bike above the wire (& landing it)

Dick Flint said...: Chic,
What you may be thinking is the wire is actual a railing in front of the seats. Look a the A-frame supporting the far end of the wire and follow it at the same angle as the wheels of the bike and you'll realize the bike is not being bounced. Would be a hell of a trick, though!
And thanks, Chic, for entertaining my son last August!

Chic Silber said...: Thanks Dick but I was actually

trying to imagine a horizontal

line from the top of the frame

but the illusion must be created
