I thought what we saw tied to the ladder is just extra strap to keep it from flappin in da wind, but a closer look does show that the strap holding the top of the vertical cabinet is tied to the ladder. If he has an eyebolt on the other side of the cabinet at the floor, the strap going side to side should hold it down tight so the strap on the ladder doesn't need to do much. But I think that strap may go over the horizonal and down.

As far as the roof rack ... 110% agreement. I gotta think the rack has a center metal support under it, I think that's one of the hitch hauler sytems that go into a trailer hitch mount with a sheet of plywood on top to make it a little larger.

But aside from the straps, I wish I was riding to a contest right now in that.
