awesome. post pics up here after you take some, and make sure to resize them! no 3500px images in ridemonkey threads please. my parents helped me out with buying my 20D when my D30 broke this summer after i'd quit my job to hang out at whistler/the north shore.

wow, i cant believe how spoiled alot of you guys are. I thought this x-mas was huge getting a minidisk player.
yeah, we are spoiled. my catch was a tie, a card made by my mother, a cat tree ornament (since i've always been a cat fanatic for some strange reason), and my parents continuing to help out with the majority of my school expenses :thumb: . oh, and i bought myself a new set of headphones (sennheiser HD600)

i didn't get an iPod, which is the only thing i really wanted. but i would've felt super guilty had my mom dropped the coin on one of those, so i'm not disappointed. i'm happy, i got a ride in. all's well.

opps, Stainless steal hubs on the FLY. Good luck with the ST. Mine lasted 3-4 rides last year on the rear. Then the side knobs started to rip off. The SRY has lasted a lot better so far. I think Im going back to 60D for general riding and will stick the SRY on the front for Fernie and Whistler.

Nice to hear about the huge road gap. Merry X-Mas.

Aside from being with family and watching my son learn to walk, i got some good stuff....(not bad for not really asking for much)

I got like 200 hours of DVD's.....

Simpsons season 5
Simpsons gone wild DVD
Family Guy seths top 5.
Ren & Stimpy seasons 1&2
Home movies season 1
Aquateen Hungerforce Season 1 (already had) and season 3
Seinfield Season 3
Office Space DVD

Also scored some sick dickies pants, an old school Simpsons shirt, and 50 bucks in starbucks money, a dremel accesory kit, and some kitchen items.

I dont tend to ask for bike stuff, but am planning on giving myself a gift of a new wheelset since this weeeknd i discoverd the freehub body on my xt hub has stripped out, and my singletrack rims are going on 3 years of abuse..... Thinking MTX rims, and either ringle (if i order complete built set)or hadley hubs if i build myself........
