    East Resorts

    Ive been to all those places or near them for biking or for work. My opinon is MSA. Quebec city is an amazing place. There is no other place like it in North America. Bromont is also very cool, but is a resort town. Plattekill has the best riding probably, but lets face it, its in the...

    East coast night DH?? Looking for interest.

    Right, the plattekill podium has never seen such class. I could wear my prison jumpsuit instead...I dont think i will need a light with that on. Im thinking the Delta House team would and should be the premier team at an event like this. Not saying we would win or even do well, just that...

    ACL Reconstruction experiences

    I had my first ACL replaced in 1989 with a patellar tendon graft. A 13" incision straight down the middle of my leg. That took 3 months on crutches, a year before I could run. I wore several different braces after. I just had the same knee done on Feb 9th. New tunnels and a hamstring...

    Windham World Cup Finals - Live Thread

    there is a steep step down right there and if you go too big off it the landing is flat. my guess is he went a little too big off it, landed flat and got blown off the bike.

    Constructive Criticism for Mt. Snow and other mountains

    Theres a lot of spoiled bratty kids in this sport...with plenty of whinning handed out from them with their bikes that their parents bought, their pink and yellow pajamas...have a couple kids and you'll realize you dont have time to bitch about tape on a course. Harden eh F#*K up. I would slap...

    Glasses make you 99.99987% faster!

    I got glasses when i was 5...in 1977. Got contacts when I was 15...yeah...1987. Wore contacts up until 3 years ago and got Lasik. If you need glasses or contacts to see, Lasik will be the best thing you have ever done. Regarding DH, glasses seem to me to be impossible, but i had heavy...

    Skrewdriver...Nice...why not bring Rahowa back for a reunion? Then we can duplicate the baseball bat scene from Inglorious Basterds after they are done playing. I call i get the first swing. I know I'm not Jewish, but it would be nice to bring some come-uppance to those predjuced pricks.

    I think harcore will come back when all the little F-ers stop trying to be tough by shaving their whole bodies and listening to stuff that doesn't even relate to them. The kids need to get angry again. Slayer would be great. Not sure we could get that booked tho.

    Yeah, I may have just gone to my last hardcore show, to see Starkweather in Albany. At 37, seemed a little odd. Then talking to Vin and Harry, bassist and drummer for them, they are in their 40's so, didn't feel so bad. Talked about the scene in the 80's and 90's, shows in little bars in...

    Jon, very cool... I can sympathize with feeling older, slower, and broken and occasionally feeling like wtf am I doing here, feeling off. Then spring comes. He's so right abou the trails in MA and in general New England. I've been lucky to trailride all over from Maryland to Ontario and...

    Neck Braces - Which One.

    No, the Leatt works with both. Comments above about short guys getting used to it are true. If you are a goon, like Huck, you will forget about it quickly. I've have the Leatt for a couple seasons. If there is a device to keep you from being paralyzed, you should have some common sense...
