watch this

its so cool

I've considered using a non-newtonian fluid under the footstraps, to absorb the heel pressure from big jumps... say by making a molded footpad, which contains about 1cm thick fluid (maybe 2cm near the heals), moulded into "cells" say about 2cm in diameter.

ie: during normal riding, you get a nice soft foot pad with a liquid shock absorbtion -> during landings, the fluid becomes a solid.

I saw something on a tv program a few weeks back where they were playing around with a cornflour mixture. Apparently when you hit it hard it acts similar to a solid yet remains fluid otherwise.

Is that what they are using with these speakers?

yeah its cornflour mixture
i want to try it

The hand mess looked familiar.
