I had an S7 on my BigHit! Damn, I forgot about that fork.

I never had an inverted fork of my own, but the S8 was bad ass.
You wanna know how I tested the S8?

I ran my test rig at about 15mph into the wall beside the shipping department and it sucked it up.

yeah, we had Shaums March do real off-road testing, but that was mine...

I had a DBR X-10 with fully extruded front end and a Helix Pro rear shock with lockout - a perk at that time of being in the industry.

Likely the best FS 'Black Diamond' whatever all purpose rig I ever had...

damn R you're giving me all kinds of flashbacks....to bad Stratos couldn't last...great fork ideas...D

I lost most of my old photos in a hard drive crash a long time ago. I guess the worst biking photo I have is this scanned one with my cousin but its not that bad...

It's a derailleur cage tensioner....

The Avid Rollamajig is blue too...

Its a Bullet Brothers. I bought it at Mt Snow in 95 at their booth, I was running the DH spring.

Coolest thing on that bike is cromo Sweetwing cranks - 5 grams heavier than the first generation XTR external BB cranks that came out a decade later. I traded the to the owner of bike shop for a brand new pair of interloc tubular cromo cranks when I got a frame they wouldn't fit in...

Yeah like I am going to post an embarrasing photo for you sharks to look at and then rip on me about.

I'll have to find something when I get home, but I don't have many photos of myself.

You post those and you'll get rep... negative rep.

Chaps and a mullet are NEVER good.

Avoiding the nine to five
here is one that isnt as embarrassing as the others

the infamous naked crit last year after nationals in vermont, i decided to wear a helmet that night, vella bella girls were looking pretty good too, lol
There is a strange lack of tanlines in that photo for a bunch of cyclists.

Speaking of tanlines, I have this gem from my spring break ride from San Jose, CA to Santa Barbara, CA. 4 days on a fixed gear resulted in some awesome tanlines. No apologies for the hair.
