BMXless

Helped Liam with the UAB video premier party Saturday. Highest bunnyhop was the highlight, with Eric Trepanier blasting 39.5 inches. Jeez. Eric won three of the four classes, with only Dylan, the 12 year old who bought my bike, winning a class (amateur step-up). His dad had the bike appraised for insurance at $3500.
We made the MTB riders ride with the BMXers. If we are going to integrate, they shouldn't get to ride the equivalent of a training-wheel class.
Profile just sent me some stuff for my new bike. I'm running mini - race hubs with 3/8 ti bolts front and rear. Pegless. Why I got an orange sprocket is beyond me though.
I'm still hoping that Thomas Goring is going to donate his new KHE Stimulatorz with ti axles to the bike. Graphite pedals with sealed bearings and ti axles? Wow. His new tires look to be half the weight of normal tires, too.
Have you seen that new Eastern Bikes prototype? I really like it, but I wonder if it whistles at speed.
I feel pretty healthy. Must be the not-riding.
