hey

by the way.. we need to check the "physics' to see if "leg length" or physical stature had a role in this result. or if there is any "pawing" pardon the pun...

or is it the simple application of force... in the correct direction...

Id have to say a lot has to do with stride length, as the max stride length of 28 feet. Then with the extra two legs I'd say that there is a little more applied force too.
