Oh sweet, I've been looking for this kinda tire, building up a sweet AM bike that I just wanna be able to thrash, need a tire that can save my a$$ when I decide to huck something or do something stupid!!

I just started night dh riding, and its funny how it shows all your faults. If you're not keeping your head up, if your not pressing with the outside foot, if you're on the brakes too much, it all shows up when night riding. Like a secret you have been keeping to yourself, suddenly the blackness reveals all your bad habits. Its great, a great way to learn to ride faster, and react quicker, and live on the edge, the edge of your beam in the darkness!!

Leonardo- reminds me of the Ninja Turtles, Leonardo was the badass one with the blue bandanna!!

Politics aren't logical ALOT of the time unfortunately and its too bad that its got the trickle down effect into mountain biking. I can say from personal experience, that I am MORE than happy to have not given into ANY of the pressures that have been put on us to conform. I'm part of a grassroots mountain bike park, and we have gotten it from all sides, everybody wants a piece of the pie or to tell us how to do what they want and it all comes down to money. The thing is though, when you take money out of the equation, they got nothing, they have no clout, no pull, no way to "convince" us that we need to be a part of their organization. If it weren't for the grassroots efforts of so many people, none of these organizations would even exist!!! Screw em, we don't need em, heres to private and unsanctioned races!!

Around TN!!!! Shit, I like the sound of this....

Its funny you say that, I bashed on the riders who rode without gloves for the longest time, then I tried it and it was like a EUREKA moment for me!! IMO gloves are good if you crash alot, they protect your hands from getting ripped up, but the control that you have without them is unparalleled. I feel so much more of what the front of my bike is doing and more control, unless it is a freaking hot day and you're hands are sweaty, but I ride gloveless as much as possible.

Bought an AE flannel on 75% clearance for $7.50.... Target has great flannels, and thrift shops have great flannels too!!

Dude, I could buy 5 flannel shirts for the price of that one!! #Lovethemthriftshops

Hellllll yeah!! That was awesome!! I loved it!!! Great song, great concept, watched it like 5 times!!!!

Also the Mountain hardware windproof beanie with a thin line of fleece type material around the edge works well too, its only $18ish...
