@pinegrove: As a parent, I appreciate the effort to ensure the safety of my kids. Coaches spend a lot of time with the student athletes away from supervision. I’m glad they’re prepared to handle the sometimes questionable decisions my kids my make in the heat of the moment. Basic bike knowledge, riding skills, and first aid are critical. At least in my local program, it’s not mildly supervising. It’s a deliberate coach to athlete ratio. Beyond all the basics, I want to make sure there’s background checks for all involved.

@bman33: Really? You’d call an entire organization devoted to the develop of kids through cycling pathetic due to the decision of a single course marshal? First, you should learn about some of the field sizes. They can have a lot of kids on course at a single time, and most are still developing their skills. And the kid jumping? While I admire the enthusiasm, how is anyone to know his or her skills? What teenager doesn’t overestimate their own capabilities and end up hurting themselves with some degree of regularity. I’ve watched my own son transform as a result of NICA. He’s gone from anxious, and depressed to confident and poised. He’s healthier and happier. He’s done soccer, martial arts, skiing, and par cours, but none have had the impact of NICA.

@pasteque51: Yeah, but the doctors are just practicing. The internet experts are doing it for realz.

@handynzl: It’s either: a: “eats shoots and leaves” if we’re discussing the dietary habits of a panda or b: “eats, shoots, and leaves” if we’re talking about criminal activity at a diner. I can’t think of when “eats, shoots and leaves” is actually correct.

@mikekazimer: But still, no Greg Herbold?

@Stampers: Wow - never thought I'd see a Firefox reference on here.

Anyone else notice the chinese writing on the boxes of Fox parts? Are they producing in China now?
