Watching that helps me understand the limits of my ability to visualize.

You can actually do this with an innertube, but it works best if the minor and major radii are as close as possible - a bicycle tube wouldn't work very well (the radius of the tubing is tiny compared to the radius of the wheel it fits around), but big fat tubes like you take out on the river will. I've never painted stripes on one, but perhaps I should!

Thank you.

squick - that was not nice.
