Message: [QUOTE="yardpro, post: 190600, member: 25269"] whoops, you said "But, since we are talking about trajectory the riders have to go up before they go down." trajectory is the affect that gravity has on an ascending object, and gravity pulls all objects at the same rate. therefore it will decelerate a rising object, and then accelerate it downward at the same rate, that's your tracectory, however as anssi stated fat guys have to get on the gass more on the face of the jump to maintain the same upward rate, if properly set up the suspension should have the same affect on both. Of course you can preload, "de-load" and all kind of other tricks to use the return of the suspension springs to add more lift. If you're still a doubting thomas, either ask a teacher if you're in school, or go to the local community college and ask a physics professor, I'm sure they are are more adept at simplifying the explanation.
