Suspension 101 school on DVDs!!

[jasonbw]

I bought the Dave Moss twin DVD set here: http://www.feelthetrack.com/
Its friggin awesome, gave me so much good info on suspension setup and reading tyres.
If anyone wants to 'borrow' it then PM me. Easy enough to post out or whatever.. just converted it to AVI too :)

[Zee]

Any chance of getting copies made, Jas?? ;)
Of course I would remunerate you for your efforts. :)
Zee's from the Gong too. :ayyy:

[jasonbw]

Pop by the Uni sometime, give me a buzz at work on 42212977.

JasonBW

[jace]

Ive got one of those DvD & vcr in one systems.......hmmmmm I wonder if I can copy it from cd to vidio on this unit? :confused1:

[jasonbw]

No need buddy, I can err 'loan' you either in dvd or vhs.

[MadHatter]

Maybe we can organise to have this uploaded somewhere..
Hold tight.

[jasonbw]

My CPU's been on 100% for 8 hours now in prep for this very reason :)

[jace]

Thats a to Idea Hatter.

[jasonbw]

I've had the initial free version for a bit now... I have it here (http://members.iinet.com.au/~jasonbw/photos/bikes/Suspension_setup_videos/)

It'll get you by for now.. its a little lower quality so seeing the tyre readings is difficult but at least the suspension and setup info is top class... well worth a look...

JasonBW

[lilninja]

Hey Jason what are you using to play those Dave moss video's, my computer is saying it doesn't know what created them so it can't play them, Bla blah blah!

[jasonbw]

HA hahaha.. theres the player in that link, download and run that exe, it'll open up a window, just resize or move the window then drag the FLV video you want it to play... bit weird but works... I've encoded into DivX the DVD and damn its huge.. near 2Gb worth for it all... I think it might be easier if I arrange to make some DVD's to 'loan' out at then next ride or track event?

Anyone keen to take em up ? I have too many expenses (all bike related) which will have me away from a track for at least a month... the info in this is SO GOOD it needs to be watched sooner. pity I cant get it all to you before the track day because I can guarantee you it will save you $$ on tyre wear just by following his advice after each session (tyre reading - adjust rebound/compression)

I can post the DVD's if you want, but the post bags are $5 from auspost.

JasonBW

[Zippa]

Jason, would love to check them out. Im local & can drop some dvd's off. If you can burn us a master copy so to speak, I can fix Zee & any of the other local yokels up at Figgy pub one Friday night. Just pm me an addy or whatever is the easiest for you.

[ZX6R]

Meeee toooo!

[jasonbw]

shit hot... Ive a stack of DVDs at my desk .. I'll run off say 10 tomorrow, if you can drop by the uni anytime I'll meet up with you.

As you go into the uni (the entry near the guards gate next to the freeway) you go like 10 meters and a road goes off to the left, dont take that one :) keep going straight for ten more seconds and you'll see a boom gate for the Andrew Corp building, pull up there and buzz Andrew corps reception. If your on a bike you can ride between the bollards and park just undercover to the right where m red blade will be parked, give me a buzz on 42 212977 or 0432 867460 and I'll pop down.

I have some fears about the DVD media quality, they're not cheap (verbatim) brand but I had no success in my player at home, might just be a compatibility thing, worst case you can re-encode them on your home PC as they work perfect on the computer (I use them for data)

Anyone else who doesn't catch up with our kind and helpful Zippa can just PM me and we can arrange when to pick it up, sound good?

JasonBW

[jasonbw]

Can I suggest anyone who takes a DVD make a binding by death promise to donate $5 to the site for upkeeping costs... surely the admins have a paypal address or such??

JasonBW

[ZX6R]

I'll catch Zippa on Friday...since I missed out on the last one, which was said to have set the pace for future pub nights...

[Wardy]

Mate that was very informative. Good find. I've been out bouncing the bike for the last hour, all makes a bit more sense now.

Cheers

[jasonbw]

HA HAHAHAHA... Awesome man, great stuff.. Hear that all, its WORTH IT!!! really..

How easy is it to set front rebound now! See how that guy he picked out of the classroom couldnt get the 3 bounces... the secret seems to be to pull the bike up first, watch Dave do that in slow mo if possible, he lets the wheel turn slightly left too.

