May 21 - Geo Snail


Good travels at a snail's pace. Those who want to do good are not selfish, they are not in a hurry, they know that to impregnate people with good requires a long time.

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Before Juan Gonzales was making videos, he made a couple PDFs that explored a bunch of different ways you might use a geo (link).  This snail is a bonus image included in his "Extra Geos II".  A geo makes a perfect snail shell, I tried adding something to the center section to give a rounder look, but I don't really like it as well as the unusual look of the plain.

I opened up the other bags of 7-year-old stock geos, the white seem perfectly normal, but the emerald green are off.  They seem .. thin(?) and smell terrible by comparison.  A number of them popped in my face while inflating and they don't seem to take the punishment of a distortion or sidewall bubble as well.

That said, I think it's actually pretty good practice to use them.  They force you to be much more careful and decisive.  Though it's a bit like eating mustard on your french fries -- it makes you really appreciate ketchup.
