The Walking Beast shows off its huge stride, flame poofers and the weird pelvic foot it thrusts down to aid in turning. Spotted along the Esplanade at Black Rock City, NV during Burning Man, 2012. The beast was built a few years back by Martin Montesano

The Walking Beast - Forward and Reverse
Published on Jun 7, 2014

Look at the twin cylinders projecting into the passenger compartment, they're slotted with chains running to each of the front legs. There's 3 coil springs stacked in them. On the downstroke they cushion the Beast's footfall, on the upstroke they give a bit of assist.
I believe they're rated @ 7,000lbs (Martin, jump in here if I'm wrong).
It's really smoothed out the ride and should add extra steps to its lifespan.
The TWB's lifetime is measured in steps, not miles or hours...
