Wait wait wait what. Ok this discription criminally undersells this video. I read the discription and thought "oh hey that sounds awesome and super cool! Video from 1929? Taken on a BOAT? wow incredible!" I start watching. Video: [shows a guy playing with antique (in 1929) bicycles he found in his attic] me: "oh ok, not what I was expecting but this is neat--ooh, a highwheel bike!" [Dude crashes bike spectacularly] video: [shows man climbing telephone pole] narration: "I was training for going to sea, this was the closest I could find to a mast for practice...." (Me: "yes makes sense") [pole starts swaying, man makes it sway more on purpose] "...this pole was rotten at the bottom so it sways well, but it won't fall over because the wires hold it up!" [Man is climbing onto the top of the pole] me: " wait WHAT" video: [shows man doing a headstand on top of the pole while HANGING ONTO THE WIRES] "I wanted to make sure nothing about climbing the rigging would be scary..."

I am literally a minute and a half into this video and the first thirty seconds we're opening credits. This man is off the wall

Just watched a fascinating film called Around Cape Horn, filmed in 1929. It's footage taken by a sailor on a commercial sailing ship as it goes around the Horn, narrated by him decades later. It's only 40 minutes, and has some absolutely incredible shots.

Apparently Peter Weir used it as a reference while shooting Master and Commander.

Tarzan theory is still possible

Biggest obsticle : Timeframes can be managed

"We could ride our bikes through the haaalls!" -Anna Bicycles invented 1817 Photography invented 1826 Sepia photos invented and popular from 1860 to 1920 First steam engine ship in 1808, popular by the 1850's. High wheelers 1871 Tandem bicycles invented in 1890's. Typewriters commerically invented and successful in 1868 In the frozen fever short movie we see elsa and anna riding through the halls on a two person bike which is called a tandem bike which was not patented until the 1890's. So while their clothes may say that they are perhaps "less modern" than those such as jane wore, it seems that the land that Elsa and Annas parents ruled was not very large, and though they had many trade partners they may not have been a wealthy country. For them to be riding tandem bikes it would have to be 1890's or better, by that time the steam ships we see in tarzan may be very popular indeed, Yet still her parents might have had deals with neighboring tradelands about keeping wooden ships to increase their trade and would in turn buy larger lots of ice or something. If they are 1890's, early 1900, then the highwheelers would probably be a fun piece that jane had brought for entertainment and thats why we see tarzan riding it on the trunks of trees spiralling crazily about.

Take into accountthat in Once upon a Snowman, we see Oalf having a stereoscope which proves that frozen world does have a photograph taking devices. And trust me the landscapes in stereoscope were real, not drawn trust. Go and see yourself if you want.( plus the lands included moana's island, tarzan's jungles plus rapunzel's environment)

Also the map in frozen 2 was made when agnar was young, when his ship was the last to ever approach dark sea for the next years. since Frozen 2 takes place over 30 years after the fateful day that the Enchanted Forest was closed off. Something else that anchors the franchise's late-1800s setting is the fact that, at the end of Frozen 2, a camera is used; the characters are still bewildered by the technology and coming to terms with how to use it. While the oldest surviving photograph dates back to 1826, cameras started to become more commonly used in the late 19th century when their functionality rapidly started to increase. This would fit in with the fact that Frozen likely takes place in the late 1860s or early 1870s and Frozen 2 three years after, roughly when cameras would start to be used more in public life and, therefore, establishing the timeline of the franchise.

Also If young Agnarr was reading the "new" book by Andersen in 1837, that means the time frame for the "Frozen" movies could be around the late 1860s or 70s.

As for the crashes of the ships, we are aware in Frozen 2 that their ships sank at dark sea thnaks to nokk. However there are now bodies, whiel we cansay that the water squashed them but it may instead have washed them away from the scandinavian waters close to african wates where they were picked up by the england ship that we see burned in the opening.

