WHY IS THE ASSAULT BIKE SO HARD? – PART III
The short answer is this: because it is designed to do so. In this video we finish the series understanding the mechanics and physiology of the air bike.
How to do alcohol
Sometimes I like to complicate easy things. The answer to "How to do alcohol?" is simple: like the nice human in the picture below, on a horse at the beach and with style. Done!
