Also, I only see one set of graphs for each ride, so I guess he used the data as a base and then calculated the effects using his model. There have to be some assumptions involved in that process. The first assumption that occurs to me is that his body performs equally when the equipment is changed.
I also wonder what the resolution is on the acceleration data.
