[QUOTE="Rooster, post: 339556, member: 19605"] [b]Whoop fairies!![/b] Aint no such thing! Them whoops are caused by a short, pudgy, slightly balding guy on a huge diesel burning machine with tracks and a bucket on the front. The guy laughs like a madman as he makes the whoops deeper and deeper. He makes cartwheeling gestures with his hands and verbalizes crashing noises. He laughs even louder as he sculpts the tops to razor sharp peaks, I hate this pudgy little man....... Oh, sorry, you guys were talking about the naturally occuring whoops. I like the forces that make those! :) I agree with Pred. Same thing as gravel road washboards, a reaction effect, if you will. One bounce generates another and another, until you have a nice long section of washboard, or in this case whoops. In the case of washboards, it's just one wheel bumps, but in whoops, I theorize it is the whole bike bouncing, due to the fact that the entire machine gets lofted after each peak. [/QUOTE]