However as for them having a portrait and tarzan getting a picture; portraits would most likely still be highly symbolic of status for royalty and thats why they have portraits at home normally, however they weren't exaclty home or any closer to arendelle. It is also possible that the ones the ship belonged to weren't so pure hearted since remember poachrs and slavers are also present arond that time s othey may have lied to the couple giving them all they need until their true colors revealed(which gladly as stopepd by lightining bolts causing fire or maybe they started the frie themselves?), which may explain why their hair is different because they may have had time to dye their hair and change clothes since they were very wet and when they were at sea, perhaps it was a novelty fun thing for them to capture their time with their son while heading back to Arendelle...(or what they were tricked into thinking).

The first ship goes down by water, the second was burned and the two barely surviving on a dinghy to land, believed dead by their family.

Take into account that she may as well didn't know about the pregnancy yet otherwise I don't think they would risk going to the dark sea. The first time they were lucky but this time no escape from their deaths. (Though then again maybe she kenw and they didn’t tell anyone as they didn’t tell anything about ahtohallan anyways)

Also another possibility : Either they dyad their hair or their time at see and stranded may have been enough to change their hair colors; they were in the cold all their lives, so to be thrown to a tropical island for a couple years has chances for darkening and lightening hair. The animation styles are different between the years, so I looked for Elsa reimagined in classic Disney style, and found one close to it with her face giving a side view (it has her looking at her child as she is imagined as being a mother by that artist) which i compared to a side view shot of Tarzan's birth mother and the resemblance was quite striking.

Also eye coor isn't clear either way sicne we do see soemtimes parents eyes change from blue to green to the mix, and on the pic in the treehosue the father seems to have more greenish color and the woman has blue. Just so you know

And last in frozen 2 they show river's memory of water surrounding them, but that doesn't necessarily means they died right away

Ah, post-punk. I’ll always stay true to you, because I love you so, especially when you’re so darked and knotted, twisted and gnarly like this new song, Fat Cat, from Chicago’s Walking Bicycles. The band just announced their new album Chooch, their first since 2014′s cacophonous To Him That Wills The Way, and now they’ve unleashed this blistering anthem, a raucous and serrated, mathy and fierce slayer with a gratifying crimson gloom reminiscent of Savages and Siouxsie and the Banshees. New album Chooch will be arriving on April 26th through the band’s long-running imprint Highwheel Records. Pre-order via Bandcamp, here.

How long did it take you to learn to ride a bicycle?

Alright so the  first two-wheeled….thing, I got was in 1819. It wasn’t really a bicycle though….you used your legs to move, not pedals, and I ended up crashing and breaking it and got a  fine so that was the end of that thing.

But then in 1869 I finally got my hands on a real bicycle. Not for personal use this time though. See as a cutting edge nation with a top tier military I made use of whatever I could so we had early style of bicycles to relay messages. I didn’t serve that role but that’s when I decided to learn cause I was curious.  Probably took me about two weeks or  so. Later on, like um, 1880? I got myself a highwheeler too! It was a lot of fun, they were super fast for the day and being  so high up was exciting!  I mean sure I fell pretty bad like once…or  twice, but it was worth it

Many of you know Jeff as one of our ride leaders throughout the years. We can’t speak higher of him, of his contagious enthusiasm and care for those around him, of his love for bicycling, and his propensity challenge himself to benefit others.  Two years ago, Jeff raised $6,000 for Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids by racing a 12″ scooter for the 22 mile Barry Roubaix Gravel Race. This year he’s at it again and going big! He’s riding a 48″ Highwheeler in the 36 mile race. He’s set 3 ambitious goals for this year: - 4x the shares on social media (2016 total: 611 shares, 2018 goal: 2,400 shares)

- 3x the donors (2016 total: 126 donors, 2018 goal: 300 donors)

- $10,000 in donations

He knows accomplishing just one of the these goals would be incredible and all of us here at Michigan Coast Riders is proud to support him making this a success. Please join us in sharing and donating!  For more information head over here:
