SK: Normally when I get things "suggested" they aren't really "suggestions" per se. Demands with the threat of violence cloaked in pretty speech.

The upside, you can make "suggestions" for the time at home...

And that my dear sir is the whole reason for my "agreeing" to this. :sneaky:

Perverts of a feather and all that...

I think I am doing white tail that weekend to get points in the MAC. I need to bust some ass this year, I have this overwhelming drive to move up to semi-pro to try to work my way onto a team. One last season in the sun before I'm 30 has become this big thing right now.

Sometime you should come down here, bring your DJ bike. The secret spot in my yard is 1/2 done, should be finished by the weekend. Nothing massive, but its got a keg and BBQ two steps from the drop in.

any word on if Powerline has reached stp yet? It would rule if you could run that trail without having to take the full beating in getting to it.

Word I have is no. There isn't money in the budget for both Powerline and Monster Park.

Over the last week, we've received lots of emails inquiring when the mountain bike trails at Snowshoe will be opening for the summer 2006 season - we'll, here's the answer. The Bike Park and all the Downhill Trails will be opening on Friday, May 26. This will be the official start of the season! Between now and then, we'll be out on the hill adding new trails and features as well as the new Dirt Jump / Slopestyle Park. In fact, all this work will kick off on Monday, April 17. Stay tuned for updates and pictures of our building process.

My wife has pulled that routine on me for the week before Nationals.

We've made "compromises." I reccomend you negotiate, you can get a pretty good set of terms if you mope around your bike a bunch.
