[QUOTE="PT564, post: 24359, member: 18177"] Ok folks.... I saw in a thread here that someone was trying to dog on Jer for not haveing a specific type of engineering degree. As a person with a engineering degree I'd like to address this subject for the masses. ONE Doesn't need to be an engineer to be EXCELLENT at Suspension! Infact, engineering degrees are far too much theory and not enough practice. And, practice makes perfect... Now, would a understanding of some math and physics help? Sure. Is it necessary? NO. Does Jer, with a Geo degree have that? ABSOLUTELY! Infact, some of the most technical people I've delt with have Geo degrees. Moreover, most of the truely excellent suspension designers don't have engineering degrees. Paul Turner, who started RockShox and hooked up with Steve Simmons, doesn't have a engineering degree. He is considered one of the most innovative suspension guy ever. I could go on and on about the people in the suspension industry that are OUTSTANDING and don't have degrees. However, I couldn't go on and on about the people that do have degrees in Engineering that are outstanding. Bottom line. Jer seems to know his stuff. And, if the stuff works for you VERY well-- then that's all the proof you need. [/QUOTE]
