For Scale:

Each color strip is 8ft in length. For example, the first curb
in the photo is 24ft in length and 2ft in width.

The first 12" of curbing slopes to a 4 inch rise.

The last 12" of curbing is level, with 3/4" deep V groves (NOT RISERS)
on 4inch centers.

Edit: Spelling ownz Mark

The painting looks good. Makes me wonder why VIR doesn't have theirs done as well.

Cool, amazing to see by how much the tires are moving and flexing. I usually like to ride the curb also, but not by that much.
And yes, I don't mind the rain also.

I really, REALLY want a high speed (high frame rate) video camera to goof around with, but they are $$$$.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.
