    I have a theory

    To the defense of the early 80s kids...we did after all have to go through that Gen-X nihilism crap. Any glimmer of brilliance should be adorned with a medal. I mean look at me, I came out okay. I live in a basement, became a vegetarian, I’m a professional in the bike biz…oh wait...

    Internet Hernia Experts - Right this way

    Thee ol' trouser trout or both if your hungover, but it's best not to drink before an opperation. I think this is more an issue with open (as opposed to laparoscopic). It’s concerning to look at but it’s just bruising and excess fluid. Both are hard to avoid any operation. It doesn’t happen...

    Internet Hernia Experts - Right this way

    If I had a dime for every time...never mind. There's a ton of bad information out there. The operation has gone a long way just in the past 5 years. You can be up and moving around in 3ish days with the current mesh. JonKranked may be able to correct me on this but failure with mesh is like...

    Internet Hernia Experts - Right this way

    Are you talking with your PCP or a surgeon? If you haven’t been talking with a surgeon get your doctor to refer you to one. Though if it’s not actually poking through he may be right and they can’t do anything, at least for the time being. I’m not an expert though. If...

    Jobs in the downhill/mountain bike world.

    See! Your already on the right path. I had one of those too. It met a sad end on a dirt road in New Hampshire though...

    Jobs in the downhill/mountain bike world.

    It's true there's some harsh realities to the bike industry. I won't go into detail but I've been through some awful things to make it work. I can't say I regret it. Sure I know alot of people I went to school make double than me. Right now I'm happy where I am. A few of my friends are...

    Jobs in the downhill/mountain bike world.

    It sounds like you wanna be more on the people side than, the tech/production side. Personally I'm on the later. I think I saw a few people mention getting a bike mech job, which I would agree with. I would also heavily reccomend becoming active in your local bike community. Take a look at...

    Excited about the improvements! I'm off trail building for a bit though as I just had an opperation. Hopefully in a month I'll have a shovel in hand.

    Pics of my belt drive project

    10mm Wide. Typically the belts run at a high tension so you don't have to worry about them falling off.

    Tell me about Toronto

    I'm looking at a long term project in Toronto over the summer, but I know nothing about the area. The city seems pretty cool...i.e. good music/art/culture? Who's been? Of course the big question: Mountain biking, how is it there? What other outdoor things can be had. Thanks!

    Airline accidents up recently?

    I hate every aspect of flying and I have to do it often. Even the one decent aspect of flying internationally has been removed...free drinks! (At least on United) If your like me and want to feed the paranoia here's a statistical web site. http://www.airline-safety-records.com/. However...

    What do you do????

    Coffee. Sometimes I make it fresh, sometimes I warm it up. This is usually done in old flannel. I eat breakfast, sometimes eggs sometimes the cheapest oatmeal I could find in the store. It's not that these things make me happy, but if don't get them I will be un-happy. Then I go to work...

    Nice Mickey! That's a great build, and fierce looking frame. It almost makes me want to race again.

    Quebec City???

    I liked the surrounding small towns more than the city itself. There is some fancy dinning to be had though. It was years ago, so you'll have to excuse my lack of names, but there was a pretty cool island lie d'Orleans. Did some wine tastings and sight seeing. There's a really neat Cathedral...
