this might be a stretch, but my pal Chris W.(NZ) and I coined the phrase 'shred the gnar'

Cross-Country Tech - Vallnord XC World Cup 2017
Here is a real world report about vibration - flat tire crashed an airplane.
skip to the analysis...
http://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2014/a14w0177/a14w0177.asp
An unexpected high rotational imbalance was created on the number 3 tire when it failed during takeoff. During landing, the failed number 3 tire was spun by contact with the ground and was maintained at a rotational speed that was the same as or very close to one of the natural frequencies of the main landing gear (MLG). This caused the lock links to trigger (through the proximity sensors gap) the proximity sensor electronic unit (PSEU) to de-energize the solenoid sequence valve (SSV), thereby relieving system pressure from the extend port of the unlock actuator. In this condition, the excessive vibration then caused the lock links to overcome the force from the downlock springs and unlock the stabilizer brace as a result of gear dynamics, which led to collapse of the right MLG.

Ready for Rio - Oakley's Green Fade Olympic Collection
"Each piece - ............- is hand-painted to give it that fade aesthetic."
Man that sounds like the worst job in the world. Don't they have robots for that?

i liked the bit when "dirtbag" raced the piper enduro, but ended up on an old section (piper down origianal not piper cross), came across the finish line and was saying " That bottom section sure gets steep and tight!" No doubt- dirtbag probably still holds the fastest time down the old school gnar of piper down original.
