  3. But heavy is good with a soapbox, added momentum can mean more speed.

  6. Weight is good once you have momentum, however it makes generating that momentum harder

  19. Very true of course, that's where you need a couple of the biggest, strongest pushers at the top. The faster you can start accelerating the faster you will be going at the bottom.

Did you see the Guy Martin programme a while ago, he did something similar and kept adding bottles of water as ballast. The more he piled in, the faster he ended up going.*





    *Until he had a huge crash, but we'll not worry about such details;)