JasonBW

No worries Jas, that's top stuff. :ayyy:
No doubt we'll see you at Figgy pub with the illawarra boys one friday night :beer:

[lilninja]

Jase dude Ide kill for a coppy of this dvd, really found the previews interesting, woud love to be able to understand the mystery of suspenion better! Whats the chances of dropping round and picking one up off you? Probably wouldnt be able to get to the Uni in business hours though!

[jasonbw]

Not a problem... you can pop by anytime, I live in Balgownie, not far from the Mountain you come down to get ot the uni... PM me if you want to drop in and I'll bring the set home (I'll give you 'twist of the wrist' dvd too)

JasonBW

[Zippa]

nice to meet you Jason, great work with the DVD's, have had a quick look & it looks very helpful.
I owe you a drink or 2 if you make it to Figgy pub one night,
Cheers :beer: :mod_smilie_rockwoot

[jasonbw]

Course I'll make it mate, no shout needed!!! The Keith Code DVD is great for late night viewing... easily puts you to sleep! :) Great info though but their acting is HORRID!

[ZX6R]

The Keith Code DVD is great for late night viewing... easily puts you to sleep! :) Great info though but their acting is HORRID! So is his second book...

[jasonbw]

Yeah, not so much of a book is it... hard to read but worth it :)

[Zee]

I thought his books were very easy to understand and insightful :)

[jasonbw]

I think it took me about 10 times of reading Twist 2 cover to cover before I felt like I could keep the info for more than a week... my mind is either a sieve or theres just SO much info in there... I think maybe its a bit of both problems. :)

I swear though, that book is the best one to read for the fundamentals.

[jasonbw]

OK, after posting another set today for someone I found I can post them for a couple of bucks, instead of the $5 I was paying before.. SO....

This means I'm fine giving these away, if you want the 2 DVD set then reply here (to keep the thread alive and get the word out) and PM me your address. If you have a buddy on RATs please just get me to send the one and share, that help me.

If you have a set from me already then POST UP IF THEY HELPED... so people know how good these are... :) :) go on..

Heya

Mate, rather than hit you up for a copy, can you recommend a certain one to download from that lot ?
My computer is abit of a donkey and will take for ever to download that lot.

Cheers

[jasonbw]

PM me your address buddy and I'll fire you off a 2 DVD set in the post.
Or.. are you, or a mate of yours coming to the July 2nd track day, I can bring it then?

[Johnny]

Thanx... yeah will try to get out to the track, save you posting them out mate, if I cant scab a lift in, then Ill get back to you.

Cheers..

[jasonbw]

NAhhh stop the download and just PM the address, dont worry about making a trip just for that... I'll post em off to you.

[Johnny]

Cheers mate, much appreiated regardless, will see how this download goes, then do the rest all night if need be, nothing better to do :o
I will get incontact via pm if it fails.

[jasonbw]

PM anyway, the DVD set has a whole DVD dedicated to the guru walking around at a track day going over peoples bikes, in case study method... really REALLY good info which you cant get on those downloads.

[Johnny]

Cheers, your a legend.

PM about to be sent.

P.S have watched the downloaded one, I thought it great, really, downloading rest now.

[Johnny]

Ive been in contact with Jasonbw to and from via pm.
He's last pm I receive, Ive been trying to find the right words to respond with, (hopeless with words), I cant find the right words, as he blew me away with his kindness in that one.

Mate, so rather than send you a pm, Ill say it here instead, you really are a top bloke, thanx for that. I owe ya a beer atleast.

[jasonbw]

More than welcome to the DVDs mate.

[Squirts]

PM me your address buddy and I'll fire you off a 2 DVD set in the post.

Hey jason,

Reckon you could send us a copy of the DVD's??

i'm still saving my penny's to join you guys for a track day, but would like to have a good idea on this stuff before i eventually hit the track..

[jasonbw]

Yep Squirts, posted 20 minutes ago, anyone else ??

[Johnny]

After finally getting to watch the set in full ( and admitedly need to watch it all again to take it in), how good is that. Awesome it answers alot of questions, and is truly great to watch and listen to.

Thanx again Jasonbw... :-)

[mick]
