Thirsty Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wouldn't the friction make your feet hot? Very cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_d Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I just looked up the Air Cam. TWO bloody Rotax 912 ULS's! I couldn't afford one (new). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ithink it's done in a cold climate . Makes no difference friction is friction and yes it does get hot, which is why you see them going from seat to feet on a regular basis. Normal speed for barefooting is between 32 - 38 knots can't imagine what it would be like at 50+ behind a Thruster or Drifter, these guys are good.

Aldo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ii was only joking . They are good . No offence meant, I remember barefooting in another life and it was hard enough to hang on at 35+knots to do this at 50+ is insane, I can just imagine what a face plant must be like when you get it wrong and your toes dig in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
