I think it would be super cool if you guys did something on equestrian sports Smile

However being an english rider i would be more interested in seeing advanced dressage moves and hunter/jumper riders.

In dressage it would be cool to see how the horses change their body position in order to preform certain movements and how the riders weight distribution helps/hinders the horse.

In jumping it would be interesting to see how the horse adjusts its jumping style depending on the size/width of the jump and what stresses/strains are on the horse as it leaves the ground and lands.

I'm a new member and of course I have to start by saying great job, the show is amazing. One of my suggestions for a timewarp, if it has not be mentioned already would be showing how a baseball pitcher pitches different pitches. For example maybe a curveball or split-finger fastball or a slider. I just think that would be really cool if you can show rotation and movement of the ball.

Hey do you think that later, in the spring that you could stop by the Community Rowing Inc. boathouse just outside of Boston in Brighton MA
I would love to see myself rowing in something like 5000 fps!

I think the discovery channel should really get a professional bmx'er and let them do bmx tricks while being taped by a high speed camera .it would be fascinating to see what body movements the person would go through. so please get bmx on time warp ASAP. my favorite style of bmxing to see on this show would be freecoaster riding.riding a freecoaster allows you to ride backwards without backpedaling . an example would be

josh eilken

it takes tons of balance to ride backwards and more to do tricks. if you got a freecoaster rider to do tricks on the show it would be phenomenal to see the looks on my friends faces to see what actually goes in while balancing in bmx.so please , could you get someone to bmx on the show?

^^^freecoaster? pshh thats cheating
get a rider who has a regular freewheel hub and slow it down to see what body movements it takes to balance while pedaling backwards.

who doesn't know how to balance on a cassette hub or a freewheel hub? a freecoaster hub is more harder to balance on because on a cassette or freewheel hub the pedaling backwards makes you balance because it incorporates more body movements in it which causes more balance. when is the last time you rode a freecoaster? because obviously you don't know how much more harder it is to ride a freecoaster than it is to ride a normal cassette or freewheel.

now tell me that that ^^^ doesn't take superior balance movement and coordination to do freecoaster riding is ten times more harder than non freecoaster riding.

I would like to see either professional wakeboarders jumping the wake or professional slalom skiers (waterskiing) making cuts through a course. Hopefully these ideas will interest you....something you haven't done yet and would be really simple to do.

I just watched a Breaking Vegas show on Dominic LoRiggio who spent something like six years mastering how to throw dice. I think it would be wonderful to see how dice behave when he throws them versus your average thrower.

You guys should do wakeboarding! Or even snowboarding would be cool. What do you think?

I love the show. I'm a high schol track and field athlete, and I'd absolutely love to see you guys film a pole vaulter. I know first-hand the sport is incredibly complicated, and takes an immense amount of strength and gynastic ability. A normal jump is far too fast to be able to appreciate all of the skill it takes to complete a successful and impressive jump. Please consider the suggestion!

I think filming some BMX would be good. But not just anywhere, more like here...
