What has happened to Speed Metal?
They used to stand for parties, large women and staying up till 4 am on race days.
The famous quote that will live for ever; How can I get off with ... on the bed!
Long live the old days!

Well, if you want someone young and irresponsible (the best combination for DH imo), I have had 2 unrelated injuries (and doctor visits(I know, that's really responsible))in one week.

Yeah don't worry about them, you could join TBBXC's fan club. We're way sexier and we don't suffer from bad full face helmet hair. :thumb:

I still dont remember when in the good old days we were Irresponsible........

I remember not having many sponsors. I remember having to wear black T-shirts as jerseys. I remember when we did fianlly get our first jersey, it was all F'ed up and rushed. We barely got it in time for the last 2 races.

I think its called growing up, if that means being responsible and having some great supporting sponsors (for racing) and having a strong team willing to support those who help us, and also having a dialed professional looking jersey before racing starts, then i guess thats just the way it goes.

Would love to, although my skills arent up to par on the big daddy stuff.....

This year were not going home sunday night(or monday morning as it was last year...we sat in line from 7:00pm to about 12:00am) So, maybe we could meet for a monday session before we get on the boats home?

You do know your still part of the team if not on the active racer roster? I dont know why you feel that you've been booted to the curb? You've said many a time that you didnt know how much racing you could do because of $$, and that impacts more than just being able to race. There was an expectation to meet certain deadlines and commitments that had been set since november.....

Have you been checking your Speedmetal mail? I know there has been some correspondance to you as well as rocco and peter who arent active for this year, yet still considered family.

To answer, Yea i hope to see you at Mt Wa along with other events.
