I already posted in the jackass FGG thread about it being fugly, but since it has its own thread ill go into more detail…
Im rather insulted that this is called design to be honest. It solves no problems, just serves as mental ************ to try and make something look new by redrawing it with organic curves. To make it seem more technically valid the just go about speccing some rare materials and processes no one could afford. Throw those on some structurally unsound wheels. And what do we have? Garbage. Now I dont discourage people from exploring things, but seeing that htis made it off the sketchpad into their online portfolio is sad.

The wheels seem like they would flex, and possibly bounce, which i think would be fun as hell.

Damn all the hate. I bet y'all woulda been saying the same thing about the safety bike 100 years ago. Its interesting, especially the idea of a more nature inspired design. But I agree paradigm definitely needs to be somewhere in there. Maybe that could be the model name: Para-dig-em
