link don't work dood

Meh. Darn kids and their fancy aitchteeemel.

wow, that looks dangerous.

Darwin award candidates.

I can imagine the bottom guy popping his head up a little, getting his hair/scalp/skull tangled in the chain/chainring/upper rear wheel(why is this there?) then having the whole thing tumble over in a big hot mess. If nobody dies, I bet that would get a lot of hits on youtube.

that is just wrong on way to many levels.

Nick was already talking about building something like that at the MS150.

All you haters are gonna be begging for a ride when he builds it.

What about this one...... its a very tall bike....

I AM TERRIFIED

I'm thinking it would actually be SAFER* to build two, link them side-by-side, and call it a vertical tallbike quad...

*Note that safer, in this context, is a highly relative term.

only thing i wonder about a tall tandem is how the front ride gets on. do you have to climb up the back and then over the stoker's bars to your saddle?

In keeping with the spirit of such a contraption, I suggest a pogo stick and some gymnastic acumen.

Plus, the pogo stick could be used as an impromptu kickstand if needed.

That style had crossed my mind, but that contraption looks super sketchy.

At the end of the month, when I am done moving the business i am shutting down out of it's office, I will start back up on my projects.

The biggest design issue I see with a tall tandem making the frame strong enough to be ridden 100+

miles and light enough to be ridden 100+ miles.

Kayla already told me she would ride it with me

next year on the MS150.

i reckon i'd have a far different expression on my face than those dudes in that first vid.
