Watch "How to try out new suspension!" on YouTube

https://youtu.be/pCvRlmZ8JZs

A bit extreme for a Sportsmobile but impressive anyway. I'm sure Ramsey or other suspension gurus would appreciate.

It looks to me like they bent a blue something just above the rear wheel. At 19 sec it is straight then bends at 20-21 sec it is bent and does not go back in shape at 27 seconds.

Pretty sure that's just a hydraulic line of some sort, shock reservoir or something.
