Well, one of my favourite personal projects is going public! We've talked about it and calculated what's possible for many years and it is now getting serious!
Working with Driver61 I've contributed towards a project that is more challenging than it first seems - and the first installment of a series of informative videos on the subject is out now. Driver61 video about driving upside down
I will be joining Scott Mansell in a future video to explain more of the challenges of making this possible.
