Made that mistake too. I was thirsty and there was free Red Bull at the top. Drank a few and felt more than a little jittery in the start gate. Also once raced extremely hungover. My main goal was not puking in my helmet (luckily, accomplished).That reminds me of - drinking 12 red bulls 30mins before my race run.
I am ashamed....being the only person to show up for the west monkeyfest
held over on duty. couldnt leave. bags were packed.being the only person to show up for the west monkeyfest
Hangover plus 2 hours of sleep. My main goal was to not fall and go to sleep between the tape. It sounded like a really tempting idea at the time.Made that mistake too.

it took you that long to figure it out??Using Kenda Nevegals for a season...
You've obviously never tried to corner with them.Not running Kenda small block 8s for slalom. Soooo fast
They hook up perfect on anything relatively smooth. They're awesome on any halfway decent DS and smooth 4x. The DH style 4x courses I'll race my DH bike with Minions.You've obviously never tried to corner with them.
Yeah, Jon's right.Using Kenda Nevegals for a season...
Those are decent tires... not fully dh, but good tires imo. On super hardpack, they're not great.Putting any kind of trust in Tioga Factory DH tires. There was factory nor dh about them and it cost me a broken collarbone in Whistler.
i can sooo relate to that...I have just relived so many face palm moments;
- Buying Crank Bros 50/50's.

My #2 or 3. Defn a great bike.wat??? My straight six is my most missed bike of any I own.
Must be good luck from having a pair of high heels with cleatsI love my Crank Bros pedals. Never had an issue.
I run Acids on the trail bike, 50/50 on the DH bike and Candys on the road and track bike.
Haha. You know I've put almost 62 miles on those heels (all but 2 miles on the road, of course). That's a lot of silliness.Must be good luck from having a pair of high heels with cleats
Holy crap! Backstory?This happened on 1st Divide this weekend. Always put your inside foot down, not the one you usually dismount with:
I think we need a pic of heels with cleatsHaha. You know I've put almost 62 miles on those heels (all but 2 miles on the road, of course). That's a lot of silliness.
For the most part, the video IS the back story. The rest of the story is that Miles recovered and went on to kick a** and take names at numerous endurance events afterwards. He's an amazingly strong rider. He helped me train for the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo this past Feb. I'd be on my geared bike for some 6-mile climb, and he'd be on his singlespeed. I told him I was actually at a disadvantage because of the weight penalty I took with all those chain rings, gears, and derailleurs.Holy crap! Backstory?
