I haven't listened to the whole podcast yet, but I skimmed through it. What I want to know is how they addressed yaw-ing of the two tubes.

Stoked for Hugh, back in early 2000's and I was in a mIRC Aussie mtb group chat and he was coming up with suspension ideas back then, we were all thinking he was a lunatic but here we are. Dude is switched on as hell.
