If your aunts friend's cousin's boyfriend (or anyone really) tried this for 5 minutes and said 'oh it doesnt work' - they probably did it wrong and need to experiment. Pecking is something I figured out over the course of weeks and have been using for much longer, it takes some practice and precision.<br></div><div><br></div><div>here's the follow-up video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdHd_mpomN8&feature=youtu.be">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdHd_mpomN8&feature=youtu.be</a></div><div>I show a more appropriate amount of force.

Applying vibrations to machines has been done for a very long time, but mostly by hitting the lockdown bar. I remember a High Speed at PAPA many years ago where doing that would tilt instantly; I think they had rigged up something special like Dan mentioned. If it's only light slapping like you say Steve and not the loud banging we were first introduced to, then it's probably ok but I'm still going to give it the stink-eye for being weird. :)</div><div><br></div><div>You should record another more representative video and post it to something like Tilt Forums to see what the larger community thinks about it.</div><div><br></div><div> --- Dave <br></div></div><span class=""><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_7052670698217157876gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">"Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about."</div>
