![]() ![]() Gotta say that I believe that at least half of the Katana's reputation is hype. There are a number of cutting tests with swords on youtube, here's one of the hanwei dao (another one i have) vs. their use of pig carcasses complete with bones is a close as we are likely to get to real. I'm rather fond of the cold steel series of cutting tests of their swords, the one on their version of the dutch klewang is one of my favourites as i have a proper original dutch one myself. We now return you to our regularly scheduled thread. appears cheetahs run out of steam very fast and take longer to recharge. anyway there was one race, the cheetah won handily, but was never raced again. The 70mph top speed for a cheetah was apparently taken from a guesstimate made in africa over a rough terrain with a manual stopwatch, so is suspect.Ī greyhound track owner did import a few cheetahs in the early part of the 20th century, trained them over a few months and then raced one against greyhounds to which they'd been accustomed to each other so as to not try to kill each other. greys like to run, cheetahs apparently only do it because they have to. the greyhounds consistently tested faster over the runs they were using. (he doesn't catch them but has great fun chasing them)Īnyhow, there was a study recently where they were doing motion studies on the spines of greyhounds and cheetahs to see how they used their flex to store and release energy. he never raced, but is a fiend on rabbits and other small animals like foxes & muntjaq deer. she normally lead from the front when she won and placed in the money over 2/3 of her 80 races before she was fouled by another dog and injured enough she was retired & thus went home with me and blue, my other greyhound. They figure they reach top speed in about 2 strides out of the trap, a feat millie was noted for. ![]() a greyhounds top speed is usually noted at around 45 mph. after moving to the UK, she handily won a stakes race, looking up the time and distance, she ran an average of 34 mph over 550 yards. the grey won by several seconds.Ĭoincidentally that track was the one in ireland where my millie used to race in her early career in dublin. similarly, top gear had a race between a class A racing greyhound (worth about £20000) against a sports car over two laps. There was a race between a professionally jockeyed race horse and a retired (and thus off peak training) greyhound over two furlongs (1/4 mile), the greyhound won by two horse lengths. But Greyhounds can be just as fast if not faster. It is like when Greyhounds are shown to be faster than Cheetahs oftentimes, but people like the idea of the Cheetah, untamed and fast as hell. ![]()
