Maybe we need to organize a field trip where we can all convene and discuss. I'd love to spin it around with Barrie England in there! :^) | |

Is there something in this which states that it spins independently of the bendability? on a spring rider, you can effectively spn by bending in a circular motion. Looking at the website, i see that they claim it spins on an axis, but don't claim any central spring so what is the source of the "give" evidenced in the photo. | |
