.s. Your headlight made me laugh.

    Board Track Forks

    Would someone like to post a how to on boardtrack forks? I've seen a few on here, some home made. I have a motorbike project and I was just going to weld truss rods to it. But if there is a more detailed way of going about it that would be great.

    ~BBO 4 Idea~

    I'm not too fond of this idea because of the way I view custom cars. I've always seen "Traditional rods" the way it's grown from the 50's. I when I think of traditional I think of shiny paint, flame jobs, nice upholsty, chrome and tons of money dropped into it. When I think Ratrod I think of...

    My votes went to those who had a lot of kustom work balanced with overall style. The big fabricators took my votes. Didn't vote for myself. I never can.

    Where can you buy Thick/Quick brick tires!?!?!

    I picked up a few of them from a shop that was closing here in my town. I need a 26 inch cream quick brick to finish a set and I can't find one anywhere. I even called the felt dealers here in town and they are all roadbike snobs that informed me they only deal with "real" bikes, and wouldn't...

    So many music posts, addition to the scrapyard?

    With so many threads about music I think there should be a music section under the scrap yard. I think it would fill up quickly and we would all be able to turn to it for good music.

    That's Maddog's car. http://www.sfvisbf.com This is mine. Since these photos were taken the scrub brakes were replaced with 1/2 inch steel plates. Those wimpy little things came right off.
